Global H1N1 Vaccines Market 2016-2020

Overview of the H1N1 vaccines market 

According to the analysts at Technavio, the global H1N1 vaccines market is envisaged to show stable growth and will post a CAGR of more than 4% over the forecast period. In 2006, the WHO in collaboration with vaccines manufacturers, academic experts, public health organization, and funding agencies developed a global action plan for influenza vaccines. This program was implemented with a vision to combat the global shortage of seasonal epidemic influenza vaccines and pandemic influenza vaccines. It is a comprehensive strategy to increase the production capacity and the use of seasonal and influenza vaccines. Moreover, WHO is strengthening global surveillance systems to analyze the circulating strains of influenza virus and determine the global burden of disease. Therefore, the implementation of a comprehensive action plan for influenza vaccines is one of the primary factors anticipated to bolster this market’s growth until the end of 2020.

The emergence of a universal influenza vaccine is a significant trend spurring the growth prospects of this market in the coming years. Currently, influenza vaccines are reformulated annually to offer protection against influenza viral strains that are likely to prevail in the upcoming flu season. However, these vaccines exhibit low efficacy against pandemic viruses and viruses with an antigenic mismatch. The limited effectiveness of such vaccines led to the development of a universal influenza vaccine, which is based on the protein structure of the influenza virus and are conserved across virus subtypes. This is expected to increase the window for protection against the flu virus. Also, this universal flu shot can decrease the severity of the disease and increases viral clearance from the body. Moreover, it is expected to reduce the mortality rate of influenza infection significantly till specific vaccines directed against the causative viral strain are developed.
