The global bacteriophage market is poised for significant growth, with a valuation expected to reach USD 45.07 million in 2023. This upward trajectory is projected to continue, as the market is anticipated to expand to USD 68 million by 2033, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.2% during the forecast period.
Bacteriophages, which are viruses that infect and kill bacteria, are gaining recognition for their potential applications in combating antibiotic-resistant infections and improving food safety. The increasing prevalence of multidrug-resistant bacteria has intensified the need for innovative solutions, driving interest in bacteriophage therapies as an alternative or complement to traditional antibiotics.
The growth of the bacteriophage market is fueled by advancements in research and development, leading to the emergence of new therapeutic products and applications. As healthcare providers and researchers continue to explore the efficacy of bacteriophages in clinical settings, the demand for these unique biological agents is expected to rise.
Additionally, growing awareness among consumers about antibiotic resistance and the limitations of conventional antibiotic treatments is further propelling the market forward. The potential of bacteriophages to target specific bacterial strains without harming beneficial microbiota positions them as a promising solution in modern medicine.
With ongoing innovations and increasing investments in the field, the bacteriophage market is set to play a crucial role in addressing some of the most pressing challenges in healthcare today.
Bacteriophages, viruses that target and destroy bacteria, are gaining traction as an alternative to traditional antibiotics, particularly in the face of rising antibiotic resistance.
Bacteriophages, or phages, are viruses that target and destroy specific bacteria, offering a promising alternative to traditional antibiotics, particularly in the face of rising antimicrobial resistance. As the global healthcare industry increasingly turns to innovative solutions to combat bacterial infections, the demand for bacteriophage-based therapies is gaining momentum.
Phage probiotics are increasingly in demand since they have many advantages over conventional probiotics. This is driving the market’s expansion. In order to maintain a healthy gut, phage probiotics encourage the growth of beneficial gut bacteria over bad gut bacteria. The market is expanding more rapidly as novel treatment options for infections caused by bacteria resistant to antibiotics are being developed. Growing public knowledge of the use of bacteriophage probiotics for those with immune-mediated digestive problems and bowel problems will also help the industry.
Surging demand for phage probiotics has encouraged the key players in the market to up their game by increasing investment in research and development (R&D) for new bacteriophages. In comparison to antibiotics, bacteriophages possess high host specificity, they exhibit good benefits with single hit kinetics, are self-replicating and also possess anti-biofilm properties.
As per FMI, gastroenterology is the most sought after application of phage probiotics, as phage probiotics are administered by doctors since phage therapeutics do not get early clearance from regulatory authorities in many developing regions.
Bacteriophage probiotics are mostly administered via the oral route since it is non- invasive, shows immediate release and is cost effective. These probiotics are widely available in retail pharmacies, thereby, boosting the sales in developing nations.
