Market dynamics
3 factors across 2 forcesTechnological Advancements in Vaccine Administration
Vaccine technology has evolved significantly during the last decade, profoundly changing the future of vaccine development. The introduction of genetic engineering has fueled many advances in vaccine development programs, leading to new products. Various virus vaccines that use the attenuated form of the virus have been developed through these methods. Also, new technologies enable the faster detection of viruses and allow for concentration levels to be kept high enough to generate an immune response.
Recent vaccine technologies are largely driven by the need to accelerate response times against emerging threats and make vaccines available for quick deployment. The increasing need to develop vaccines against difficult targets and improve delivery systems for maximum potency is also the focus of innovation in the vaccine industry. The development of synthetic vaccine candidates, genomic analysis of disease progression and vaccine response, structure-based antigen design, and nanoparticle delivery systems are some of the technological advancements in vaccine delivery.
Therefore, technological advancements are expected to drive the emergence of new and more effective vaccines for various new indications, fueling the growth of the vaccine market.
Strong Product Pipeline for Vaccines
Over the last decade, the field of vaccine development has received huge support from the pharmaceutical industry as well as governments worldwide due to successful vaccination programs that helped in the eradication of infectious diseases such as chickenpox and polio globally, saving billions of dollars in healthcare expenditure. Vaccines are one of the most powerful and cost-effective health interventions available. Yet, many preventable diseases still cost millions of lives and billions of dollars every year. GlaxoSmithKline plc (U.K.), Johnson & Johnson (U.S.), Merck & Co., Inc. (U.S.), Pfizer Inc. (U.S.), Sanofi (France), Serum Institute of India Pvt. Ltd. (India), Daiichi Sankyo Co., Ltd. (Japan), and Takeda Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Japan) are some of the major providers of vaccines in the global market. These companies are continuously engaged in developing new vaccines for new indications. The strong product pipelines of these companies indicate the growing demand for vaccines in the global market.
Some companies have portfolios of highly profitable vaccines and small vaccine pipelines. In such cases, the companies’ access considerations mainly depend upon pricing, registration, and supply. Other companies have limited product portfolios but larger pipelines supported by proportionally high investments in vaccine R&D. These companies are focused on ensuring the development of effective and accessible vaccines to meet global health needs.

| By Route of Administration | Intramuscular (IM) | — |
| By Type | Subunit & Conjugate Vaccines | — |
| By Valence | Multivalent Vaccines | — |
By Indication
- The pneumococcal diseases segment is expected to account for the largest share of 13.9% of the vaccines market.
- The large market share of this segment can be attributed to the rising incidence of pneumococcal diseases such as pneumonia, meningitis, febrile bacteremia, otitis media, and sinusitis; the development of quality vaccines such as PPSV23; and initiatives by government and private sector organizations to prevent and control outbreaks of pneumococcal disease.
- The pneumococcal disease segment is also projected to register the highest CAGR of 2.7% during the forecast period of 2024-2031.
- This is due to growing awareness regarding the importance of influenza vaccination and increasing clinical trial support.
By Route of Administration
- The Intramuscular (IM) segment is expected to account for the largest share of the vaccines market.
- The large market share of this segment can be attributed to the ease of intramuscular administration and quick absorption of vaccines administered through the intramuscular route.
By Type
- The subunit & conjugate vaccines segment is expected to account for the largest share of the vaccines market.
- The large market share of this segment can be attributed to the subunit & conjugate vaccines’ long-term immunity, high safety, and stability compared to vaccines with other antigens.
By Valence
- The multivalent vaccines segment is expected to account for the larger share of 64.5% of vaccines market.
- The large market share of this segment is attributed to the launch of new multivalent vaccines, growing investments by key players in the R&D of multivalent vaccines, and technological advancements in multivalent vaccine production.
Geographic analysis
North America
Largest shareIn 2024, North America is expected to account for the largest share of 41.2% of the vaccine market, followed by Europe and Asia-Pacific.
