Synopsis
The global market for Colistin Sulphate was estimated to be worth US$ 60.8 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 49.9 million by 2031 with a CAGR of -2.5% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
Colistin, also known as polymyxin E, is an antibiotic produced by certain strains of the bacteria Paenibacillus polymyxa. Colistin is a mixture of the cyclic polypeptides colistin A and B and belongs to the class of polypeptide antibiotics known as polymyxins. Colistin is effective against most Gram-negative bacilli.
Market Driver: The Colistin Sulphate market is driven by the rising prevalence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infections, particularly those caused by Gram-negative pathogens such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii. As antibiotic resistance becomes a global health crisis, Colistin Sulphate remains one of the few effective treatment options for severe MDR infections. Additionally, its extensive use in veterinary medicine for disease prevention and treatment in livestock, especially in poultry and swine, further supports market growth. The increasing demand for livestock production to meet global food supply needs also drives the demand for Colistin Sulphate in animal husbandry.
Market Challenge: Despite its demand, the Colistin Sulphate market faces challenges due to growing concerns over antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and regulatory restrictions. Many countries have implemented strict regulations to limit its use in agriculture, particularly as a growth promoter, to combat the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. In human medicine, the potential nephrotoxicity and neurotoxicity of Colistin Sulphate pose safety concerns, leading to cautious use and the development of alternative treatments. Additionally, the emergence of colistin-resistant bacterial strains further threatens the long-term viability of the drug, prompting research into novel antimicrobial agents and alternative therapeutic strategies.
