Antiviral Drugs Market Set to Witness an Uptick during 2020 to 2027
The global antiviral
drugs market size is expected
to reach USD 46.9 billion by 2027,
according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. It is estimated to
register a CAGR of -2.3% over the forecast period. Increasing geriatric
population is considered to be the major factor anticipated to drive the demand
for efficient treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections.
Antiviral drugs are in high demand due to the
ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. However, due to the breakdown of the value chain in
relevant APIs exported from China, there is a global shortage being observed.
With manufacturers working hard to maintain positive credit, it is to be
observed how antiviral drugs demand will be met. The estimates & forecast
update will take into account the all-important impact of coronavirus.
According to the Centers of Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), nearly half the people diagnosed with HIV in U.S.
are aged 50 and older. Furthermore, according to the data published in World
Population Prospects: The 2020 Revision, one in six people globally is
estimated to be over age of 65 years by 2050. In addition, one in four persons
living in Northern America and Europe would be aged 65 years and above by 2050.
The number of persons aged 80 years and above is estimated to triple, from 143
million in 2020 to 426 million in 2050. The increasing aging population
worldwide would have a direct impact on the healthcare systems, who would have
to meet the needs of the aging population. This, in turn, would drive the
demand for antiviral drugs, which can be used to treat a range of viral
infections.
Presence of pipeline antiviral
products for HIV therapeutics is anticipated to drive the market over the
forecast period. For instance, ViiV Healthcare is developing
Cabotegravir/rilpivirine (long-acting injectable), which is currently under
Phase III and are types of NNRTI/ INSTI drug class. In addition,GS-6207 (capsid
inhibitor) and vesatolimod (TLR-7 agonist) are being developed by Gilead
Sciences and are currently under Phase I trial for the treatment of HIV.
Moreover, advancements in epidemiology and growing awareness of viral diseases
are expected to result in a high demand for efficient treatment solutions.
According to the CDC, the prevalence
of oral herpes (HSV-1) and genital herpes (HSV-2) was 47.8% and 11.9%
respectively, from 2015 to 2016. The Herpes Resource Center (HRC) provides
public awareness, education, and patient support. Moreover, the Hepatitis B
Foundation provides information such as diagnosis, preventive measures, and
treatment. Increasing preventive measures with the availability of various
vaccines is expected to hinder the market growth over the forecast period.

The global antiviral drugs market size was valued at USD 56.4
billion in 2020 and is expected to register a CAGR of -2.3% over the forecast
period. Antiviral drugs are used for the treatment of viral infections, such as
human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis, and influenza. Broad-spectrum
antiviral drugs can be used to treat a range of viruses. Moreover, several
investigational drugs for the treatment of HIV infection are currently in the
pipeline. Increasing instances of HIV infections are estimated to drive the
demand for antiviral drugs.
Increasing prevalence of viral infections such as HIV,
hepatitis, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and influenza is expected to
drive the demand for antiviral drugs. For instance, according to data published
by the WHO, hepatitis B caused around 887,000 deaths in 2015. Moreover, it was estimated
that around 257 million patients were living with hepatitis B virus (HBV)
infection in 2015. This is expected to drive the demand for efficient treatment
solutions such as antiviral drugs.
Further key findings from the report suggest:
·
Reverse transcriptase inhibitors held the
largest share in 2020 and is estimated to be the fastest-growing segment over
the forecast period as these inhibitors slow down or prevent viral replication
·
DNA polymerase inhibitors was the
second-largest segment in 2020 owing to its effectiveness in combating drug
resistance
·
Generic products are estimated to be the
fastest-growing segment over the forecast period owing to increased adoption of
generic drugs in developing countries
·
Hepatitis dominated the application segment
in 2020 owing to the availability of various antiviral products for its
treatment
·
HIV is estimated to be the fastest-growing
segment over the forecast period due to its increasing prevalence and incidence
rate
·
North America dominated the global antiviral
drugs market in 2020 owing to the presence of key players in the region and the
availability of a well-established healthcare infrastructure.
Based
on drug class, the market is classified into DNA polymerase inhibitors, reverse
transcriptase inhibitors, protease inhibitors, neuraminidase inhibitors, and
others. Reverse transcriptase inhibitors held the largest share in 2020 and is
estimated to be the fastest-growing segment over the forecast period as they
are effective in slowing down or preventing viral infection. Reverse
transcriptase inhibitors include nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors
(NRTIs) and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs). Drugs
used in the treatment of HIV include Zidovudine, Stavudine, Zalcitabine,
Efavirenz, Nevirapine, Etravirine, and Didanosine.
