Antifungal drugs, or antimycotic drugs, refer to the pharmaceutical medicines used for the treatment of fungal infections on skin, hair and nails. Some of the commonly used antifungal drugs include polyenes, azoles and allylamines. They specifically neutralize fungal agents and dermatophytes, such as candida and tapeworms, and aid in the treatment of athlete’s foot, ringworm, aspergillosis, candidiasis and fungal meningitis. These drugs are commonly available in over the counter (OTC) capsule, gel, liquid and pill variants or intravenous solutions that are injected directly into the bloodstream to minimize and prevent fungal infection.
The increasing prevalence of fungal and nosocomial infections is one of the key factors creating a positive outlook for the market growth. Antifungal drugs are effective against both systemic and superficial infections that are acquired from exposure to contaminated surfaces in hospitals or humid conditions. Moreover, the convenient availability of OTC drugs in both urban and rural areas is providing a thrust to the market growth. With the rising health consciousness among the masses, consumers are increasingly opting for OTC therapeutics to timely treat minor infections.
Additionally, various product innovations, such as the development of synthetic and semi-synthetic azole-based compounds for the treatment of invasive fungal infections, are acting as other growth-inducing factors. Pharmaceutical manufacturers are also investing extensively in the research and development (R&D) of novel therapeutics in the form of sprays, creams, tablets and injections with enhanced efficacy. Other factors, including significant growth in the pharmaceutical industry, along with the implementation of favorable government policies promoting public health, are anticipated to drive the market toward growth.
