Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) therapeutics refer to treatments and medications aimed at managing and suppressing HIV infection, primarily through antiretroviral therapy (ART). These therapies work to lower the viral load, prevent the progression to AIDS, and enhance the quality of life for people living with HIV.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The primary drug types in HIV therapeutics include branded and generic drugs. Branded drugs are patented treatments developed and marketed under specific trade names after extensive research and clinical evaluation to ensure efficacy and safety. The major drug classes encompass nucleoside-analog reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), entry and fusion inhibitors, protease inhibitors (PIs), integrase inhibitors, and coreceptor antagonists. These medications are distributed via hospital pharmacies, online platforms, and retail pharmacies and are utilized by end users such as hospitals, clinics, and specialty treatment centers.

This human immunodeficiency virus therapeutics market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The human immunodeficiency virus therapeutics market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from$14.11 billion in 2024 to $14.94 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the increasing prevalence of HIV, expansion of awareness initiatives, a rise in diagnostic testing, greater penetration of generic drugs, and the development of healthcare infrastructure.
The human immunodeficiency virus therapeutics market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to$18.57 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to an increasing HIV patient population, a rise in HIV screening efforts, growth in voluntary testing rates, a surge in unprotected sexual practices, and the expansion of government-led programs. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in technology, AI-driven drug development, the emergence of long-acting injectable treatments, the integration of telemedicine, and the exploration of CRISPR-based gene therapies.
The rising incidence of unprotected sexual activity is a key factor propelling the growth of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) therapeutics market. Unprotected sex-defined as sexual activity without the use of barrier protection-significantly elevates the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV. This trend is exacerbated by limited access to contraceptive methods and the absence of comprehensive sex education, particularly among adolescents and young adults. HIV therapeutics play a critical role in suppressing viral load, thereby preventing transmission and improving patient outcomes. For example, according to a November 2024 report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 32% of U.S. high school students surveyed in 2023 reported having had sexual intercourse, and 48% did not use a condom during their most recent encounter. These statistics highlight the urgent need for effective HIV interventions and support the growing demand for antiretroviral therapies.
Leading companies in the HIV therapeutics market are advancing combination therapy strategies to improve efficacy, minimize drug resistance, and promote patient adherence. Combination therapy involves using two or more drugs simultaneously to treat HIV, offering several benefits such as improved virologic control, reduced pill burden, and lower risk of resistance development. In December 2022, Gilead Sciences Inc., a U.S.-based biopharmaceutical firm, received FDA approval for Sunlenca (lenacapavir), a novel long-acting capsid inhibitor. Approved for use in combination with other antiretroviral agents, Sunlenca is intended for adults with multidrug-resistant HIV-1. It is the first HIV medication in its class and offers a biannual dosing regimen, which significantly enhances convenience and adherence. The approval was supported by the CAPELLA trial, which demonstrated strong and sustained virologic suppression. Innovations such as Sunlenca are reshaping the treatment landscape, especially for patients with complex therapeutic histories.
In May 2022, F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd., a Switzerland-based healthcare and diagnostics leader, entered into a partnership with The Global Fund to strengthen HIV and tuberculosis diagnostics in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The initiative aims to scale up access to diagnostic tools, overcome infrastructure barriers, and promote sustainable healthcare waste management practices. The Global Fund, also based in Switzerland, is a global financing mechanism dedicated to supporting healthcare systems in the fight against HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria. This collaboration reflects a broader industry trend of public-private partnerships targeting improved disease detection, early treatment, and pandemic preparedness in underserved regions.
