What are the leading drivers of growth in the metronidazole market?

The metronidazole market is predicted to grow due to the rising occurrences of bacterial infections. Such infections occur when harmful bacteria proliferate in the body. This rise can be attributed to issues like antibiotic resistance, environmental shifts, and growing numbers of immunocompromised individuals. Metronidazole works by damaging bacterial DNA, thereby stopping its reproduction and spread. Consequently, it’s effective in combating anaerobic bacteria and some protozoal infections by inhibiting bacterial growth and treating the infection. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) reported in November 2023 that in 2022, approximately 58,224 people in England were afflicted by antibiotic-resistant infections. This figure signifies a 4% growth from 55,792 in 2021. The death toll from severe antibiotic-resistant infections also increased, from 2,110 in 2021 to 2,202 in 2022. Hence, the escalating prevalence of bacterial infections is likely to boost the metronidazole market’s expansion.
