Acute Bacterial Skin And Skin Structure Infections (ABSSSI) Treatment Market Size, Share and Industry Analysis By Infection Type (Hospital-acquired ABSSSI, Community-acquired ABSSSI), By Route of Administration (Oral, Parenteral), By Distribution Channel (Hospitals Pharmacy, Retail Pharmacy, Online Pharmacy) and Regional Forecast 2019-2032

The global acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI) treatment market size was valued at USD 7,270.9 Million in 2018 and is Projected to Reach USD 25,904.2 Million by 2032, Exhibiting a CAGR of 9.5% during the forecast period (2018-2032).

Acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections are referred to as bacterial infection of the skin and associated tissues. These infections can be complicated skin infections or uncomplicated skin infections.

Antibiotics are used for the treatment of skin and skin structure infections but an increase in antimicrobial resistance between gram-positive and negative bacteria with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus has become quite challenging in treating ABSSSI. So, the development of novel drugs to fight against resistant microbes is the need of the hour.

Additionally, the prevalence of bacterial skin infections is rising in emerging nations such as China, India, and some regions of Latin America and Middle East & Africa. Extensive research in the development of new treatment options and a huge number of potential pipeline drugs in late and mid-stage development are anticipated to create a profitable environment for acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections treatment market growth during the forecast period.
