Global Vaccine Market Surging to More Than $70 Billion by 2024
The
global human vaccine market will more than double in value by 2024 and
four pharmaceutical corporations control the majority of the market.
Adult Vaccines Driving Force in Growing Market Value
According to a new report released by Transparency Market Research, the value of the global human vaccines market is expected to grow from a $28.3 billion in 2015 to $72.5 billion in 2024. The projection would represent a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.2 percent from 2016 to 2024. Even though the dollar figure is large and growing, vaccines still only account 3 percent of the market share within the global pharmaceutical industry.1The report broke down expectations by segments. By age group, pediatric vaccines accounted for 57.5 percent of the share in 2015, but adult vaccines are expected to grow at a 13.2 percent CAGR during the forecast period.1
When the research group analyzed the market by product, they found the pneumococcal segment to have the majority share in 2015, but expect hepatitis products to demonstrate strong growth through 2024. By vaccine type, the conjugate vaccines held the majority share in 2015, but the combination vaccines were expected to have the largest CAGR.
North America dominates the vaccine market with an anticipated value of $28 billion by 2024. Four companies control 74 percent of the global market—Pfizer, Merck, Sanofi and GlaxoSmithKline.1
A growing vaccine market is attributed to a number of factors, including more stringent recommendations for vaccinations from many governments. Growth-limiting factors include strict regulatory approval processes, high costs associated with research for discovery and development and cold chain logistic challenges.1
