Drugs for complicated skin and skin structure infections (cSSSI) are medications used to treat various skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) that affect the skin and deeper soft tissues, including muscles, fascia, and subcutaneous tissues, caused by bacterial species. Effective management of these infections is essential to prevent complications and improve patient outcomes.
The main types of active ingredients in drugs for complicated skin and skin structure infections include delafloxacin, vancomycin, ceftaroline fosamil, linezolid, and others. Delafloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic used to treat skin and skin structure infections caused by specific bacteria. These drugs can be administered orally, topically, or parenterally and are used by end users such as hospitals, home care providers, specialty clinics, and others.
Tariffs have influenced the complicated skin and skin structure infections drugs market by increasing the cost of imported active pharmaceutical ingredients and specialized manufacturing equipment. This has affected the production and pricing of key antibiotics and parenteral formulations, particularly in regions such as North America and Europe that rely on imports from Asia. Hospital and specialty clinic segments are most impacted due to dependency on high-cost injectable therapies. However, tariffs have encouraged local manufacturing and development of cost-optimized formulations, potentially enhancing domestic supply chains and fostering innovation.
The complicated skin and skin structure infections drugs market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides complicated skin and skin structure infections drugs market statistics, including complicated skin and skin structure infections drugs industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a complicated skin and skin structure infections drugs market share, detailed complicated skin and skin structure infections drugs market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the complicated skin and skin structure infections drugs industry. This complicated skin and skin structure infections drugs market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The complicated skin and skin structure infections drugs market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $10.36 billion in 2025 to $11.31 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to high incidence of bacterial skin infections, growing awareness of healthcare-associated infections, increased hospital admissions due to csssi, adoption of intravenous antibiotic therapy, availability of generic antibiotics.
The complicated skin and skin structure infections drugs market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $16.61 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria, advancements in targeted antibiotic therapies, integration of digital health for infection management, rising demand for outpatient treatment options, expansion of biologics and novel antimicrobial agents. Major trends in the forecast period include rising prevalence of antibiotic-resistant skin infections, development of novel antibiotics for deep tissue infections, adoption of advanced drug delivery systems, increasing hospitalization and outpatient care for csssi, focus on patient-centric therapeutic regimens.
The increasing prevalence of skin disease is expected to drive the growth of the complicated skin and skin structure infections (cSSSI) drugs market going forward. Skin diseases are medical conditions that affect the appearance, structure, and function of the skin, and can also involve hair, nails, and related tissues. Various antibiotic drugs are used to treat resistant bacteria in cSSSI. As a result, the rise in skin disease cases can lead to new cSSSI drug approvals, increase awareness, and encourage early diagnosis of complicated skin and skin structure infections. For instance, in February 2023, according to Cancer Research UK, a UK-based cancer research organization, the average number of new melanoma cases each year in the UK is expected to rise from approximately 20,800 cases in 2023-2025 to around 26,500 cases in 2038-2040. This represents a projected 9% increase in melanoma incidence rates, reaching 33 cases per 100,000 people annually by 2038-2040. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of skin disease is driving the growth of the complicated skin and skin structure infections drugs market.
Major companies operating in the complicated skin and skin structure infections drugs market are focusing on developing innovative products, such as dalbavancin, to gain a competitive edge. Dalbavancin is a second-generation semi-synthetic lipoglycopeptide antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, effectively killing gram-positive bacteria, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), making it useful in treating acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI). For instance, in January 2023, AbbVie Inc., a US-based pharmaceutical company, announced the expansion of Xydalba (dalbavancin for injection) approval for pediatric patients across Europe. Xydalba is an intravenous therapy indicated for acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections in adults and children from three months of age. Its features include a long half-life that allows infrequent dosing, potent activity against resistant gram-positive pathogens, and a favorable safety profile, supporting clinicians in managing complicated infections efficiently.
In September 2023, Novo Holdings, a Denmark-based investment firm, acquired Paratek Pharmaceuticals Inc. for $462 million. Through this acquisition, Novo Holdings aimed to advance its antimicrobial-resistance (AMR) strategy and secure in-market assets targeting acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI), thereby strengthening its presence in the high-priority anti-infective drugs sector. Paratek Pharmaceuticals is a US-based pharmaceutical company specializing in drugs such as NUZYRA (omadacycline), approved for the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections in adults.
