High Prevalence Of Tuberculosis In North America Is Propelling The Growth Of The Pyrazinamide Market
In March 2017, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), Partners In Health (PIH), and other medical organizations have launched a major clinical trial that seeks to revolutionize treatment for the toughest strains of tuberculosis (TB), the world’s leading infectious disease killer.
The
increasing incidence and prevalence of tuberculosis (TB) disease is playing a
significant role in the overall development of the Pyrazinamide market. According
to the World Health Organization, worldwide, TB is one of the top 10 causes of
death and the leading cause from a single infectious agent (above HIV/AIDS).In
2019, an estimated 10 million people fell ill with tuberculosis (TB) worldwide.
5.6 million men, 3.2 million women, and 1.2 million children. TB is present in
all countries and age groups. Pyrazinamide is a drug widely used to treat tuberculosis.
Furthermore, increasing spending on pharmaceutical industry by key
manufacturers are further anticipated to uplift the growth of the Pyrazinamide
market.
Pyrazinamide
belongs to an extensive family of antifungal agents which include nystatin,
anthrallin, and streptomycin. It belongs
to the group of antifungals known as antifungal agents that inhibit the growth
of filamentous organisms such as yeast, mold, and algae. It is used to treat
tuberculosis (TB) Pyrazinamide comes in tablet form and can also be given as a
nasal spray or lozenge. Pyrazinamide, like many antifungals, acts by inhibiting
the replication of the causative agent, the bacteria. Therefore, when the
causative agent, a gram-negative bacteria, is not reproduced rapidly, the infection
will be under control. Like many antifungals, pyrazinamide may be taken by
mouth in liquid or tablet form.
From
the geographical analysis, North America is projected to attain tremendous
growth over the forecast timeframe owing to the strong presence of the
healthcare industry due to growing investment by the government in the region.
As per the stats published by the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services, the U.S. health care spending grew 4.6 percent in 2019, reaching $3.8
trillion or $11,582 per person. As a share of the nation's Gross Domestic
Product, health spending accounted for 17.7 percent. Moreover, the high
prevalence of tuberculosis in the region has further boosted the regional
market growth in recent years.
