Pneumonia is a common lung infection caused by a variety of microorganisms such as bacteria, virus, fungi and parasites. In pneumonia the air sacs of lungs that are known as alveoli are filled with fluid or pus causing inflammation. The common symptoms of pneumonia are cough with phlegm, sneezing, sore throat, chills, fever and trouble in breathing. Pneumonia is usually a mild disease but under certain situations can be lethal.

The global market for pneumonia is segmented broadly into treatment drugs and prevention vaccines market. Usually antibiotics used to treat pneumonia include cephalosporins, penicillin, tetracyclines, fluoroquinolones, amoxicillin, clavulanic acid and vancomycin. Earlier, penicillin was widely used to treat pneumonia caused by bacteria pnemococcal pneumonia but due to wide spread use of broad spectrum antibiotics has resulted into significant drug resistance. Penicillin is still used but only after confirming the sensitivity of the bacteria towards this antibiotic. Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine such as PCV13 and pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccines such as PPV23 and Pneumovax are used to prevent pneumococcal diseases. The major players operating in this market are Sanofi, Eli Lilly, AstraZeneca, Merck & Co. Novartis, GlaxoSmithCline, Pfizer and Baxter International Inc.
The market for pneumonia drugs and vaccines is expected to grow under the impact of drivers such as increasing aging population as aging population are more susceptible to developing pneumonia and increasing prevalence of pneumonia among children.
