Global Vaccines Market - 2022-2029

Market Overview

Vaccines Market size was valued at US$ xx million in 2021 and is estimated to reach US$ XX million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period (2022-2029).

A vaccine is a type of medicine that trains the body's immune system to fight diseases it has not come into contact with before. Vaccines are developed to prevent disease; when patients are immune to a disease, they are protected against it. Most vaccines are given intravenously, but some are given orally or nasally.

Market Dynamics

The vaccines market growth is driven by the rise in prevalence of different diseases such as tuberculosis, infectious diseases such as COVID-19, rising adoption of vaccines to prevent diseases, an increase in the geriatric population, and research and development activities.

The rising development of vaccines is expected to drive the market growth

The rising number of patients with different diseases, such as tuberculosis and infectious diseases, is expected to boost the market over the forecast period. As the article published in Immunization in 2020, most vaccines used nowadays have been developed by different methods, such as the live-attenuated method. Due to the advancement of the techniques of vaccine development, especially recombinant techniques. For instance, available hepatitis B vaccines are currently produced by cloning the HBsAg gene into yeast, leading to the synthesis of HBsAg within the yeast cell. Also, new technologies include the use of nucleic acids, which encode critical antigens. The combination of DNA injection with the administration of protein at a later point in time leads to the production of antigens without the risk of producing whole infectious organisms.

In addition, with the breakdown of infectious diseases, the market players are engaged in new product development and launching vaccines. For instance, in July 2021, GSK received US FDA approval for Shingrix (Zoster Vaccine Recombinant, Adjuvanted) for the prevention of shingles (herpes zoster) in adults aged 18 years and older who are or will be at increased risk of shingles due to immunodeficiency or immunosuppression caused by known disease or therapy. Also, in June 2021, Merck launched the VAXELIS (Diphtheria and Tetanus Toxoids and Acellular Pertussis, Inactivated Poliovirus, Haemophilus b Conjugate and Hepatitis B Vaccine) in the United States, developed in partnership with Sanofi Pasteur.

The side effects of vaccines will hamper the growth of the market

However, the side effects of vaccines vary with different vaccines. For instance, after DTaP vaccination, the side effects include soreness or swelling where the shot was given, fever, fussiness, loss of appetite, tiredness, and vomiting. In the case of Influenza live vaccine, vomiting, muscle aches, fever, sore throat, and cough are other possible side effects. These side effects are limiting the market growth.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The appearance of COVID-19 positively impacted the global vaccines market. To prevent the coronavirus infection, the key players are started the research and development of vaccines for COVID-19. While developing a vaccine, industries have to follow the protocol, which is quite difficult. As per the data of the CDC July 2022 report, a novel vaccine's introduction to the public involves several processes, including vaccine development, clinical testing, permission or approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), production, and distribution.

In addition, numerous public and private institutions have collaborated to make COVID-19 vaccinations accessible to the general public. For instance, in April 2020, AstraZeneca and the University of Oxford collaborated on the global development and distribution of the University's potential recombinant adenovirus vaccine aimed at preventing COVID-19 infection from SARS-CoV-2. Also, in December 2020, COVAXIN India's indigenous COVID-19 vaccine by Bharat Biotech was developed in collaboration with the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) - National Institute of Virology (NIV).

In addition, as of January 2022, there are around 137 COVID-19 vaccine candidates undergoing clinical trials and 194 candidates in pre-clinical development worldwide. Overall the impact of COVID-19 positively affected the vaccine market.

Segment Analysis

The COVID-19 disease segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period (2022-2029)

The COVID-19 disease segment is expected to boost the market over the period of the forecast. Due to the outbreak of coronavirus infection, more patients were getting infected by the COVID-19 infection, which opens the opportunity for the market players to develop a new drug and help to minimize the infection worldwide. For instance, in January 2022, Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech SE started a clinical study to evaluate the safety, immunogenicity, and tolerability of an Omicron-based vaccine candidate in adults aged 18 to 55. Also, in December 2021, the Serum Institute of India (SII) declared its plan to launch a COVID vaccine for children in the coming six months. This product launch will benefit the company's business performance.

Moreover, some market players are adopting collaboration and acquisition market strategies to expand their business. For instance, in June 2020, Merck acquired the Themis for the development of a measles vector-based COVID-19 vaccine. This has stimulated the vaccine development potential with the addition of new technology and expertise.

Geographical Analysis

North America region holds the largest market share of the global vaccines market

North America dominates the market for vaccines and is expected to show a similar trend over the forecast period. It is estimated to hold a significant market size over the forecast period (2022-2029) owing to the increased population with disease, advanced healthcare system, growing geriatric population, research and development activities and a large number of biotechnological companies. Development of products and approval of vaccine products drives the market in the North American region. In July 2022, the US Food and Drug Administration issued an emergency use authorization for NVX-CoV2373 (Novavax COVID-19 vaccine) for individuals aged 12 years or older, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention subsequently suggested it as an option for COVID-19 vaccination.

Moreover, the market players are applying different market strategies such as product launching and collaboration. For instance, in April 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Sanofi's MenQuadfi vaccine for the prevention of invasive meningococcal diseases in persons aged 2 years and older. Also, in 2021, MSD Pharmaceuticals, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Merck Sharp & Dohme, launched "Gardasil 9", India's first gender-neutral HPV vaccine.
