U.S. Antifungal Drugs Market Summary
The U.S. antifungal drugs market was estimated at USD 6.05 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 7.20 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 3.0% from 2025 to 2030. The growing incidence of fungal infections drives market expansion.
Fungal infections cover a broad range of conditions, from athlete's foot, ringworm, and vaginal yeast infections to severe systemic diseases such as candidemia, aspergillosis, and mucormycosis. The CDC identifies Candida auris and resistant Aspergillus species as serious threats, necessitating therapeutic advances and enhanced infection control. The U.S. antifungal drugs industry is mainly driven by a consistent increase in fungal infections among immunocompromised groups, such as cancer patients, transplant recipients, and individuals with HIV; a rise in ICU admissions; and the increased use of medical devices such as catheters and ventilators. This population is particularly vulnerable to invasive infections such as candidemia and aspergillosis, which require systemic antifungal treatments. Furthermore, superficial fungal infections such as onychomycosis and dermatophytosis remain widespread and frequently recur, maintaining steady demand for oral and topical antifungal medications. Surveillance data show that non-albicans Candida species cause approximately two-thirds of bloodstream infections, with 6% of isolates resistant to fluconazole and 2% of C. glabrata isolates resistant to echinocandins, highlighting the need for newer and more effective antifungal therapies.
Systemic fungal infections continue to pose a significant healthcare challenge in the U.S. Each year, more than 75,000 hospitalizations and nearly 9 million outpatient visits are attributed to fungal diseases, as per the CDC in May 2024. As per April 2024 data, ab out 25,000 cases of candidemia occur annually, with roughly one-third of patients dying during their hospital stay. Public health initiatives are steadily raising awareness of fungal diseases. The CDC's Fungal Disease Awareness Week, scheduled for September 2025, aims to promote early diagnosis and enhance resistance surveillance.
