Cryptococcosis Market to Reach USD 9.8 Billion by 2034, Growing at 5.9% CAGR

Introduction
Cryptococcosis is a serious opportunistic fungal infection caused by Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii. It primarily affects immunocompromised individuals, especially those with HIV/AIDS, organ transplant recipients, and patients undergoing immunosuppressive therapies. Despite being preventable and treatable, cryptococcosis continues to pose a significant global health burden, particularly in low- and middle-income countries where HIV prevalence is high.

Current treatment relies on antifungal agents such as amphotericin B, flucytosine, and fluconazole. However, limitations such as drug resistance, toxicity, and lack of access to antifungal therapies in developing regions highlight the need for improved treatments. Advances in antifungal research, diagnostic innovations, and global initiatives targeting HIV-associated infections are reshaping the market outlook.
In 2024, the global cryptococcosis market is valued at USD 5.6 billion and is projected to reach USD 9.8 billion by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 5.9%.
