Introduction to Human Papillomavirus Vaccine (HPV)

HPV vaccines protect against infections that are caused by human papillomaviruses. It is a group of more than 200 related viruses, out of which more than 40 are spread through direct sexual contact. Some HPV types cause genital warts and about a dozen can cause various types of cancer, for instance, cervical, vulvar, penile, anal, vaginal cancer and many more types of cancer. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved mainly 3 types of vaccines that are known to prevent HPV disease namely, Gardasil, Gardasil9, and Cervarix. These vaccines prevent infections of HPV 16 and HPV 18, high risk HPVs that can cause 70% of cervical cancers.

Growth Drivers

Increasing Prevalence of Various Types of Cancers

There is an increase in the number of people suffering from various types of cancers worldwide. According to Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), HPV is commonly transmitted infection in U.S. About 90% of anal and cervical cancers, 70% of vulvar and vaginal cancers and 60% of penile cancers are caused by human papillomavirus infection. Additionally, about 14 million people are infected by HPV every year in U.S. This is expected to drive the growth of the HPV vaccine market during the forecast period.

Increased Participation in Initiatives

According to the Cancer Council Australia, most of the schools in Australia have participated in the National Papillomavirus Vaccination Program. Among young women and girls in Australia, more than 9 million doses of HPV vaccines have already been given and this initiative led to 90% decrease in genital warts among heterosexual men and women under the age of 21 years and 50% (approx.) decrease in high grade cervical abnormalities in girls under the age of 18 years. This increased participation is expected to drive the growth of the market.

Restraints

High Price and affordability

The price of the HPV vaccine is very high and is subject to variations. This factor remains a concern for countries to budget necessary funds for long term. Moreover, people may not be able to afford such high priced vaccines which may lead to severe effects of the diseases caused by HPV. This is expected to hinder the growth of the HPV vaccine market during the forecast period.
