Global anti-fungal drugs market is expected to reach USD28484.69 million by 2026, growing at CAGR of 10.39% over the forecast period. Fungal infections can lead to diseases including fungal pneumonia, candidiasis, mucormycosis, among others and these fungal infections require the dosage of anti-fungal drugs to ensure effective treatment. The increasing prevalence of fungal infections is considered the primary driver for the market growth in the forecast period. The rise in awareness levels among patients regarding the adverse effect of fungal infection on the human body is significantly accelerating the demand for anti-fungal drugs around the world. An increase in government funds and investments to promote research and development activities to formulate anti-fungal drugs is fueling the market growth. An increase in the use of anti-fungal drugs coupled with the rising number of anti-fungal drugs available over-the-counter is expected to boost the market demand. With the surge in popularity of over-the-counter drugs such as ketoconazole, miconazole, econazole, amorolfine, several patients are preferring over-the-counter drugs. The rise in onychomycosis cases, which is a fungal infection affecting fingers and toenails is also considered a major driver responsible for the high demand for anti-fungal drugs.
The global anti-fungal drugs market is segmented into drug class, indication, infection type, route of administration, end-user, distribution channel, regional distribution, and company. Based on drug class, market is further divided into azoles, echinocandins, polyenes, allylamines and others.
