Influenza Vaccines Global Market Report 2024

The influenza vaccines market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $6.91 billion in 2023 to $7.44 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to factors such as pandemic preparedness, public health initiatives, studies on vaccine effectiveness, recommendations from healthcare professionals, and global influenza surveillance efforts.

The influenza vaccines market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $10.1 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.0%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as climate and environmental considerations, improvements in healthcare accessibility, the emergence of new influenza strains, innovations in adjuvants and delivery systems, and the overall increase in healthcare expenditure. Major trends expected in the forecast period include the wider use of mRNA vaccine technology, a focus on pediatric immunization, implementation of seasonal influenza control measures, enhanced vaccination coverage in developing nations, and the adoption of tailored vaccination strategies.

The influenza vaccine market is anticipated to witness growth due to the increasing occurrences of seasonal influenza. Seasonal influenza, a respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses, tends to circulate and cause infections during specific periods, typically in colder months. This trend is influenced by factors such as antigenic drift, population susceptibility, environmental conditions, incomplete vaccine coverage, and the absence of universal vaccination. Influenza vaccines play a crucial role in reducing the incidence of seasonal influenza by providing immunization against circulating virus strains. For instance, as per the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization's October 2022 report, the estimated burden of influenza for 2021-2022 included nine million flu illnesses, 100,000 flu-related hospitalizations, 4 million flu-related medical visits, and 5,000 flu deaths. Hence, the increasing occurrences of seasonal influenza are steering the growth of the influenza vaccines market.

The growth of the influenza vaccines market is further expected to be propelled by the increasing aging population. This demographic trend refers to a rising proportion of elderly individuals within a society, and this population segment utilizes influenza vaccines to mitigate the heightened susceptibility to severe complications and mortality associated with influenza infections. The aging process may lead to a weakening immune system, rendering individuals more vulnerable to infectious diseases such as influenza. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) in October 2022, the global population of people aged 60 years and older is projected to double by 2050, reaching 2.1 billion. Therefore, the expanding aging population is a significant driver of the influenza vaccines market.

An emerging trend in the influenza vaccine market is the adoption of technologically advanced vaccine production methods. Companies operating in this market are embracing innovative vaccine production technologies to maintain their competitive positions. For example, in January 2023, GlaxoSmithKline PLC introduced the Multiple Antigen Presenting System (MAPS) for vaccine development, offering an innovative approach to developing effective vaccines against bacteria and viruses. This technology is particularly useful for rapid vaccine development in response to epidemic or pandemic outbreaks.

Major companies in the influenza vaccine market are focusing on advanced product innovations, such as quadrivalent seasonal influenza vaccines, to enhance their respiratory vaccine portfolios and financial standings. A quadrivalent seasonal influenza vaccine is designed to provide protection against four different flu viruses, including two influenza A viruses and two influenza B viruses. In September 2023, Clover Biopharmaceuticals Ltd. launched AdimFlu-S (QIS), a quadrivalent seasonal influenza vaccine approved for use in individuals aged three years and older in China. The quadrivalent composition enhances the vaccine's effectiveness across different influenza B strains compared to trivalent options.

In November 2022, Pfizer Inc. entered into a partnership with BioNTech SE to develop an mRNA combination vaccine for influenza and COVID-19. This collaboration aims to initiate a phase I trial for a single-dose mRNA-based combination addressing both respiratory diseases. BioNTech SE, a Germany-based immunotherapy developer, is partnering with Pfizer Inc., a US-based pharmaceutical and biotechnology company, to advance this innovative approach to respiratory disease prevention.

North America was the largest region in the influenza vaccines market in 2023. Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region in the forecast period. The regions covered in the influenza vaccines market report are Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East, Africa. The countries covered in the influenza vaccines market report are Australia, Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Russia, South Korea, UK, USA, Canada, Italy, Spain.

The primary types of influenza vaccines are inactivated and live attenuated vaccines. Inactivated vaccines contain killed or inactivated microorganisms or viruses, stimulating an immune response without causing the disease. They are used to prevent infection and reduce the severity of illness caused by influenza viruses. Inactivated vaccines are available in both quadrivalent and trivalent formulations and are administered through injections and nasal sprays. These vaccines are suitable for both pediatric and adult populations and are distributed through various channels, including hospitals and pharmacies, government and institutional supply, and other distribution networks.
