Market Overview

Antibiotics are medications that are used to treat and prevent bacterial infections by either killing the bacteria or inhibiting their growth and multiplication. They can be administered in various ways, such as orally, topically, through injection, or intravenously (IV). In Germany, the volume of antibiotics prescribed by dentists has remained constant over the past decade. The most frequently prescribed antibiotics by dentists are penicillins and aminopenicillins, followed by clindamycin. It is worth noting that 85% of antibiotics in Germany are prescribed during primary care consultations, and there is potential to reduce the prescribing rates for certain conditions. In Germany, most medications can only be obtained with a doctor's prescription, and pharmacies will not dispense antibiotics without one. To encourage the development of new antimicrobials, Germany has introduced a pull incentive that exempts new antimicrobials from certain aspects of health technology benefit assessments and reference pricing. Additionally, the German antibiotics market is driven by several factors. Primarily, as the population grows and ages, the need for antibiotics increases due to the rise in infectious diseases.

Driving Factors

The Germany antibiotics market is influenced by several factors. Biotechnology and pharmaceutical research have resulted in the development of more effective antibiotics with fewer side effects. Governments are promoting appropriate antibiotic use and addressing antibiotic resistance through campaigns, regulatory changes, and support for research and development. The veterinary antibiotics market is expected to expand due to the increasing number of pets and livestock, as well as growing awareness of animal health. Pharmaceutical companies are creating combination medicines to treat antibiotic-resistant illnesses. The generic antibiotics segment is dominant due to the affordability of generic formulations, the large number of manufacturers, and a supportive regulatory framework.

Restraining Factors

The Germany antibiotic market is facing several restraining factors, including a major public health issue in which bacteria become resistant to antibiotics that were meant to kill them. Antibiotic resistance can lead to longer hospital stays, higher medical costs, and increased mortality. The approval process for antibiotics can be rigorous and costly.

Market Segmentation

The Germany antibiotics market share is classified into drug class and action mechanism.

• The penicillin segment is expected to hold the largest market share through the forecast period.

The Germany antibiotics market is segmented by drug class into cephalosporin, penicillin, fluoroquinolone, macrolides, carbapenems, aminoglycosides, sulfonamides, 7-ACA, and others. Among these, the penicillin segment is expected to hold the largest market share through the forecast period. Penicillin was the first class of drug to be discovered and is still widely used to treat various infections, especially those caused by staphylococci, streptococci, clostridium, and listeria. These drugs work by either inhibiting cell wall synthesis or preventing the formation of the peptidoglycan layer. They are commonly used as the first line of treatment for infections such as pharyngitis, skin infections, bronchial cough, gonorrhea, and ear fungus.

• The cell wall synthesis inhibitors segment is expected to dominate the Germany antibiotics market during the forecast period.       

Based on the action mechanism, the Germany antibiotics market is divided into cell wall synthesis inhibitors, protein synthesis inhibitors, DNA synthesis inhibitors, RNA synthesis inhibitors, mycolic acid inhibitors, and others. Among these, the cell wall synthesis inhibitors segment is expected to dominate the Germany antibiotics market during the forecast period. Cell wall synthesis inhibitors are a type of widely used antibiotics that have a broad-spectrum action against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. These antibiotics work by hindering the synthesis of the peptidoglycan layer, which is essential for the structural integrity of the bacterial cell wall. Examples of drugs in this category include cephalosporin, penicillin, carbapenems, and others.
