Industry Dynamics
Growth Drivers
Increasing demand for medical needs at the time of the epidemic, an excessive number of coronavirus cases globally, and increasing funding and grants provided by government authorities towards research and innovation of the COVID-19 vaccine are the key factors that are driving the growth of the global flu treatment market. COVID-19 came into notice in Dec 2023 in China and after that, the number of cases and count of COVID-19 patients are increasing massively globally. This virus infection has no treatment, and no vaccine to date, and the only way to come out of this epidemic is to prevent its occurrence.
According to a report by WHO in March 2020, the number of coronavirus patients exceeded 200000, and in almost after twelve days the number would exceed 100000. Furthermore, this would not provide assurance or time to make things back to normal or right on track as all human activities whether economic or social have been hampered by this virus. Moreover, in order to combat the situation WHO (World Health Organization) has urged all developed and developing countries to invent a drug or vaccine that could treat the disease as a result to which the global flu treatment market is anticipated to observe rapid growth.
Increasing Global Incidence: The flu is a recurring seasonal illness that affects a significant portion of the population annually. The constant circulation of different strains of the influenza virus drives the demand for flu treatments, including vaccines and antiviral medications.
Government Immunization Programs: Many governments worldwide actively promote and implement flu vaccination programs, especially for high-risk groups such as young children, older adults, pregnant women, and individuals with underlying health conditions. These initiatives contribute to increased vaccine demand and subsequent market growth.
Advancements in Vaccine Technology: Continuous research and development efforts have led to advancements in vaccine technology. This includes the development of new vaccine formulations, improved production methods, and broader strain coverage. These advancements enhance the efficacy and effectiveness of flu vaccines, driving their adoption and market growth.
Growing Healthcare Expenditure: As healthcare expenditure increases globally, there is a greater focus on preventing and managing diseases like the flu. The willingness to spend on preventive measures, diagnosis, and treatment contributes to the growth of the flu treatment market.
Challenges
However, increasing challenges prevailing due to patent expiration of branded drugs, research and development, and the launch of generic versions to fight certain flu are a few factors expected to hamper the growth of the global flu treatment market.
Vaccine production involves a complex process that requires timely strain identification, production of seed viruses, and large-scale manufacturing. Delays or disruptions in any of these steps can impact the availability and distribution of flu vaccines, especially during periods of high demand. In some regions, limited healthcare infrastructure, particularly in rural or low-resource areas, can hinder access to flu treatments. Ensuring equitable access to vaccines, diagnostic tests, and antiviral medications is a challenge that needs to be addressed to effectively combat the flu.
Geographic Overview
