“Vaccines can significantly reduce the burden of various diseases and can increase life expectancy through prevention,” said BCC Research analyst and report author Anuj Pathak. “The introduction of newer vaccines covering many diseases is another factor pushing the market towards significant growth. New product offerings to meet unmet needs, contingency planning for pandemic infections, awareness of diseases prevention, improving economic conditions of developing countries and increasing interest and investments from major pharmaceutical companies are shaping the vaccines market.”

Vaccine Production Doubled in Four Years, With Developing Nations Adding to the Supply

Seasonal influenza vaccine production doubled, from 500 million annually to 1 billion annually, between 2006 and 2010, the report notes. More than a dozen developing nations, from South Africa to Kazakhstan, have been awarded grants to establish manufacturing centers for domestic influenza vaccines, and as of 2017 five nations – India, Indonesia, South Korea, Thailand and Romania – had vaccines in the late-stage development phase. Financial support for this effort has come from the U.S., Japan, the Asian Development Bank, Canada and the U.K. The trend for vaccine manufacturing, the report adds, is toward increased capacity, with vaccines being applied to cancer prevention efforts, seasonal flu prevention and concerns over pandemics.
