Market Overview:
Antiviral drugs are therapeutics used to treat infectious diseases caused by viruses such as influenza, hepatitis, herpes, HIV, and others. These drugs inhibit the replication of viruses inside host cells. The major classes of antiviral drugs include reverse transcriptase inhibitors, protease inhibitors, fusion inhibitors, and neuraminidase inhibitors. These drugs target specific stages of viral replication cycles to generate antiviral responses. The increasing need for therapeutics to treat life-threatening viral infections drives the growth of the antiviral drugs market.

Market key trends:
The increasing prevalence of viral infections have driven demand for more effective antiviral therapies over the past decade. One key trend gaining traction in the antiviral drugs market is the development of long-acting antiviral therapies. Companies are focusing on developing antiviral drugs that provide longer protection against viral infections compared to conventional short-acting drugs. For instance, GlaxoSmithKline's cabotegravir is a long-acting injectable HIV therapy developed to be administered every 2 months vs daily oral anti-retroviral regimens. Such formulation advances help drive patient adherence to treatment regimens.
Here is the sample Segment Analysis and Key Takeaways for the given Antiviral Drugs Market research report:
