Analyst Opinion

As vaccines are mainly used for prophylactic purposes, i.e., to prevent diseases, the Vaccines market holds a special position in the Pharmaceuticals market. This also means that they are administered to a larger share of the population, whereas the drugs covered in most of the other markets are administered if you have an existing condition, and thus only certain groups of individuals are potential patients. With only a few important players, the Vaccines market is very concentrated.

A few new players have entered the market due to COVID-19 vaccines, and these vaccines have led to a major growth boost. They were developed under high time pressure but prove to be highly effective, and billions of doses have been produced. Demand for COVID-19 vaccines is expected to continue throughout the coming years. The mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines are the first approved drugs of their kind, boosting this research area. There are very promising prospects regarding a large range of diseases, such as cancer, psoriasis, malaria, HIV, osteoarthritis, and Alzheimer's disease, but also when it comes to vaccines against other infectious diseases.

The growth of revenues generated by other types of vaccines has declined since the start of the pandemic because other types of vaccinations are seen as non-emergency treatments, which is why many people suspended their refreshments. Moreover, the need for travel-related vaccinations has decreased. At the same time, the awareness of flu vaccines has grown, with increased demand from at-risk persons, such as cancer patients. In the forecast period, the revenue growth rates are expected to be back at high levels.
