2018 to 2022 Monkeypox Treatment Management Demand Analysis vs. Forecast 2023 to 2033

The market for Monkeypox treatment was worth USD 64 million in 2018 while growing at a CAGR of 7.95 % during the historical period. The mounting demand for monkeypox treatment and increasing research for specific treatments for monkeypox led to vast opportunities which will aid in market expansion. Governments around the world are proactively investing in research and development for the development of effective drugs and vaccines to control the growing number of monkeypox cases.

On the other hand, various governments have started promoting genetic engineering for the development of vaccines and have also begun campaigns for spreading awareness about the potential disease cause and prevention. In addition, the rise in healthcare expenditure day by day for advances in the treatment of monkeypox disease will witness profitable growth prospects during the forecast period that will benefit the market in long term.

For instance, In North America and various European countries, approval of two vaccines and antiviral drugs for the treatment of monkeypox, previously used for smallpox treatment and eradication will lead to market expansion in the projected period. The live attenuated vaccine, Imvanex (in Europe) and Jynneos (in the USA) is developed by Bavarian Nordic. Likewise, smallpox shot ACAM2000 was developed by EMERGENT (Emergent BioSolutions). Considering the above-mentioned factors, product approvals and developments, the monkeypox treatment market is projected to reach USD 249 million by 2033, with a CAGR of 10.25%.

Which are Some Prominent Drivers of the Monkeypox Treatment Market?

Surging demand for timely vaccines and potential disease treatments is expected to drive the growth of the monkeypox treatment market during the forecast period. Active investments in the research and development of effective vaccines and drugs to manage disease spread and treat affected patients are driving the growth of this market. Additionally, the government is taking steps to facilitate drug development by utilizing genetic engineering tools in order to provide vaccination in the event that the virus evolves and impacts a massive portion of the populace.

On the other hand, genomic sequencing for the virus would unravel the specific infection-causing sequences, which could help in the early diagnosis of viral infection and the development of effective vaccines for the population at risk of infection in the forthcoming period. Also, increasing healthcare expenditures by the population are fuelling investments for the development of new vaccines, which will drive the global monkeypox treatment market during the projected period. Currently, tecovirimat is the treatment of choice for people treating monkeypox. This is expected to propel growth during the forecast period.

Likewise, EMA’s human medicines committee recommended an extension of the indication of the smallpox vaccine IMVANEX to protect people from monkeypox infection. IMVANEX was approved in 2013 but it has been considered a crucial vaccine because of the similarities between smallpox and monkeypox. Furthermore, increasing Research and development activities and the use of the smallpox vaccine as an off-label product for vaccination against monkeypox are anticipated to propel the market in the forecast period.
