Global Clostridium difficile Infections market will soar to $1.5 billion by 2024; Report

23 October 2015

The global therapeutics and prophylactics market for Clostridium difficile infections (CDIs) will expand more than fourfold from $356.3 million in 2014 to over $1.5 billion by 2024, representing an impressive compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.8%, new research indicates.

According to research and consulting firm GlobalData’s latest report, this increase, which will occur across the seven major markets (7MM) of the USA, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the UK and Japan, will be driven by the modest uptake of patent-protected, CDI-specific antibiotics and the arrival of novel non-antibiotic approaches to treat and prevent recurrent CDI.

Marc Hansel, GlobalData’s health care industry analyst, says that, while Merck & Co (NYSE: MRK) will lead the CDI treatment landscape during the forecast period, several other competitors, such as Sanofi Pasteur, the vaccines unit of Sanofi (Euronext: SAN), Rebiotix, and Seres Health could also take a sizeable share of the market by 2024.
