Live Attenuated Polio Vaccine Global Market Report 2025

The live attenuated polio vaccine market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.85 billion in 2024 to $2.0 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to mass immunization campaigns, concerns over vaccine-derived poliovirus, government immunization programs, increased public awareness and education, and greater accessibility and affordability of vaccines.

The live attenuated polio vaccine market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.71 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to improved vaccine stability and shelf life, a resurgence of polio cases in conflict zones, donor fatigue in eradication efforts, the expansion of routine immunization programs, and increased research and development for safer live attenuated vaccine strains. Key trends expected during this period include the emergence of vaccine-derived poliovirus, the development of new oral polio vaccines, technological advancements in vaccine formulations, the integration of digital technologies, and the strengthening of public-private partnerships.

The expansion of immunization programs is expected to significantly contribute to the growth of the live attenuated polio vaccine (LAPV) market in the coming years. Immunization programs are structured efforts by governments, health organizations, and other institutions to distribute vaccines to populations to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. These programs are gaining momentum due to heightened global awareness about the importance of disease prevention, along with strong support from governments, international health organizations, and funding bodies. Immunization programs support LAPVs by ensuring their widespread distribution, safe administration, and high coverage rates, all of which help build herd immunity, prevent virus transmission, and further the goal of global polio eradication. For example, in October 2023, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that global coverage for the first dose of the diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTP) vaccine increased from 86% to 89% between 2021 and 2022. As a result, the expansion of immunization programs is anticipated to drive market growth for live attenuated polio vaccines.

Leading companies in the live attenuated polio vaccine market are focusing on obtaining regulatory approvals to ensure their vaccines meet the necessary safety and efficacy standards set by global health authorities. Regulatory approvals refer to the formal authorization granted by government health agencies or regulatory bodies that permit the marketing, sale, and use of a product, such as a vaccine, within specific regions or countries. For instance, in July 2024, Biological E, an India-based pharmaceutical company, received approval from the World Health Organization (WHO) for its novel oral polio vaccine type 2 (nOPV2). This next-generation, live attenuated oral vaccine is designed to better address the challenges posed by traditional oral polio vaccines, especially in combating circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus type 2 (cVDPV2) outbreaks. The nOPV2 is engineered for enhanced genetic stability, reducing the risk of the vaccine virus reverting to a virulent form an issue that has been a concern with older vaccines.

In June 2024, SK bioscience, a South Korea-based vaccine and biotechnology company, acquired IDT Biologika for approximately $244 million. This acquisition strengthens SK bioscience’s leadership in vaccine development and manufacturing, expanding its capabilities and service offerings to improve global health outcomes. The acquisition also aligns with SK bioscience’s long-term goals of operational growth and innovation. IDT Biologika, based in Germany, is a contract development and manufacturing organization specializing in viral vaccines, including live attenuated virus vaccines.

The live attenuated polio vaccine (LAPV) is an oral polio vaccine (OPV) containing a weakened form of the poliovirus. This form stimulates a robust immune response without causing disease in healthy individuals. It mimics natural infection, providing long-lasting immunity and helping to prevent the transmission of the virus within communities.

The main types of vaccines in live attenuated polio vaccines include monovalent, bivalent, and trivalent. A monovalent oral polio vaccine (mOPV) is specifically designed to protect against a single type of poliovirus, such as type 1, type 2, or type 3. It can be administered orally, via intramuscular injection, or subcutaneously, depending on the age group infants (0-1 years), children (1-5 years), and adults (above 5 years). This vaccine is used by various end-users, including hospitals, clinics, public health agencies, and other healthcare providers.
