The global caspofungin market was valued at US$ 484.60 Mn in 2018 and is anticipated to reach US$ 496.20 Mn by 2027, expanding at a CAGR of 0.18% from 2019 to 2027. Rise in prevalence of candidiasis, increase in usage of echinocandins, surge in disposable income in the emerging countries, and rise in awareness among people about preventive measures of various microbial diseases are factors projected to propel the global market during the forecast period.
The incidence and prevalence of invasive candidiasis are rising significantly across the world, affecting millions of people. Increase in incidence of candidaemia in ICUs has been reported in several parts of the world. According to the Extended Prevalence in Intensive Care (EPIC) II point prevalence study, Candida spp. is the third most recurrent cause of infection in ICUs across the globe, accounting for 17% of all ICU infections in culture-positive infected patients. Moreover, according to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, invasive candidiasis is one of the common health care-associated infections. Around 46,000 cases of invasive candidiasis occur each year in the U.S. Candida species are ranked fifth among hospital-acquired pathogens and fourth among nosocomial blood stream infection pathogens. Increase in incidence of invasive candidiasis is expected to be a major factor likely to boost the global caspofungin market during the forecast period.
