Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) therapeutics refers to medical treatments aimed at managing and alleviating the symptoms caused by hMPV, a respiratory virus that typically affects infants, older adults, and immunocompromised individuals. These therapeutics work by inhibiting viral replication, blocking the virus from entering host cells, and modulating the immune response to reduce inflammation and the severity of the disease.
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 classes for hMPV therapeutics include antipyretics, decongestants, cough suppressants, and other related medications. An antipyretic is a substance that helps reduce fever by lowering the body's temperature, acting on the hypothalamus. These drugs are distributed through various channels, including hospital pharmacies, retail pharmacies, and online pharmacies. They are utilized in various end-use settings such as hospitals, clinics, diagnostic and reference laboratories, academic and research institutions, and other healthcare facilities.
The human metapneumovirus (hMPV) therapeutics market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides human metapneumovirus (hMPV) therapeutics market statistics, including the human metapneumovirus (hMPV) therapeutics industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with the human metapneumovirus (hMPV) therapeutics market share, detailed human metapneumovirus (hMPV) therapeutics market segments, market trends, and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the human metapneumovirus (hMPV) therapeutics industry. This human metapneumovirus (hMPV) 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 metapneumovirus (hMPV) therapeutics market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $0.66 billion in 2024 to $0.70 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth observed during the historic period can be attributed to increased awareness of viral respiratory infections, a rising incidence of pediatric respiratory illnesses, higher hospitalization rates, expanded global health surveillance efforts, and a growing research focus on emerging respiratory viruses.
The human metapneumovirus (hMPV) therapeutics market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $0.90 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth projected during the forecast period can be attributed to the rising demand for supportive care treatments, increased government and NGO funding, growing awareness of respiratory infections, a rise in pediatric respiratory illness cases, and a higher demand for targeted therapies. Key trends during this period include the integration of technology in diagnostic platforms, advancements in antiviral drug development, progress in vaccine research and delivery systems, technology-driven point-of-care testing, and improvements in molecular diagnostics.
The growing prevalence of respiratory infections is expected to significantly drive the expansion of the human metapneumovirus (hMPV) therapeutics market in the future. Respiratory infections affect the respiratory tract, which includes the nose, throat, airways, and lungs. The increasing number of these infections is largely attributed to rising levels of air pollution. Pollutants such as particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide can irritate and weaken the respiratory tract, making individuals more vulnerable to infections. hMPV therapeutics play a crucial role in treating respiratory infections caused by hMPV by reducing viral replication and inflammation through antiviral treatments and supportive care. This improves health outcomes, especially for vulnerable groups such as infants, the elderly, and immunocompromised patients. For example, in June 2024, the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, a government agency, reported that Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) contributed to 3.6% of Australia's total disease burden in 2023. COPD accounted for 50% of the overall respiratory disease burden, with an estimated 638,000 people (2.5% of the population) living with COPD in 2022. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of respiratory infections is driving growth in the human metapneumovirus (hMPV) therapeutics market.
Leading companies in the human metapneumovirus (hMPV) therapeutics market are focusing on developing targeted antiviral therapies, such as monoclonal antibodies, to effectively treat hMPV infections. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are laboratory-produced proteins that replicate the immune system's natural ability to fight diseases. These antibodies offer targeted therapy for a range of conditions, including cancer and autoimmune disorders, by specifically binding to and neutralizing harmful antigens or cells. For instance, in October 2024, Vicebio Ltd., a UK-based biopharmaceutical company, secured $100 million in Series B financing, led by TCGX with support from Goldman Sachs Alternatives and other investors. This funding will advance the Phase 1 clinical trial of VXB-241, a bivalent vaccine targeting RSV and hMPV, with preliminary results expected by mid-2025. The funding will also accelerate the development of VXB-251, a trivalent vaccine targeting RSV, hMPV, and Parainfluenza Virus 3, aiming to address significant medical challenges in older populations.
In February 2024, AstraZeneca plc, a UK-based pharmaceutical giant, acquired Icosavax, Inc. for $1.1 billion. This acquisition allows AstraZeneca to strengthen its vaccine and respiratory infection portfolio by incorporating Icosavax's innovative virus-like particle (VLP) technology and its potential first-in-class combination vaccine for RSV and hMPV. Icosavax, Inc., a U.S.-based biopharmaceutical company, is developing virus-like particle vaccines, including a promising first-in-class combination vaccine targeting both RSV and hMPV.
