Antiviral therapies involve the usage of drugs for treating diseases caused by viruses only. Most antiviral therapies target specific viruses, but a broad-spectrum antiviral is effective against several viruses. Antiviral drugs inhibit the development of the viruses instead of eliminating them. Antiviral drugs are capable of entering infected cells of the human body and act against the virus and prevent the disease from spreading. Some of the common drugs used in antiviral therapies are amantadine, zanamivir, rimantadine, oseltamivir, ribavirin, and peramivir.
Forecast Analysis of Antiviral Therapies Market
The antiviral therapies market is predicted to grow significantly in the upcoming years due to the augmented usage of antiviral drugs and high rate of viral infections prevailing in today’s time. For instance, according to an article published on WHO (World Health Organization) website, there are almost 390 million cases of dengue infections per year. In addition, the dengue cases reported to WHO seem to have enhanced over eight-fold from the last two decades, from 505,430 patients in 2000 to 2.4 million in 2010, followed by 4.2 million in 2019. Many other viral infections such as HIV or Hepatitis C too have risen in the recent years. These factors pave way for antiviral therapies at a higher rate, thus increasing the global market share.
In another study conducted by CDC (Center for Disease Control), approximately 13.1 million were infected with flu in 2019 and antiviral drugs have proven to be useful in curing 90% of the people infected with the flu. Such examples directly indicate that the antiviral therapies market is expected to boost in the recent years. However, the lengthy process of preparing antiviral drugs and cost associated with it is anticipated to restrain the market growth in the upcoming years. On the other hand, utilization of nanotechnology in the development of cost effective and efficient drugs is likely to create opportunities for the market in the upcoming years. According to a newest report published by Research Dive, the global antiviral therapies market is expected to upsurge with a healthy CAGR of 3.1% from 2020 to 2027. Furthermore, the North American market is projected to witness rapid growth in the recent years due to a substantial rise in the geriatric population.
