The report provides an in-depth assessment of the HIVs market including disease overview, epidemiology, disease management, current treatment options, unmet needs and opportunities, R&D strategies, pipeline assessment, current and future players, and market outlook.
Over four decades ago, researchers identified the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) as the causative agent of a then-mysterious new illness, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). A member of the Lentivirus genus, HIV belongs to the family of retroviruses, RNA viruses with the ability to reverse transcribe their single-stranded RNA genome into double-stranded DNA and integrate it into the host's genome (Barre-Sinoussi et al., 1983; Gallo et al., 1983; McCutchan et al., 1996). Since the start of the epidemic, around 88.4 million people have become infected, and 42.3 million have died from AIDS-related illnesses (UNAIDS, 2024). In the decades since the approval of the first antiretroviral therapy (ART)-GlaxoSmithKline's (GSK's) Retrovir (azidothymidine) in 1987-the HIV market has become highly competitive, with a wide range of options now available for both treatment and prophylaxis of HIV. This includes the availability of once-daily, single-tablet regimens (STRs) for HIV treatment such as Gilead's Biktarvy (bictegravir/emtricitabine/TAF) and Genvoya (elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/TAF), as well as long-acting injectables including Gilead's Sunlenca (lenacapavir) for the treatment of multidrug-resistant HIV and GSK's Apretude (cabotegravir) for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP).
GlobalData projects the global HIV marketplace-which, for the purposes of this report, comprises seven major pharmaceutical markets (7MM: the US, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the UK, and Japan)-to experience modest growth during the forecast period. The report covers only HIV-1 because the strain is responsible for the majority of diagnosed prevalent cases of HIV in the 7MM. Furthermore, HIV-2 infections are mainly reported in sub-Saharan African countries, which are not included in the scope of this report.
The model covers the market forecast for marketed products and Phase III pipeline products. The base year of this model is 2023, and the forecast period is 2023-33.
