The global urinary tract infections market is forecasted at USD 10.07 billion in 2020 and is estimated to be growing at a CAGR of 2.14%, to reach USD 11.19 billion by 2025.
Urinary Tract Infection is an infection that affects parts of the urinary tract. When it affects the lower urinary tract, it is called a bladder infection or cystitis, and when it affects the upper urinary tract, it is called kidney infection or pyelonephritis. A UTI can happen anywhere in your urinary tract. Your urinary tract is made up of your kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. Most UTIs only involve the urethra and bladder in the lower tract. However, UTIs can involve the ureters and kidneys in the upper tract. Although upper tract UTIs are rarer than lower tract UTIs, they’re also usually more severe. UTI symptoms are burning, increased frequency of urination, bloody urine, pelvic pain in women, rectal pain in men, urine that looks like cola or tea. Today Urinary Tract Infections are most common in women.
The most common cause of infection is E coli, though other fungi or bacteria may rarely be the cause. Risk factors include female anatomy, diabetes, obesity, sexual intercourse, and family history. Although sexual intercourse is a risk factor, urinary tract infections are not categorized as sexually transmitted infections. If kidney infection occurs, it usually follows a bladder infection and results from infection, which is blood-borne in nature. Diagnosis in young, healthy women can be based alone on symptoms. In those with vague symptoms, diagnosis is difficult since bacteria may be present without an infection. In complicated cases or when conventional treatments fail, a urine culture may be useful.
The driving factors of the global urinary tract infections market are the sudden rise in the prevalence rate and the disease's diagnosis. This has started the opportunities for major players to allocate their resources towards combination therapy research and development. This will surely result in the growth of market size during the forecast period. With the launch of new drugs for multiple indications under urinary tract infections and label expansion for already existing drugs, the market is expected to boost further. The generic, low-cost competition for some of the drugs is fierce and is forecasted to get more competitive and thus can contribute to offsetting the figures for the current market size.
Complicated regulatory monitoring hampers the urinary tract infections market. Several companies have prevented or reduced the research and development activities in advancing antibiotics as they have a low return on investments. The investments required for the research and development activities for new drugs and antibiotics are comparatively low. This factor is to limit the market growth. Lack of awareness regarding the frequent urinary tract infections in the developed and underdeveloped countries is restraining the market growth. The clinical trials for preparing antibacterial drugs are challenging and require an instructive, ethical, and scientific approach. The mentioned-above factor obstructs the market growth.
Impact of COVID-19 on the global urinary tract infections market:
The novel coronavirus (COVID 19), which turned into a worldwide pandemic, infected millions of people and caused thousands to death. The common comorbidity in COVID 19 positive patients is diabetes, chronic lung disease, and hypertension. People with 60 years and above or suffering from health conditions like diabetes, heart or lung disease, which affects their immune system, are more likely to suffer from COVID 19. Not only efficient of causing respiratory illness, but the COVID 19 may also damage the organ systems of the human body along with urogenital systems. The COVID 19 sensitivity may result in bladder dysfunction.
