Sales of drugs to treat or prevent infectious diseases are growing at around 17% year on year in Australia and Russia, at double the rate of the next fastest-growing market, India. All these three fast-growing markets are small, however, adding up to only 3.5% of the global total in 2016, while the growth in the large markets of the USA and China averages out at only 3.3%.

Infectious diseases are disorders caused by pathogenic organisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites. These diseases can be transmitted or spread from one person to another through direct or indirect contact or indirect contact. Anti-infective drugs are used to treat or prevent these infectious diseases by inhibiting the spread of an infectious agent (static) or by killing the infectious agent (cidal). The main anti-infective drugs include antibiotics, antifungals, antimalarial agents, antituberculosis agents, antiviral agents, penicillins, sulfonamides and tetracyclines.

In the developed world, the incidence of the major kinds of lethal infectious illness has been subtantially reduced despite periodic viral epidemics such as 'flu and the recent return of tuberculosis affecting small numbers of patients. That helps explain the low rate of growth of the anti-infective drugs market in the USA. In the less developed world, fatal diseases such as malaria still have high prevalence, while typhoid is a continuing threat in areas with poor water quality and sanitation. This helps account for high market growth rates in India and (Asiatic) Russia. Climatic conditions can encourage fungal and bacterial illness, an effect seen in parts of Australia.
