Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Market Size

Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Market size was valued at USD 5.9 billion in 2023 and is estimated to expand at around 5.8% CAGR from 2024 to 2032. Antimicrobial resistance surveillance refers to the systematic and ongoing monitoring of the prevalence and patterns of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in various pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. This surveillance is crucial for understanding how resistant these pathogens are to the drugs that are typically used to treat infections they cause.

The rising incidence of antimicrobial resistance has become a significant public health concern globally. For instance, according to the LANCET, antimicrobial resistance contributes to about 7,00,000 deaths annually, and without effective intervention these are projected to cause 10 million deaths by 2050. Thus, as the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance continue to rise, there is a growing demand for effective strategies in managing and addressing this issue, including advanced measures for surveillance, prevention, and appropriate use of antimicrobial agents.
 

Additionally, rising awareness and screening programs, increasing prevalence of infectious diseases, growing infectious disease diagnostics which is estimated to reach USD 40 billion by 2032, and advancements in screening technologies, are among other contributing factors escalating the growth of the market.
 

Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Market Trends

The increasing prevalence of infectious diseases is a significant driver for the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance industry. As, infectious diseases become more prevalent, there is a greater need for effective treatment. This often leads to increased use of antimicrobial drugs, leading to the likelihood of the development of antimicrobial resistance.
 

  • For instance, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the number of visits to physician offices for infectious and parasitic diseases increased to 10.2 million.
     
  • Further, infectious diseases with antimicrobial-resistant strains pose a significant public health threat. They can spread more easily and widely, leading to outbreaks and even pandemics. Thus, surveillance is crucial for detecting these resistant strains early, allowing for timely responses such as targeted interventions and infection control measures.
     
  • Moreover, antimicrobial resistance increases the economic burden on healthcare systems. As, treating infections with resistant strains often requires more expensive and complex therapies, and molecular diagnostics. Therefore, surveillance helps in optimizing treatment regimens, reducing unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions, and ultimately saving healthcare costs, thereby augmenting the market growth.

Based on application, the antimicrobial resistance surveillance market is classified into public health surveillance, laboratory surveillance, clinical diagnostics, and other applications. The clinical diagnostics segment held over USD 2.4 billion revenue in 2023.
 

  • Clinical diagnostics are directly tied to patient care. With the rise of antimicrobial resistance, it has become crucial to identify resistant pathogens early. Consequently, it can quickly detect the presence of resistant strains and help guide physicians in prescribing appropriate antimicrobial therapy, reducing the risk of treatment failure.
     
  • Furthermore, these diagnostic techniques include various tests, such as culture-based methods, molecular assays, and susceptibility testing, which enable the identification of specific pathogens and their resistance patterns to antimicrobial agents.
     
  • Moreover, clinical diagnostics are essential for effective surveillance, as it support the efforts to combat antimicrobial resistance, and preserve the efficacy of antimicrobial agents for patient care, thereby escalating the segmental growth.
     

Based on end-use, the antimicrobial resistance surveillance market is segmented into hospitals, clinics, research & academic institutes, and other end-users. The hospitals segment accounted for 45.7% of the market share in 2023.
 

  • Hospitals play a crucial role in antimicrobial surveillance as they serve as key sites for monitoring and managing antimicrobial resistance within healthcare settings.
     
  • Furthermore, hospitals track changes in resistance patterns over time, allowing for the early detection of emerging threats and the identification of high-risk areas or patient populations.
     
  • Moreover, by guiding treatment decisions, implementing stewardship programs, and enhancing infection control measures, hospitals contribute significantly to efforts aimed at combating antimicrobial resistance and safeguarding patient care, and thus, fostering the growth of the market.
