Antifungal drugs are medications that selectively eliminate fungal infections from the host. These fungal agents multiply by spreading spores that subsequently lead to infection on skin, hairs, vagina, and other body parts. The fungal infection causes candidiasis, fungal pneumonia, mucormycosis, and other diseases. The antifungal drugs market is continuously growing and evolving owing to robust developmental efforts made by researchers and market players in the field.

The growth in prevalence of fungal infection, rise in awareness levels pertaining to myriad fungal infections, and increase in demands of generic drugs are the major factors that drive the market growth. However, patent expiration of branded therapeutics and presence of counterfeit drugs restrain the growth of the antifungal drugs market. In addition, increase in R&D expenditure coupled with funding from the public & private sector is expected to provide lucrative growth opportunities to the antifungal drugs market.

The systemic antifungals segment is anticipated to maintain its dominance during the forecast period, accounting for about fifth-sevenths share of the global antifungal drugs market in 2016. This is due to the high usage of drugs such as azole for all the fungal indications and these also offer broad spectrum activity and improved safety levels. In addition, rise in prevalence of most commonly occurring systematic fungal infection such as candidiasis supplements the market growth. However, the superficial antifungals are expected to grow rapidly throughout the forecast period. This is because of the growth in incidence of hospital-acquired infections and increase in life expectancy among people.
