CM is a leading cause of meningitis-related mortality in low- and middle-income countries, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. Despite antifungal therapy, mortality rates remain high (30-60%), creating an urgent need for better diagnostics, affordable therapies, and global healthcare interventions.
The global market is expanding due to rising HIV prevalence, antifungal drug innovation, and international funding initiatives for infectious diseases.
Market Overview
• Market Size (2024): USD 420 million
• Forecast (2034): USD 780 million
• CAGR (2025-2034): 6.4%
Growth is fueled by HIV-driven disease burden, antifungal therapy adoption, and improved diagnostic testing availability.
Key Highlights:
• An estimated 180,000 deaths annually are attributed to CM, mostly in low-resource regions.
• Current therapies include amphotericin B, flucytosine, and fluconazole.
• Point-of-care cryptococcal antigen (CrAg) tests improving early detection.
