Candidiasis Drugs Market Analysis

The market is segmented by disease type into oral, vaginal, cutaneous, invasive, and others, out of which, the vaginal segment is anticipated to hold the notable share in the global candidiasis drugs market over the forecast period on the back of the increasing cases of vaginal candidiasis, backed by lack of sexual health awareness and hygiene amongst individuals, especially in the middle and low-income countries. According to the data by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 20% women who have candida in the vagina, do not notice any symptoms.

Vaginal candidiasis is not a sexually transmitted disease. It is caused due to poor hygiene, hot and humid environment around the vulva, sharing toilets, and even due to drinking less amount of water. Mild infections are often overlooked, due to the embarrassment and taboo associated with diseases in the private parts, resulting in severe infection and even hospitalization. This is a major factor expected to drive the segment growth. Pregnancy and hormonal contraceptives are also a major cause of candidiasis in the vagina.
