Flu Treatment Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Increasing Clinical Research Activities

There are several factors such as a surge in healthcare expenditure, and an increase in R&D investments associated with anti-viral drugs further boost the influenza treatment market growth. For instance, F. Hoffmann-La Roche AG launched Xofluza (Baloxavir Marboxil) for the treatment of influenza in 2018. Additionally, Xofluza is the first new flu medicine with a novel proposed mechanism of action. Thus, this leads to the wide availability of better treatment options for patients. Conversely, the high growth potential shown by developing economies such as India and China having a huge population base and famous epidemiology of influenza infection is anticipated to provide lucrative opportunities for the market during the forecast period 2023-2030. Additionally, Pfizer announced to initiation phase 3 clinical trial of the influenza vaccine in September 2022. The company employed mRNA technology to gain insights into more effective vaccines that can minimize rates of flu-related hospitalization and death. Thus, this boosts the market growth.

Opportunities

• Increasing Government Initiatives

The increasing government initiatives to combat flu and develop accurate tests will complement the market growth. For instance, Qorvo Biotechnologies was awarded a USD 4.1 million worth contract from the National Institute of Health in February 2022 to accelerate the process of developing the COVID-19/Flu Combo assay and its antigen test. The funds will be used in several clinical trials and market launches of the products. Thus, this factor boost the market growth.

• Rising Prevalence of Influenza Cases in Elderly Population

The increasing base of the elderly population increases the probability of a higher occurrence rate of flu. Thus, one of the WHO’s recommendations to prevent influenza cases is to vaccinate elder individuals aged above the age of 65 years. In 2018-19, about 55% of hospitalization because of the flu was accounted for by the elderly population, i.e., 65+ years adults. Likewise, 75% of flu-related deaths are among older adults. Therefore, the low immune system of older adults makes them more susceptible to the flu virus. Thus, this boost the market growth

Restraints/Challenges

• High Cost of Treatment

The increasing cost of developing tests and devices can impede the growth of the market. The raw material availability and accessibility constraints inflate the overall cost of the product. The increasing burden of high production costs is passed on to the end-users at high prices. For instance, the Labcorp Seasonal Respiratory Virus RT-PCR DTC Test is an at-home collection kit for multiple respiratory viruses including flu. The test kit cost is about USD 169 at retail and online stores. This impedes the market growth.
