Industry Dynamics
Ceftriaxone Market Growth Drivers
The rising prevalence of infectious diseases globally is the primary driver of the global market for ceftriaxone. Another major driver for the market growth of the ceftriaxone industry is the expiration of the patentability of blockbuster drugs in the years ahead, which will allow generic manufacturers to manufacture their generic versions. After these deadlines, the big pharma companies outsource the manufacturing process, allowing them to focus on their core competencies of drug development. These collaborations are expected to propel the market expansion of the ceftriaxone industry forward. People are becoming more susceptible to infections as their lifestyles and life choices change, which will drive the global market for ceftriaxone growth. Moreover, the increased adoption of ceftriaxone to treat urinary tract infection (UTI) also known as bladder infection among women, and the surge in the geriatric population having an improper immune system will fuel the market growth of the global ceftriaxone industry.
In addition, for patients who are allergic to penicillin, ceftriaxone is used as the first-line treatment for neurosyphilis. Ceftriaxone injection is also given prior to certain types of surgery to prevent infections from developing after the procedure. These factors may propel the market development of the ceftriaxone industry.
