The virology market size was USD 2.06 billion in 2021 and is expected to register a revenue CAGR of 5.0% over the forecast period.

Rising prevalence of viral diseases, such as Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), Ebola, pox, influenza, Nipah virus, and others and surge in cases of viral diseases generating demand for more doses of vaccines and more disease detection kits are major factors driving market revenue growth. Virology is the discipline of science that deals with study of viruses and viral diseases. According to World Health Organization (WHO), morbidity and mortality value of HIV was 38.4 million and 0.65 million respectively in 2021.

WHO also reports that global fatality (mortality) rate for Ebola virus is approximately 50%, SARS-CoV-2is 2.2%, Nipah virus is 40% to 75%, and Marburg virus disease is 23%-90%. Every year around 1 billion cases of influenza are reported globally, among which 3 to 5 million cases are severe and 0.29 to 0.65 million cases among them lead to influenza-based respiratory deaths. This high fatality rate owing to influenza or influenza-based diseases is generating significant demand for developing drugs for emergency usage. Furthermore, decrease in rate of mortality determines better success rate of vaccines. These are factors driving demand for manufactured vaccines by generating a level of trust among people.

Monkeypox outbreak in 2022 is creating several opportunities for virology product manufacturers. According to WHO, fatality rate of monkeypox is 3% to 6%. Though this virus has affected primarily central and western African countries, it is projected to spread in other regions as well. These factors are providing growth opportunities for virology market players to invest in new product development. In addition, increase in global funding is another factor driving revenue growth of the market. For instance, Government of France has funded USD 14.02 billion to WHO for prevention of HIV among other diseases. In March 2020, a fund of USD 3.0 billion has been jointly funded by governments of the US, Netherlands, and Switzerland, as a part of their COVID-19 Response Mechanism (C19RM). Also, a fund of USD 500,000 was raised by ViiV Healthcare Ltd., a joint venture by Pfizer and GSK, to the U.S., as an emergency response to monkeypox outbreak. This global funding is aiding a new platform for research & development in vaccine and drug technology, which ultimately leads to launch of novel anti-viral products, in turn, driving market revenue growth. Various multinational companies, such as QIAGEN, Bavarian Nordic, Sinopharm, Pfizer Inc., and Serum Institute of India Pvt. Ltd., are rapidly investing in making vaccines and diagnostic kits, for meeting demand of the virology market.

Driver: Increased Food And Drug Administration (FDA) approvals and funding in Research & Development (R&D)

Rapid rate of mutation of viruses results in Multiple Drug Resistance (MDR), which is driving revenue growth of the market. With increased variation in strains of different viral species, new scope for viral research and drug discovery is generated, which ultimately leads to an enhanced platform for production of new batches of vaccines. In 2022, The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved an array of anti-viral vaccines and rapid diagnostic test kits. For instance, ID NOW molecular diagnostic test kit for influenza virus can provide results within 5 to 13 minutes. It can make patients avoid unnecessary use of antibiotics. DIGIVAL is a digital platform that precisely reads and interprets lateral flow test results and delivers automated and objective results in seconds. Influvac Tetra 2021/2022 is an inactivated, quadrivalent influenza vaccine launched in 2021. Approval of these virology products is significantly driving market revenue growth. Moreover, U.S. FDA has also approved oral anti-viral pills, such as Lagevrio and Paxlovid, which have been launched by Merck and Pfizer respectively. FDA has also approved vaccines RotaTeq and Rotarix for rotavirus. Investments in virology product R&D are further contributing to market growth. The UK Government has funded around GBP 1.6 million to researchers at Pirbright Institute, for conducting vaccine research, which includes development of anti-viral vaccines such as Nipah and Ebola virus disease vaccines. These funding are facilitating high-end research works and increasing revenue of the virology industry as well. These factors are expected to drive demand for virology products over the forecast period.

Restraint: High cost of upstream and downstream processing of anti-viral vaccines

Production of anti-viral vaccines is heavily cost intensive, which is associated with production of virology products such as installation of expensive upstream and downstream facilities and procuring rare and costly raw materials. Also, highly skilled workers, scientists, and researchers are required to operate manufacturing and research & development facilities. According to United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the market price of FDA-approved vaccine for Ebola virus disease is USD 98.60 per vial as of 2022. FLUZONE, the FDA-approved vaccine for influenza costs USD 56.62 per vial in 2022. Higher prices of vaccines are an impediment for a middle-class and low-income group of patients. These factors are restraining revenue growth of the market.

COVID-19 Analysis:

High morbidity and mortality rate of COVID-19 is a major factor driving revenue growth of the virology market. Following the outbreak of this pandemic, there has been a significant surge in virology research & development accompanied by manufacturing of anti-viral products including vaccines. According to WHO, 60.2 million cases of COVID-19 affected patients have been reported, among them, 6.4 million patients have been reported dead in 2022. One of the major causes of this high rate of infectivity is D614G mutation in viral genome. In addition, increasing rate of infection has created high demand for doses of vaccines globally. Top multinational pharmaceutical companies have launched several vaccines such as mRNA-1273 by Moderna, BNT162b2 by Pfizer BioNTech, VLA2001 by Valneva, ChAdOx1-S [recombinant] vaccine by AstraZeneca, and others. During COVID-19 various vaccine-manufacturing companies are involved in developing disruptive innovations and constructing ultra-modern vaccine facilities to meet high demand in the market.
