by The bacteriophage therapy market is increasingly gaining traction as an effective alternative to conventional antibiotics owing to the rising threat of antibiotic resistance. Bacteriophage therapy involves the use of bacteriophages or bacterial viruses that can infect and destroy specific bacterial pathogens without harming human hosts. It is a natural and targeted approach to treat bacterial infections. Traditionally used in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, phage therapy offers several advantages over antibiotics such as high strain-specificity, self-replication at the site of infection, and ability to eliminate pathogenic bacteria without disrupting normal microbiota. With the emergence of multidrug-resistant strains of bacteria, bacteriophage therapy is being extensively researched as a potential solution to treat a wide range of bacterial diseases including foodborne illnesses, nosocomial infections, respiratory infections and more.
The global Bacteriophage Therapy Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 1,280.9 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 3.7% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
One of the prominent trends in the bacteriophage therapy market is the increasing focus on research. Several researchers and companies are engaged in developing effective bacteriophage-based therapies and products. For instance, Armata Pharmaceuticals is developing a new drug candidate AP-PA02 to treat patients with severe Staph aureus infections including bacteremia and pneumonia. Similarly, Phagelux Inc. is developing phage cocktails to treat burn wound infections. Research is also ongoing to develop more targeted phage therapies to combat specific antibiotic-resistant infections. Another key trend is the growing interest from venture capital firms and investments in bacteriophage therapy startups. This is expected to accelerate research activities in this area and facilitate the development of novel phage-based products.
