Pneumococcal diseases are the diseases caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria. These include pneumonia, meningitis and sepsis. The market for pneumococcal vaccines is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.9% over the forecast period, i.e., 2020-2028. This can be attributed to the high prevalence of these diseases in children as well as the elderly. The market is segmented by vaccine, by age group, by end user and by region, out of which, the vaccine segment is bifurcated into pneumococcal conjugate vaccine and pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine. The segment for pneumococcal conjugate vaccine is anticipated to observe the highest growth in the market and hold the largest share during the forecast period as a result of rising infant care awareness among people. Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCV) are administered to infants, usually till the age of one, at regular intervals. This is estimated to raise the demand for PCV in the market in the next few years.

Based on geographical analysis, the pneumococcal vaccine market is segmented into five major regions including North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Middle East & Africa. The market in North America is anticipated to hold the leading share on the back of rising demand for efficient disease prevention through vaccine. Moreover, the market in Asia Pacific is predicted to grow on account of improving healthcare infrastructure and development of advanced and cost-effective vaccine.

Rising Sales of Vaccine to Boost the Revenues and Drive the Market Growth

Currently, only two vaccines have been approved for sale by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Prevnar 13 and Pneumovax 23. Pfizer, a leading pharmaceutical company that develops and manufactures Prevnar 13, reported a revenue of USD 5,847 million globally from the pneumococcal 13-valent conjugate vaccine in 2019.
