The Nonwoven Filter Media Market was valued at USD 6.6 Billion in 2024, and is projected to reach USD 8.5 Billion by 2029, rising at a CAGR of 5.2%.

The vaccines segment dominated the global influenza market in 2023. Because influenza vaccines are the most effective method for lowering the risk of contracting influenza and suffering its subsequent effects, the market for this segment is growing. Influenza comes in four varieties: A, B, C and D. Seasonal epidemics are caused by the infectious influenza A and B viruses. Most people recover from fever and other symptoms within a week without medical intervention. Nevertheless, influenza can result in fatalities or severe illness, particularly in high-risk populations. Seasonal influenza spreads quickly and easily in crowded places like schools and nursing homes, so receiving a vaccination as soon as possible is critical. Based on vaccine type, the segment is further subdivided into inactivated and liveattenuated vaccines.

The market for influenza diagnostics has been segmented into rapid tests and conventional lab tests based on diagnostic type. Increased R&D efforts are being made to detect and diagnose influenza more accurately due to its increasing global prevalence. Research is focusing on developing quicker and more precise diagnostic tools for influenza viruses, which will expand the market. Antiviral drugs approved for influenza treatments are discussed in the therapeutic segment. These medications may lessen the likelihood of complications, lessen the severity of symptoms and shorten the course of the illness. These drugs include oseltamivir (Tamiflu), zanamivir (Relenza), peramivir (Rapivab) and baloxavir marboxil (Xofluza).
