Rising prevalence of urinary tract infections such as bladder infection, kidney infection or urethra infection, etc., and rising cases of uncomplicated urinary tract infection, are expected to boost demand for Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) treatment. Unhealthy lifestyles and high consumption of alcohol trigger chronic kidney diseases such as renal failure and bladder cancer, and this is driving kidney infection treatment demand.
Also, physicians’ preference for antibiotics for any kind of urinary tract infection is driving the antibiotics market. Collaboration of major players with research institutes are complimenting market growth by giving more treatment options for UTI treatment.
Beside antibiotics as the first line treatment for urinary tract infection, patients are looking for surgery and stimulation therapy for fast recovery. This creates demand for alternative therapies for UTI, which include a set of healthcare and medical systems and practices and products that are usually not considered to be the part of mainstream medicines, such as taking natural and herbal medicines for UTI.
Rising hospitalization rates for UTI, increasing geriatric population, and growing drug resistance are driving the interstitial cystitis market, which basically includes treatment for the chronic conditions called interstitial cystitis, and causes pain due to bladder pressure, and sometimes pelvic pain.
Driven by this, the global UTI infection medicine market is expected to rise at 2.1% CAGR through 2031.
Adverse effects of antibiotics are expected to hamper the urinary tract infection therapeutics market growth in the years ahead. UTI is treated with a vast range of antibiotics. However, these antibiotics have one or more adverse effects such as tendon problems, muscle weakness, allergic reactions, central nervous system-related problems, etc.
These problems can be more serious in the geriatric population, pregnant women, and children where the prevalence of UTI is higher. Additionally, continuous mutation of bacteria for existing drugs also declines market growth for UTI infection medicines to some extent for urinary tract infection treatment.
