Report Scope and Market Segmentation       

Market Definition

A vaccine is a biological preparation that provides active acquired immunity to a particular diseaseIt usually includes a weakened or inactive form of the microorganism, its toxins, or surface proteins which helps the immune system recognize and remember the pathogen. This recognition enables the immune system to mount a rapid and effective response if the individual is exposed to the actual pathogen in the future, thereby preventing or reducing the severity of the disease. Vaccines are a critical tool in public health for preventing the spread of infectious diseases and have significantly reduced morbidity and mortality worldwide.      

Vaccines Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Rising Incidence of Infectious Diseases

The escalating global incidence of infectious diseases significantly drives the demand for vaccines.  Recent outbreaks of diseases such as measles, influenza, and COVID-19 have underscored the critical role of vaccination in curbing the spread of infectious diseases and mitigating their impact on public health. According to data released by the World Health Organization (WHO) in July 2023, the coverage of a third dose of the vaccine protecting against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (DTP3) improved from 81% in 2021 to 84% in 2022.  the proportion of children receiving the first dose of the measles vaccine slightly increased from 81% in 2021 to 83% in 2022, These findings highlight the progress in global vaccination efforts and growing emphasis on immunization programs worldwide, further boosting the market for vaccines.

• Increased Funding for Vaccine Research

The surge in funding for vaccine research from government agencies and private organizations is propelling the development of new vaccines and expanding the market. Under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Project NextGen aims to accelerate and streamline the rapid development of the next generation of vaccines and treatments through public-private collaborations. This initiative involves an initial investment of USD 5 billion. This increased funding is catalyzing research efforts targeting a wide array of diseases, including emerging infectious diseases and cancer. The result is a robust pipeline of new vaccines, addressing unmet medical needs and driving growth in the market.

Opportunities

• Expansion of Vaccination Programs

There is an opportunity for expanding vaccination programs, particularly in developing countries where access to vaccines is limited. According to WHO, data from various countries indicate that constraints and uneven access to pediatric vaccines persist, and the rotavirus vaccine is utilized in only 58% of self-procuring middle-income countries. Similarly, the human papillomavirus vaccine is used in only 41% of lower-income countries, despite these countries bearing a significant burden of cervical cancer and having limited access to other preventive and curative services. Increasing investments in healthcare infrastructure and vaccination campaigns can help improve vaccine coverage and reduce the burden of vaccine-preventable diseases in these countries, creating a significant market opportunity for vaccine manufacturers.

• Development of Next-Generation Vaccines

The development of next-generation vaccines, such as mRNA vaccines and recombinant vaccines, presents an opportunity for innovation and growth in the market. These vaccines offer advantages such as rapid development timelines, increased efficacy, and improved safety profiles. The acquisition of Affinivax, Inc. by GSK plc exemplifies the opportunities presented by next-generation vaccines in the market. Affinivax's innovative work in developing next-generation pneumococcal vaccines, including AFX3772, demonstrates the potential of such vaccines to offer significant advancements over traditional vaccine technologies. Companies such as GSK invest in developing next-generation vaccines which meet the evolving needs of healthcare systems worldwide and also create new opportunities for growth and innovation in the vaccine market.Top of Form

Restraints/Challenges

• Lack of Trust in Vaccines

Vaccine hesitancy refers to the reluctance or refusal to vaccinate despite the availability of vaccines. It is influenced by factors such as complacency, convenience, and confidence in vaccines, as well as misinformation and lack of trust in healthcare systems. The lack of awareness and support from the general public can be challenging for the adoption of vaccines and market growth.

• Operational Challenges for Vaccines

The distribution and storage present significant logistical challenges, particularly in resource-limited settings and during mass vaccination campaigns. Maintaining the cold chain, ensuring proper storage conditions, and managing supply chains are crucial to preserving vaccine efficacy and preventing wastage. These logistical challenges can prove to be restraints for the market growth.

Recent Developments

• In February 2023, Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, and the Government of India forged a new three-year partnership to immunize millions of children nationwide with vital vaccines. Under this collaboration, Gavi will allocate US$ 250 million to identify and vaccinate children who have not yet received any routine vaccines, help existing health systems, and support the introduction of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine and typhoid conjugate vaccine (TCV) into India's national routine immunization schedule
• In January 2023, Bharat Biotech introduced iNCOVACC, an immunization administered in drop form, which triggers an immune response in the nasal cavity's tissue
• In June 2022, Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech SE released positive findings from their study assessing the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of two COVID-19 vaccine candidates adapted for the Omicron variant.  Results from the Phase 2/3 trial showed that a booster dose of both Omicron-adapted vaccines elicited a significantly higher immune response against Omicron BA.1 compared to their existing COVID-19 vaccine
