Respiratory Syncytial Virus is also known as Human respiratory syncytial virus is a contagious virus that affects the respiratory tract and increases the lung's infection in the body. The virus is mostly found in children. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), One to two out of every 100 children younger than 6 months of age with RSV infection may need to be hospitalized. As per data provided by the National Institute of Health (NIH), globally RSV affects more than 64 million people each year. The report on the Global Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) market provides a comprehensive analysis of market opportunities, market dynamics, and the competitive landscape of the industry. 

According to the findings, the global respiratory syncytial virus burden was 33.1 million in 2015, resulting in 3.2 million hospitalizations and 59,600 child deaths. Respiratory syncytial virus, as per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), can cause hospitalizations in one to two out of every hundred children under the age of six months. RSV has few medications available and just a few have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Due to its property of broad spectrum of antiviral action in vitro, where it suppresses RSV replication, Virazole has been approved by the FDA and is predicted to see demand growth at the highest CAGR of nearly 16% amongst the available drugs. Moreover, there are several steps taken by the government for the management and control of respiratory syncytial viral infection. These government-supported proactive welfare programs are creating lucrative opportunities for market growth. For instance, in order to reduce the burden of RSV infections, the World Health Organization initiated a new campaign called the BRaVe (Battle Against Respiratory Viruses) initiative. The BRaVe Initiative is aimed at catalyzing multidisciplinary research on strategies to prevent and treat medically important respiratory virus infections, with the goal of incorporating scientific advances and technical innovations into public health practice as soon as possible. Though the respiratory syncytial virus is a rare disorder; its impact can be seen around the globe. Among the different geographic regions studied in the report, North America is projected to have the largest share, around 38%. The high share is due to the high rate of infection in the area. In the United States alone, nearly all children become infected with RSV by age 2, with 75,000 to 125,000 of them hospitalized each year. Furthermore, increased access to treatment is projected to boost demand for respiratory syncytial virus medicines in the region.

Covid-19 Impact Analysis

The global respiratory syncytial virus market size is expected to reach $4,202.6 Mn by 2027. The pandemic has brought in a revolutionary shift in the healthcare industry. Life science companies are involving end-users in trials and drug designs, and companies are inevitably relying on the latest pharmaceutical innovations to create digitally-driven medical solutions. Seasonal viruses, such as respiratory syncytial virus, spread through similar channels to Covid-19, and public health authorities and the government are taking effective measures to control the spread. The report includes a covid-19 impact study, providing a shift in growth trends for both pre-covid and post covid sentiments. 

Report Glimpse

The market has observed tremendous growth with the increasing prevalence of respiratory syncytial virus and the development of targeted therapies is propelling the growth of the global respiratory syncytial virus market. Targeted therapies like monoclonal antibody-related therapies whose repetitive treatment reduces hospitalization cases to more than half. Conversely, the advanced technologies used in the treatment regimens are responsible for increasing the cost of various treatments. Also, the lack of availability of point-of-care (POC) diagnostic instruments is a major barrier in the growth of the market, as the virus medicines are mostly available in developed regions such as North and South America and Europe.
