The global HPV vaccine market is expected to observe a robust growth rate of more than 7% during the forecast period. The HPV vaccine is the first vaccine developed specifically targeting the prevention of cervical cancer. Over 200 million doses have been administrated globally. HPV vaccines are used to cure most cervical cancers associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) a sexually transmitted infection. Extensive immunization with the HPV vaccine could reduce the impact of cervical cancer and other cancers caused by HPV globally.
According to the Centre for Disease Control (CDC), the HPV vaccine should be given to children of ages 11 and 12 and can be given as early as 9. The growing prevalence of HPV-associated diseases, initiatives taken by global health organizations like “GAVI”, and the rising number of HPV awareness programs are some of the key factors responsible to fuel the demand for HPV vaccines across the globe. Moreover, high-income countries (HICs) will make up most of this growth, HICs represent approximately 80% of the HPV vaccine market value. However, limited product offerings in various countries are anticipated to act as a barrier to the growth of the global HPV vaccine market.
The 9-Valent Vaccine (Gardasil 9) is dominating the global market
The 9-Valent Vaccine (Gardasil 9) segment is expected to dominate the global HPV vaccine market followed by Quadrivalent Vaccine (Gardasil). Since 2016, only 9-Valent Vaccines is distributing in the US. The reason behind the significant demand for the 9-valent vaccine is this vaccine protects against nine HPV types (6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58) and is safe and also reduces the further incidence of HPV infections as well as HPV related cancer.
Herd immunity can also be used to protect those who have not received a vaccination. The majority of cervical malignancies can be avoided with an efficient immunization program. Studies reveal that the original quadrivalent HPV vaccine and the 9-valent HPV vaccine are both cost-effective for female patients. Consequently, Bivalent Vaccine (Cervarix) segment is expected to hold a nominal share in the global HPV vaccine market.
Sub-Saharan Africa is a high-potential market for manufacturers across the globe
North America is expected to hold a prominent share of the global HPV vaccine market owing to the rapid adoption of the HPV vaccine across the region. Even in countries like US and Canada where the population has access to ideal sanitation and hygienic conditions cervical cancer is controlled through HPV vaccination. The Asia Pacific is expected to gain significant growth during the forecast period due to the growing incidence of HPV diseases.
Countries like India, and China recorded a sudden increase in the number of cervical cancer cases which directly led to the rising demand for the HPV vaccine in the region. Australia was the first country to introduce the HPV vaccine. In India first HPV vaccine is developed in 2022.
Moreover, there is a potential market for manufacturers in low-income countries. Sub-Saharan Africa has made limited progress in the implementation of HPV vaccines owing to weaken social mobilization over time, inadequate reminder and tracking systems, and vaccine hesitancy. Additionally, public demand for the HPV vaccine may be influenced by the level of knowledge, awareness, and attitude of various stakeholders involved in the HPV vaccination program. According to WHO, In Europe, more than 66,000 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer and more than 30,000 of them die annually from cervical.
In the UK, researchers found that the HPV immunization program has almost eliminated cervical cancer in women born after 1 September 1995 and who were vaccinated at age 12−13. Incidence among these women of late-stage grade 3 CIN that could later develop into cancer has also been significantly reduced.
