The cephalosporins are a family of bactericidal antibiotics structurally related to penicillin which were first derived from the fungus, Cephalosporum acremonium. Their basic structure is similar to penicillin with a thiazolidine and beta-lactam ring, which has a variable side chain. Cephalosporins are indicated for infections with susceptible organisms of various tissues and organs. Cephalosporins have variable oral absorption and many must be given parenterally. They have a broader activity than the standard penicillins but are also sensitive to some extent to beta-lactamase. Five generations of cephalosporins have been developed with varying antibacterial activity. Cephalosporins are mainly designated for prophylaxis as well as treatment of infections caused by bacteria. First-generation cephalosporins are active mainly against gram-positive bacteria, such as Streptococcus and Staphylococcus. Hence, they are used primarily for soft tissue and skin infections as well as to prevent hospital-acquired surgical infections.
The global cephalosporin market is experiencing growth, owing to a surge in the prevalence of infectious diseases, an increase in R&D activities for the development of combination drugs, and a rise in funding for the development of antibiotics. Common adverse drug reactions associated with cephalosporin therapy include diarrhea, nausea, rash, electrolyte disturbances, and pain and inflammation at the injection site. Cephalosporins share a molecular similarity with Penicillins, and so might lead to an allergic reaction in people who are allergic to Penicillins. Depending on the severity of your penicillin allergy, you may still be able to take cephalosporins, but most likely not first- or second-generation drugs. Their differences in activity relate to the range of penicillin-binding proteins that they inhibit. They have a broader activity than the standard penicillins but are also sensitive to some extent to beta-lactamase.
Cephalosporins are a class of antibiotics that are widely used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. The increase in infectious diseases can be attributed to various factors. The increasing incidence of these infections, particularly in densely populated and developing regions, necessitates the demand for effective antibiotics. The World Health Organization (WHO) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report rising cases of bacterial infections, thereby fueling the growth of the cephalosporin market. As more people live near each other and travel frequently, the risk of infection transmission is heightened. This has led to a competitive market landscape, with a wide range of cephalosporin products available to healthcare providers. This demand is further amplified by the growing awareness among people regarding health and hygiene, which leads to early diagnosis and treatment of such infections.
The increase in hospitals, clinics, and healthcare centers, coupled with improved diagnostic facilities, enables more effective treatment of bacterial infections. This expansion is not only limited to urban areas but also extends to rural regions, thereby increasing the reach of effective antibiotics like cephalosporins. The expansion of healthcare infrastructure globally is a major factor contributing to the growth of the cephalosporin market. Improving healthcare facilities, especially in emerging economies, leads to better access to medical treatments and antibiotics. The growing healthcare sector directly correlates with the increased demand for cephalosporins, as they are essential in treating various bacterial infections.

COVID-19 is an incomparable global health emergency that has affected almost every industry, so far, the long-term effects are projected to impact industry growth during the forecast period. Insights on COVID-19 considering the changes in consumer behavior and demand, purchasing patterns, re-routing of the supply chain, dynamics of current market forces, and the significant interventions of governments. Production was also impacted by a lack of coordination between different levels of administration, as evidenced by the fact that while drug production was permitted to continue, production and transport of ancillary supplies such as bottles and caps were not allowed. Production also suffered because the ban on public transportation prevented laborers and trucks carrying coal from reaching manufacturing plants. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, in the short run, pharma importers in the global market will suffer due to supply-chain disruptions, increase in input costs, and logistical challenges, while exporters will suffer because of trade restrictions. However, there is a fair chance of Indian companies (especially those focused on drug export) overcoming these challenges as the pandemic passes because demand remains robust.
• For instance, Almost 4.5-5% of April-January FY20 is actual loss due to COVID-19, which is US$ 776-866 million when extrapolated to normal circumstances.
(Source:https://www.cgdev.org/sites/default/files/essential-medicines-supply-chains-press-scan-India-manufacturing.pdf)
• For instance, In Feb 2020, Pharma companies reported they have stocks that will last till mid-February. However, if [the lockdown in China] goes beyond that, 70% of industry will be impacted.

According to cognitive market research, the skin infection segment holds the dominant share in the market. Cephalosporin antibiotics treat a variety of bacterial infections. Some infections that cephalosporins can be used to treat include respiratory tract infections, otitis media (middle ear infection), strep throat, skin infections, skin structure infections, bone infections, and urinary tract infections. Cephalosporins work by preventing bacteria from making cell walls. Stopping cell wall synthesis causes the bacteria to die. Cephalosporins are similar to penicillin. All drugs in the cephalosporin class are approved by the FDA (United States Food and Drug Administration) and are available as prescription drugs. Additionally, the growing demand for effective and affordable antibiotics, especially in developing countries, is driving the growth of the respiratory tract segment. Furthermore, the adoption of combination therapies using cephalosporins and other antibiotics for the treatment of respiratory tract infections is also driving the growth of this segment. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a prevalent health concern, especially among women. Cephalosporin antibiotics are used to treat complicated UTIs caused by multi-drug-resistant bacteria. Cephalosporin antibiotics play a crucial role in the treatment of certain sexually transmitted infections (STIs) like gonorrhea.

According to cognitive market research, the Third-generation cephalosporins segment holds the dominant share in the market. Third-generation cephalosporins are more effective against gram-negative bacteria than the first and second generations. They are usually effective against bacteria that may be resistant to previous generations of cephalosporins. Cephalosporins have beta-lactam rings that bind with penicillin-binding proteins and block them. The cross-linking of peptidoglycans is then hampered, and the cell wall is not formed, resulting in the death of the bacterial cell. This segment includes antibiotics like ceftriaxone and cefotaxime, which are widely used in the treatment of severe infections such as pneumonia, meningitis, and complicated intra-abdominal infections
• For instance, In June 2022, Shionogi & Co., Ltd. and the Global Antibiotic Research and Development Partnership entered into a collaborative agreement with the Clinton Health Access Initiative to expand access to Cefiderocol antibiotics for the treatment of serious gram-negative bacterial infections.
(Source:https://www.shionogi.com/global/en/news/2022/06/e220615.html)
According to cognitive market research, the oral segment holds the dominant share in the market. Cephalosporins are one of the most widely prescribed classes of medications in the world. First-generation cephalosporins come in oral and intravenous forms. They are active against Viridans streptococci, group A hemolytic streptococci, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella and Proteus bacteria. While intravenous medications may be more bioavailable and have greater effects, some oral drugs produce serum levels comparable to those of the parenteral form. Oral cephalosporins are prescribed for a wide range of less severe bacterial infections, including respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, and skin and soft tissue infections.
• For instance, Pfizer has also acquired rights to 12 sterile injectable products in the United States and Europe. These medicines are antibiotics including penicillins and cephalosporins.
