Global Meningococcal Vaccines Market: Restraints

Significant variations in the incidences and epidemiology of meningococcal disease have been observed both geographically and over time. Thus, broad coverage targeting as many serogroups as possible is needed. The risk associated with travelers is unpredictable making it more difficult to provide evidence-based vaccine recommendations. Such scenario is expected to hinder growth of the market.

Moreover, meningococcal vaccination is optional in several countries, which is also expected to limit the market growth.  

Global Meningococcal Vaccines Market: Opportunities 

Development of vaccines that do not depend on very narrow range temperatures for storage is expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities for players in the market. Till date, there is only one meningococcal vaccine- MenAfriVac that has been approved for use outside the cold chain.

Development of vaccines through collaborations and public private partnerships is also expected to aid in market growth. The innovative MenAfriVac meningococcal vaccine was developed through collaboration between the PATH-WHO Meningitis Vaccine Project, an Indian vaccine manufacturer Serum Institute of India Ltd., and public health officials in India and several African countries. The development was aimed at providing an effective, long-term, and affordable solution to epidemics caused due to meningococcal disease in the African meningitis belt. Such initiatives are expected to aid in development of affordable meningococcal vaccines.

The global meningococcal vaccines market was valued at US$ 2,965.9 Mn in 2019 and is forecast to reach a value of US$ 7,732.3 Mn by 2027 at a CAGR of 12.7% between 2020 and 2027.
