Market Overview

The growing prevalence of multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacterial infections in hospitals and intensive care units is attracting attention to the South Korean polymyxin market. In contemporary therapy, polymyxins, especially polymyxin B and colistin, are essential as they are used as the final-resort antibiotic drugs when other treatments have failed. Adoption of adoption is inspired by an increase in hospital-diarrhoeal infections, an increase in antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and a strong requirement for efficient antibiotic stewardship initiatives. The market is also supported in tracking and managing drug-resistant diseases by the nation's strong health system and government programs. Prolonged demand, however, safe research may affect safe and less harmful options.

Driving Factors

The increased incidence of bacterial illnesses that are resistant to many drugs has led to a high demand for last-line antibiotics like polymyxins. When traditional antibiotics are no longer effective in treating serious infections, South Korean hospitals turn to polymyxin treatment. The government's emphasis on surveillance and improved infection control strategies to address antimicrobial resistance is also encouraging the use of these medications in clinical settings.

Restraining Factors

Polymyxin's high risk of neurotoxicity and nephrotoxicity frequently restricts its administration. Strict antibiotic stewardship regulations in South Korea deter excessive use of last-resort medications, while the development of new-generation antibiotics and alternative therapy lessens reliance on polymyxins.

Market Segmentation

The South Korea polymixin market share is classified by product type and application

• The polymyxin B segment held the largest market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

The South Korea polymyxin market is segmented by product type into polymyxin B, polymyxin E. Among these, the polymyxin B segment held the largest share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.
