The Dominican Republic meropenem market is being driven primarily by rising clinical need due to an increase in severe infections and antimicrobial resistance. From a market perspective, this creates sustained demand for last-line carbapenem antibiotics in tertiary care hospitals and intensive care units. The higher burden of severe dengue cases, frequent sepsis admissions, and growing prevalence of carbapenem resistant organisms force clinicians to rely on meropenem as a critical therapeutic option. This is strengthening procurement by public hospitals, expanding usage in private facilities, and shaping government policy priorities around access to essential antimicrobials, directly supporting growth in the Dominican Republic’s meropenem market.
From a market standpoint, the surge in severe infections and resistance patterns in the Dominican Republic translates directly into higher demand for meropenem. The evidence from government surveillance reports, WHO assessments, and peer-reviewed studies shows a clear trajectory: more patients requiring critical care, more outbreaks of resistant bacteria, and more reliance on carbapenems as the antibiotic of choice in complex infections. For suppliers, this underscore expanding opportunities in the Dominican pharmaceutical sector, particularly in hospital channels. At the same time, stewardship initiatives and government monitoring highlight the need for balanced supply to meet rising clinical requirements while preventing overuse. Overall, the Dominican Republic meropenem market is poised for steady growth, driven by urgent therapeutic demand and reinforced by national and international health priorities.

Key Findings of the Study
Growing Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) to Other Beta-Lactams
Growing resistance to other beta lactams is reshaping demand dynamics in the Dominican Republic meropenem market. As penicillins and third generation cephalosporins lose effectiveness because of widespread extended spectrum beta lactamase activity and rising cephalosporin resistance, clinicians and hospital formulary committees increasingly turn to carbapenems such as meropenem for empiric coverage in severe Gram-negative infections. That clinical substitution drives larger hospital procurement volumes, strengthens purchasing from public and private hospital channels, and raises price-sensitivity and tender activity for carbapenems. At the same time, regulators and multilateral agencies are expanding surveillance and stewardship programs which influence stocking, tender timing and contract sizes. These clinical, regulatory and procurement signals together create a clearer, near-term growth runway for meropenem market in the Dominican Republic.
The evidence clearly indicates that rising resistance to other beta lactams is shifting the Dominican Republic antibiotic market toward greater dependence on carbapenems such as meropenem. High resistance rates to cephalosporins and penicillins, combined with surveillance gaps and recurring outbreaks of severe infections, are pushing hospitals to increase meropenem use in empiric and targeted therapy. For the market, this translates into larger procurement volumes from public hospitals, stronger demand in private healthcare facilities, and more competitive government tenders. At the same time, stewardship initiatives and PAHO-WHO monitoring will shape purchasing strategies, creating a dual environment of rising clinical need and controlled utilization. Overall, meropenem is positioned as a critical growth segment in the Dominican Republic, supported by therapeutic necessity and reinforced by national and regional health priorities.
