The global pneumococcal vaccine market size is anticipated to reach USD 12.19 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 6.21% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is primarily driven by the increasing prevalence of target diseases. Pneumococcus is the main cause of invasive disease, pneumonia, and upper respiratory tract infection and can lead to severe sequelae such as deafness, paralysis, intellectual disability, and other serious complications. For instance, in September 2023, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that Streptococcus pneumoniae is responsible for over 300,000 deaths annually among children under the age of 5 worldwide. The majority of these fatalities occur in developing nations. Globally, S. pneumoniae is the primary cause of pneumonia-related deaths, surpassing all other causes combined. The highest number of deaths due to this bacterium is observed in countries located in Africa and Asia.
Increasing government awareness programs regarding pneumonia immunization fuels the market growth. For instance, in September 2023, a survey conducted in September and October 2022 found that there's a need to extend the recommendations for the new 20-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV20) to adults who previously received the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13). The survey showed that healthcare providers need to be more aware of and implement pneumococcal vaccination recommendations better. After considering these findings, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) agreed to update the recommendations in late October 2022.
Moreover, product launches by key players is contributing to market growth. For instance, In October 2022, Merck & Co., Inc. received the European Commission’s (EC) approval for its Vaxneuvance, a pneumococcal vaccine. The approval allows product marketing in 27 European Union (EU) member states and Iceland, Norway, & Lichtenstein. Moreover, in September 2021, Minhai Biotechnology Co. Ltd. received approval from the National Medical Products Administration, China, for its 13-valent vaccine.
Growing R&D for developing novel vaccines boosting the growth of the market. In March 2024, SK Bioscience's announced expansion of its L House vaccine manufacturing facility in South Korea indicates a proactive approach to enhancing vaccine production capacity. This expansion, driven by the joint development of the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine candidate GBP410 with Sanofi, follows positive Phase 2 clinical trial results. SK Bioscience plans to conduct a global Phase 3 clinical trial in 2027, demonstrating a commitment to collaboration and global vaccine development.
