According to the report, one of the major drivers for this market is Rising awareness of retroviral infection. The awareness about retroviral infection is on the rise. Initiatives such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC's) Act Against AIDS, targeted to make the youth aware of the risk of HIV infection because of concurrent use of alcohol and drugs, will drive the growth of the market. The initiatives by various governments also help to create awareness.

Further, the report states that one of the major factors hindering the growth of this market is High cost of antiretroviral drugs. High cost of treatment is one of the major challenges impeding the growth of the global ART market. The majority of patients in low and middle-income countries infected with HIV-1 and diagnosed after confirmatory tests fail to complete the course of treatment due to affordability concerns. According to the NIH, ART's success depends on patient adherence to the therapy course. Patients who had adhered 95% or above have shown a decrease in the viral load; the HIV RNA level was also non-detectable. Hence, the market can only experience growth if demand is high, which can only be possible if individuals are able to afford the cost of treatment. Therefore, it is essential to bring down the cost of drugs and treatment so that drug adherence, as well as adoption rate, improves.
