Difficile-Associated Diarrhea Market Analysis and Size

Clostridium difficile infection usually affects older adults. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 2015, clostridium difficile infection is the most common healthcare-associated infection. Regular antibiotic medication is also responsible for clostridium difficile infection, as antibiotics kill normal flora and allow for the multiplication of C. difficile bacteria. The infection has significantly increased in recent years as many new strains have appeared and antimicrobial resistance has increased. It is one of the closely associated causes of antibiotic-related diarrhea, with symptoms such as pseudomembranous colitis, mild, self-limiting diarrhea to severe diarrhea, and life-threatening fulminant colitis, which typically results in death.

Difficile-Associated Diarrhea Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

Primary clostridioides difficile is a bacterial infection that can cause symptoms varying from diarrhea to life-threatening colon inflammation. It has also emerged as a cause of community-associated diarrhea, ensuing in an increased incidence of community-associated infection. Clinical illness ranges in severity from mild diarrhea to colitis and death. It is one of the closely related causes of antibiotic-related diarrhea, with symptoms such as mild, self-limiting diarrhea to severe diarrhea, pseudomembranous colitis, and life-threatening fulminant colitis that usually results in death.

Global Difficile-Associated Diarrhea Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Rising Adoption of Antibiotics

Clostridium difficile infection is primarily associated with long-term antibiotic use. Rising antibiotic consumption changes the colon bacteria, allowing Clostridium difficile bacteria to grow. Antibiotics such as cephalosporins, clindamycin, and quinolones are more likely to cause Clostridium difficile infection (CDI). The growing use of these antibiotics is directly increasing the incidence of clostridium difficile infection which is most likely to boost the demand for its treatments. Thus, the increasing consumption of antibiotics acts as a major driver of growth in the global primary clostridium difficile infection treatment market.

• Growing Prevalence of Clostridium Difficile Infection

The occurrence of clostridium difficile infection has been witnessing an increase in the recent past because of the clostridium difficile infection recurrence and antibiotic resistance. As per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 2015, about half a million people in the U.S. suffer from clostridium difficile infection annually. Moreover, according to National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) records, around 37,900 patients suffered from clostridium difficile infection in Canada in 2012. Thus, it boosts market growth.

Opportunities

• Rising Drug Development Activities

Higher drug development activities for developing and launching several new drugs are projected to create market opportunities for growth by providing doctors with an alternative treatment option. Presently, there are no alternative therapies other than antibiotics, and the only other option available is surgery, fecal microbiota transplant, and probiotics in case of recurrent clostridium difficile infection. Though, manufacturers such as Rebiotix, Inc., Synthetic Biologics, Inc., Da Volterra, Crestovo LLC, and Immuron Ltd. have various microbiome therapeutics in the pipeline for clostridium difficile infection indication. Therefore, increased drug development activities for developing novel drugs for better treatment and prevention are anticipated to create market growth shortly.

• Increasing Demand for Retail Pharmacies

The increasing rate of these infectious therapeutics being delivered through retail pharmacies and the rise in the number of retail pharmacies in highly developed countries create many opportunities for market growth. In addition, patients elect retail pharmacies to purchase drugs, as these are easily available.

 Restraints/Challenges

• Lack of Skilled Professionals

The lack of trained healthcare professionals who cannot treat the patients with appropriate treatments could limit the growth of the global difficile-associated diarrhea market during a forecast period.

• High Cost For Drug Development

The current treatment options for CDIs are limited to antibiotics, and various pharmaceutical companies are presently focusing on developing non-antibiotic alternatives. Developing a new class of drugs will offer many growth opportunities for key market players, but it will also require major investments in R&D activities of novel therapies. The significantly high investment requirements may act as an obstacle to market growth.
