Global Colistin Market Remains Strategically Important Amid Rising Multidrug-Resistant Infections

According to 24Chemical Research, global colistin market was valued at USD 268.4 million in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 347.9 million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 3.7%. Market growth is driven by rising antibiotic resistance and the continued reliance on colistin as a last-resort treatment for multidrug-resistant Gram-negative infections, despite regulatory scrutiny related to emerging resistance concerns.

Market Overview & Regional Analysis

Asia-Pacific leads global colistin consumption, accounting for approximately 70% of market volume, primarily driven by livestock applications in China's massive animal husbandry sector. However, Europe and North America are witnessing renewed pharmaceutical interest in colistin sulfate formulations for hospital-acquired infections, particularly in intensive care units.

The Middle East shows substantial demand growth due to high prevalence of carbapenem-resistant infections, while Latin America maintains steady consumption through hospital formularies. Africa presents a complex scenario with both unmet medical need and limited access to quality-assured colistin products.

Key Market Drivers and Opportunities

The market continues to benefit from the alarming rise in carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) infections worldwide. Pharmaceutical-grade colistin remains a crucial option for cystic fibrosis patients combating Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In animal health, while restrictions are increasing, the antibiotic still plays a role in swine and poultry production systems.

Significant opportunities exist in developing improved delivery systems that reduce nephrotoxicity risks. Combination therapies pairing colistin with novel beta-lactamase inhibitors show particular promise. The hospital-acquired infection segment continues to drive premium pricing potential for pharmaceutical-grade products.

Challenges & Restraints

Increasing reports of plasmid-mediated colistin resistance (mcr genes) are prompting stricter regulations globally. The European Medicines Agency has classified colistin as a "reserve" antibiotic, while China has banned its use as an animal growth promoter. Manufacturing challenges persist due to the complex nature of this polypeptide antibiotic and stringent quality control requirements.

Alternative antibiotics in development and antimicrobial stewardship programs present long-term challenges to market growth. However, the slow pipeline for new Gram-negative antibiotics ensures colistin will remain strategically important for the foreseeable future.
