The global bacteriophage market size was USD 33 million in 2021 and is projected to touch USD 159.93 million by 2031, exhibiting a CAGR of 17.1% during the forecast period.
Bacteriophage is a naturally occurring antibacterial agent that can be found in water, soil, sewage, and seven other areas where bacteria are present. Since the discovery of phages, several researchers have looked at their potential as medicinal agents. They are commonly utilized in food biocontrol, and lytic products are used as a natural technique. The environment was used to regulate the product description and target harmful germs.
An increase in the number of research centers is noticed with the increase in inpatient care coupled with the supplement of products. Due to these key factors, demand is expected to grow for the product. It can be used in the treatment of skin and hair-related issues. It also helps in reducing the intestinal colonization of animals that produce food. These factors are estimated to bolster the growth of the market.
COVID-19 Impact: Increasing R&D Activities for Vaccine Formulation to Bolster Market Progress
The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the product experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The spike in CAGR is attributable to the bacteriophage market growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.
The pandemic outbreak affected the market growth as it disturbed the supply chain. Prominent players operating in the global market faced major challenges due to the pandemic. The challenges involved the management of the supply chain and distribution of the product. Major disruption was noticed in the market as the pandemic caused the disturbance in clinical trial executions in the U.S., which affected the stakeholders across the world.
Furthermore, over the past few decades, diagnosis of diseases such as HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria have concluded that without effective preventative treatments, vaccinations or resolution, the pandemic will gradually require an approach with multi-facets. Various diseases, such as influenza, made an impression that vaccines have proven to be highly effective at limiting and controlling the virus spread. Many aspects are there in drug development to find leads. This editorial focuses on the potential of bacterial phages that may be useful in controlling the COVID-19 pandemic.
LATEST TRENDS
"Government Funding to Support R&D Activities to Propel Market Growth"
The bacteriophage market is anticipated to grow substantially due to the increasing incidence of resilient antibiotic infection, growing R&D activities to improve novel therapies, increasing adoption of growth strategies such as mergers & acquisitions, and collaborations by prominent players. Moreover, high investment by the government is expected to treat infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria, propelling the bacteriophage market growth. Moreover, the increase in research activities for the development of therapy, rising adoption of growth strategies, and manufacturing of antibiotic-resistant infections are anticipated to spur growth in the market. For instance, in 2019, BiomX Ltd, an Israel-based phage therapy firm, merged with New York-listed Chardan Healthcare Acquisition Corp. (CHAC). The company, after a merger, is led by BiomX ltd.
