Market Analysis and Size                              

The cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a widespread and usually harmless virus. If you have it while pregnant, it can pose issues in your baby (congenital CMV). Congenital CMV infection affects around one out of every 200 babies, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. CMV infection in the neonate results in a reduced interferon response compared to infection in adults. During pregnancy, CMV infection and the risk of reactivation of cytomegalovirus infection have been described. Congenital CMV infection can also result from these.

Report Scope and Market Segmentation

Market Definition

Cytomegalovirus infection is a common herpesvirus infection that can cause a variety of symptoms, ranging from no symptoms to fever and exhaustion to severe symptoms affecting the eyes, brain, and other internal organs. CMV is a contagious disease that can be spread through blood, sperm, saliva, urine, and breast milk. The most prevalent method of treatment is antiviral medicine. They can slow the virus's reproduction but not inhibit it. Ganciclovir, foscarnet, valganciclovir, cidofovir, and other antiviral medications are commercially available to treat cytomegalovirus.

Cytomegalovirus Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Rise in the prevalence of cytomegalovirus infection

The surging prevalence of cytomegalovirus infection is a major factor driving the market's growth rate during the forecast period of 2022-2029. In the United States, one in every 150 infants is born with congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Only one out of every five infants infected with CMV develops long-term health issues. The CMV infection treatment and diagnosis market will rise due to rising infection rates and desire for improved treatment options.

• Growing prevalence of viral infections

The need for cytomegalovirus medicines is expected to rise as the prevalence of viral infections among AIDS patient’s increases due to weakening immune systems. According to the CDC, around 36.7 million people were living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in 2017. The widespread availability of antiviral medications to treat this condition is anticipated to stimulate the demand for effective treatment options. This will influence the market’s growth rate.

Furthermore, sedentary lifestyle of people and rising number of initiatives by government to spread awareness will result in the expansion of cytomegalovirus market. Along with this, rising healthcare expenditure and expiry of patents which leads to the availability of generic drugs will enhance the growth rate of the market. Also, increasing number of organ transplantation globally is estimated to enhance the market’s growth rate.

Opportunities

• Increase in the number of research and development activities      

The rising number of research and development activities for new indications and patent expiry of biologics is estimated to create new opportunities for the cytomegalovirus market growth in coming years. Various projects focused on R&D efforts linked to cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection are being launched by major institutes. For instance, the University of Washington's Program for Advanced Cell Therapy (PACT) launched a first-in-the-US cell-therapy trial for kidney transplant patients in August 2019 that will use virus-specific white blood cells in the treatment of patients with severe cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection after kidney transplantation.

Moreover, rising investment for the development of advanced technologies and increase in the number of emerging markets will further provide beneficial opportunities for the cytomegalovirus market growth during the forecast period.

Restraints/Challenges

On the other hand, high cost associated with the treatment will obstruct the growth rate of market. The lack of healthcare infrastructure in developing economies and dearth of skilled professionals will challenge the cytomegalovirus market. Additionally, lack of awareness among people and side effects linked with medications will act as restrain and further impede the growth rate of market during the forecast period of 2022-2029.
