Hospital Acquired Bacterial Infections Market to 2016

1. Hospital Acquired Bacterial Infections Market to 2016 - Increasing Antibiotic Resistance and Increasing Population of Critically Ill Patients To Drive Growth

2. The Global Hospital Acquired Bacterial Infections Market is Forecast to Show Moderate Decline In 2009, the global hospital acquired bacterial infections market was estimated to be worth $1.8 billion, representing a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 1.6% between 2001 and 2009. The market is forecast to reach $1.4 billion by 2016, indicating a negative CAGR of 2.9% between 2009 and 2016. The primary reason for the reduced growth rate is the patent expiries of major blockbusters, which are expected to decrease the annual cost of therapy after 2009. The global hospital acquired bacterial infections market is expected to witness a series of patent expiries between 2009 and 2016, which includes most of the top selling blockbuster drugs in the Urinary Tract Infections (UTI), Pneumonia, Surgical Site Infections (SSI) and Blood Stream Infections (BSI) markets. The major drugs that are set to lose patent protection include Zyvox (linezolid, 2013), Levaquin (levofloxacin, 2010), Invanz (ertapenem, 2013), Tobi (tobramycin, 2014). Acquisitions Are the Major Deal Type in the Hospital Acquired Bacterial Infections (HABI) Market Because Major Pharmaceutical Companies Are Reluctant To Invest In Anti-Bacterial R&D The M&A deals landscape from 2004–2010 suggests that acquisitions are the

3. major deal type accounting for 74% of total deals, followed by asset-transactions and mergers accounting for 13% each. This signifies that companies are reluctant to invest in anti-bacterial R&D and they prefer acquisition of companies which have developed a new molecule. There is low or zero investment in R&D for anti-bacterials by large pharmaceutical companies because of the small life-cycle of anti-bacterials as resistance is developed against them. So the investment done in R&D for anti-bacterials does not give a good return on investment Pipeline Drugs by Phase of Development The percentage of molecules in the Phase II of development accounts for 66% to the total molecules in the pipeline. This is followed by Phase I and filed molecules which accounts for 17% each to the total pipeline molecules in the pipeline for HABI.
