The global respiratory syncytial virusvaccines market size is expected to reach USD 28.39 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 42.17% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. As populations age and comorbidities such as COPD, asthma, and diabetes become more prevalent, the demand for preventive measures like vaccination continues to rise. Regulatory approvals of RSV vaccines across multiple age groups have significantly expanded the addressable market. Furthermore, growing government support, including public immunization campaigns, has helped boost vaccination uptake and market penetration. The increasing global recognition of RSV as a serious public health threat underlines the importance of continued innovation and investment in this sector.
A key factor propelling market growth is the expansion of vaccine recommendations by public health authorities. In April 2025, the U.S. Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) voted to recommend RSV vaccines, including GSK's AREXVY, for adults aged 50-59 who are at elevated risk of severe RSV disease. This includes individuals with chronic conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), diabetes, heart disease, and those residing in long-term care facilities. This recommendation builds upon ACIP's earlier vote in June 2024 to advise vaccination for all adults aged 75 and older, and for those aged 60-74 with underlying health risks. These policy expansions are critical in driving vaccine coverage and boosting the commercial viability of products like AREXVY, further energizing the RSV vaccine market.
Technological innovation and product differentiation are also vital forces shaping the RSV vaccine landscape. Breakthroughs in mRNA and adjuvanted vaccine platforms have improved efficacy, safety profiles, and delivery convenience. For example, Moderna's mRESVIA, approved in May 2024 for adults aged 60 and older, represents the company's second FDA-approved mRNA vaccine and highlights the momentum of mRNA technologies in infectious disease prevention. GSK's AREXVY leverages an adjuvanted formulation to enhance immune response in older adults, especially those with weakened immune systems. The availability of multiple vaccine options tailored to different population segments supports competition while broadening access and boosting market confidence in RSV vaccine efficacy.
Increased investments from both public and private sectors are accelerating the pace of clinical trials and regulatory approvals. Major pharmaceutical companies such as Pfizer, Moderna, GSK, and Merck are actively pursuing new indications and age groups through extensive Phase 3 trials. Pfizer continues to expand its RSV vaccine ABRYSVO into younger adult age groups. These developments are expected to intensify competition, improve product innovation, and lower costs over time, which is crucial for sustaining long-term market growth, particularly in emerging economies.
Additionally, partnerships with global health organizations and tiered pricing strategies will be key in expanding RSV vaccine access across low- and middle-income countries. As climate change and global mobility contribute to changes in RSV seasonality and transmission patterns, integrated surveillance and responsive vaccination policies will be increasingly important. With expanding recommendations and a strong innovation pipeline, the RSV vaccine market is poised for continued growth and public health impact.
