What Is The Driver Of The Inactivated Vaccines Market?

The increasing prevalence of infectious diseases is expected to propel the growth of the inactivated vaccine market going forward. Infectious diseases are illnesses caused by pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites that can spread from person to person, resulting in a wide range of symptoms and health complications. Tuberculosis is one type of infectious disease. Inactivated vaccines use non-living pathogens to stimulate an immune response, effectively preventing diseases such as polio, hepatitis A and influenza. For instance, in November 2023, according to an article published by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a US-based national public health agency, the number of tuberculosis patients in the USA has increased from 8,320 in 2022 to 9,615 in 2023 indicating an increase of 1,295 cases. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of infectious diseases is driving the growth of the inactivated vaccine industry.
