India Anti-Fungal Drugs Market Trends:

Rising incidence of diabetes

The high prevalence of diabetes is fueling the India anti-fungal drugs market growth. As per the information published on the official website of the National Library of Medicine, the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is increasing in India, with estimates reaching 134 million cases by 2045. Diabetic patients are more prone to fungal infections due to weakened immune systems and elevated blood sugar levels, which foster a suitable setting for fungal proliferation. Conditions like oral thrush, fungal nail infections, vaginal candidiasis, and mucormycosis (black fungus) are commonly seen in people with diabetes, driving the demand for effective anti-fungal medications. Poorly managed diabetes further raises the risk of severe and recurring fungal infections, making antifungal treatment a necessity for many patients. Additionally, the widespread use of broad-spectrum antibiotics and steroids in diabetes treatment can disrupt the body's natural microbial balance, leading to secondary fungal infections that require immediate care. The increasing awareness among diabetic patients about infection risks is encouraging the usage of both prescription and over the counter (OTC) antifungal treatments. Healthcare providers are emphasizing regular screenings for fungal infections in diabetic patients, further contributing to the market growth. As diabetes cases continue to rise, the requirement for reliable and effective antifungal drugs is rising, making it a key segment in India's pharmaceutical market.

Expanding healthcare infrastructure

The expansion of healthcare infrastructure is offering a favorable India anti-fungal drugs market outlook. Under the Indian Union Budget 2025-26, the Pradhan Mantri Ayushman Bharat Health Infrastructure Mission (PM-ABHIM), designed to enhance healthcare facilities, experienced a 31.3% increase in funding, from INR 3,200 crore in FY2024-25 to INR 4,200 Crore. This rise is anticipated to aid in the creation of new primary and secondary healthcare facilities, especially in neglected areas. With better medical facilities in both urban and rural areas, more people are getting diagnosed and treated for fungal infections that might have previously gone unnoticed. The rise of specialized dermatology and infectious disease clinics is also driving the demand for antifungal medications, as doctors can identify and treat conditions like ringworm, candidiasis, and mucormycosis more efficiently. Government initiatives to strengthen healthcare services, including the construction of new hospitals and the broadening of primary healthcare centers, are ensuring that antifungal treatments reach a larger population. The increasing investments in medical research and development (R&D) activities is also leading to the availability of newer and more effective antifungal drugs.

India Anti-Fungal Drugs Market News:

In August 2024, a group of researchers from Agharkar Research Institute, an independent establishment under the Indian Department of Science & Technology (DST), utilized a chitin synthesis fungicide, Nikkomycin, derived from the bacterium Streptomyces spp. to create Nikkomycin-loaded polymeric nanoparticles. The nanoparticles loaded with drugs were shown to hinder the development of Aspergillus spp and proved effective against the fungal disease Aspergillosis caused by the fungi Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus fumigatus.
In September 2023, BDR Pharmaceutical revealed the introduction of Zisavel capsules to treat invasive aspergillosis and mucormycosis, two types of fungal infections. This drug, categorized as an azole antifungal, was available at a third of the cost of the existing treatment supplied by the original manufacturers in India.
