U.S. Antibiotics Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Action Mechanism, By Type, By Drug Class, And Segment Forecasts, 2025 - 2030
U.S. Antibiotics Market Summary
The U.S. antibiotics market size was estimated at USD 13.77 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 16.46 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 3.0% from 2025 to 2030. The growing prevalence of infectious diseases is a major factor contributing to market growth.
The increasing prevalence of infections in the elderly and chronically ill significantly drives the U.S. antibiotics market. In 2024, over 60 million Americans were aged 65 or older, a demographic highly susceptible to infections like pneumonia, UTIs, and sepsis. In addition to that, the rising incidence of chronic conditions such as diabetes, cancer, and COPD compromises immune systems, leading to a greater need for antibiotics. According to CDC, nearly 60% of U.S. adults have at least one chronic disease, further expanding the patient base requiring antibiotic treatment.
The increasing number of surgical procedures and advanced medical interventions significantly contribute to the demand for antibiotics in the U.S. market. Procedures such as organ transplants, cancer treatments, and orthopedic surgeries often carry a high risk of post-operative infections, making preventive and therapeutic antibiotics essential. Hospitals and outpatient facilities depend on effective antibiotic regimens to reduce complications and improve patient recovery. As access to these procedures expands, antibiotics play an even more critical role in ensuring positive patient outcomes, solidifying their position as a vital part of modern medical care.
The U.S. antibiotics market is growing due to cutting-edge R&D, substantial healthcare spending, and a strong emphasis on innovation. The country leads globally in developing next-generation antibiotics to counter AMR, supported by policies such as the Generating Antibiotic Incentives Now (GAIN) Act of 2012, which provides incentives such as extended exclusivity periods. A notable instance is the collaboration between Merck and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) in 2023 to develop novel antibiotics targeting multidrug-resistant bacteria.
