Herpes Zoster Market Trends

• Growing incidence of chickenpox to propel market growth

The varicella-zoster virus (VZV), which also causes varicella, reawakens and produces HZ (chickenpox). The WHO estimates that each year there are roughly 4.2 million cases of varicella with serious complications and 4,200 fatalities as a result. Yet, among unvaccinated groups, a subsequent attack rate of more than 70% has been reported. Furthermore, as of 8 June 2022, 1,536 suspected cases with 72 deaths had been recorded from eight countries, citing the WHO, and 59 confirmed cases had been during this same time from six nations. The rise in the incidence of chickenpox boosts consumer demand for the shingles vaccine and post-herpetic neuralgia treatment, which is propelling the herpes zoster market. Thus, this factor is driving the market CAGR.

However, another major trends boosting the market growth is the emergence of novel vaccinations for disease management. Herpes zoster was entirely managed with pharmacological therapy up until the development of vaccinations. Vendors have concentrated their efforts on creating a number of novel medicines for the management and prevention of shingles, nevertheless. For instance, Merck's V 212 is now undergoing Phase III evaluation as a potential treatment for varicella-zoster. In immunocompromised patients, the molecule has been found to significantly lower the risk of developing herpes zoster by 64%. In the US, as well as some other European and Asian nations, the vaccine has already finished its Phase III trials. It is anticipated to be released in a few years. These new vaccines should be more effective at treating and preventing herpes zoster. Furthermore, it is anticipated that they will be sold for less than the ones that are already on the market. In turn, this will fuel market expansion over the duration of the forecast. Thus, it is anticipated that this aspect will accelerate herpes zoster market revenue globally.
