Respiratory Syncytial Virus Prophylaxis - Global Drug Forecast and Market Analysis to 2030

Human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is an enveloped, single-stranded, negative-sense RNA orthopneumovirus belonging to the family of Pneumoviridae. The most common clinical scenario for RSV is an upper respiratory tract infection which is typically mild and self-limiting. However, RSV is the leading cause of lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) in infants, with a peak age of hospitalization between 2-3 months of age. Severe respiratory disease can manifest as bronchiolitis and pneumonia, which can progress to respiratory failure or death in rare occasions. RSV is also an important cause of hospitalizations and deaths in elderly adults. Only one marketed drug is indicated for the prevention of RSV infections, Sobi/AbbVie’s monoclonal antibody (mAb) Synagis (palivizumab) for the prophylaxis of RSV in infants at a high risk of severe infection.

The publisher projects the global (8MM) RSV to experience high growth during the forecast period. There are 8 prophylactic products expected to launch in the 8MM by 2030. The launch of AstraZeneca/Sanofi's improved prophylactic mAb nirsevimab and Merck’s mAb clesrovimab will be a key driver of growth, replacing Synagis as standard of care prophylaxis for high-risk infants. The launch of several vaccines for adult, maternal, and pediatric patients from Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline, Johnson & Johnson, and Bavarian Nordic will fulfill a major unmet need, and will have a significant effect on the overall size of the RSV prophylactics market.

Key Highlights

• During the 10-year forecast period, there are eight major pipeline products that are on track to launch, driving a forecast growth in the 8MM from $455M in 2020 to $6.3B in 2030, which represents a CAGR of 30.1%.
• To combat the unmet need of an improved passive prophylaxis, new monoclonal antibodies from AstraZeneca/Sanofi (nirsevimab) and Merck (clesrovimab) will enter the RSV prophylactic market in 2023 and 2025, respectively, and take over a combined market share of 57.5% in 2030.
• Further market entries will be maternal RSV vaccines from Pfizer (PF-06928316/RSVpreF) and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK-3888550A/RSV MAT), RSV vaccines for the elderly from GlaxoSmithKline (GSK-3844766A/RSVPreF3 OA) , Johnson & Johnson (JNJ-64213175/RSV preF) , and Bavarian Nordic (MVA-BN RSV), as well a vaccine for both pediatric and adult RSV patients from Johnson & Johnson (JNJ-64400141/Ad26.RSV.preF), resulting in forecasted 2030 RSV vaccines sales of $2.7B.
