REPORT SCOPE
INTRODUCTION
STUDY OBJECTIVES
BCC’s goal in conducting this study is to provide an overview of the current and future characteristics of the global market for human and animal (veterinary) vaccines and related vaccine technologies. The key objective is to present a comprehensive analysis of the current market and its future direction in the human and animal (veterinary) vaccines market with their utilization and employment in preventing and/or treating infectious diseases.
This report explores present and future strategies within the human and animal (veterinary) vaccines market, including attenuated (live) vaccines, inactivated (killed) vaccines, conjugate vaccines, recombinant/recombinant DNA (rDNA) vaccines, subunit vaccines, toxoid vaccines, and combination vaccines. The current state of the market, the setbacks, the innovations, and the future needs of the market are discussed in this report. A general overview of vaccines, and related technologies used currently and in the past are discussed in the report.
A detailed analysis of the vaccine industry structure has been conducted. This includes all seven major categories of vaccines broken down by market share belonging to leading manufacturers and/or suppliers. Revenues for each of the seven categories of vaccines are broken down by region. Sales figures are estimated for the 5–year period from 2010 through 2015.
Applications for human and animal (veterinary) vaccines, as to their prophylactic or therapeutic use are also discussed separately in the report, with emphasis in the meningococcal/pneumococcal vaccines, influenza vaccines, pediatric vaccines, adult/adolescent vaccines, travel vaccines, and others. The report also includes significant patents and their allotments in each vaccine technology category.
REASONS FOR DOING THIS STUDY
This study was conducted to provide vital and detailed information regarding human and animal (veterinary) vaccines. The vaccines industry is experiencing growth due to new products hitting the market as well as a general increase in public awareness and more standardized immunization schedules. This study was conducted to provide detailed market analysis of human and animal (veterinary) vaccines along with the different factors affecting this market. While the vaccines market was affected by the global economic downturn, it retained steady growth and new developments are expected to further influence the market.
Acquisitions, mergers, and alliances by companies and global organizations are covered in this report. The study also discusses the strengths and weaknesses of each category of vaccines in addition to any new technologies/developments, manufacturer/supplier competition, as well as changing immunization coverage rates.
INTENDED AUDIENCE
This study contributes to the areas of market growth in preventing some disease types through vaccination from the point of view of manufacturers and users. Clinicians, physicians, the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries, hospitals and research institutes will find this study to be of interest.
SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The scope of this study encompasses the vaccine human and animal (veterinary) markets. BCC analyzes each market and its applications by its need for disease type requiring vaccination, regulatory environment, technology involved, market projections, and market share. Technological issues include the latest trends and developments.
METHODOLOGY
Both primary and secondary research methodologies were used in preparing this study. BCC conducted a comprehensive literature search, which included technical newsletters and journals, and many other sources. Data were collected through interviews and correspondence with various analytical/chemical/pharmaceutical/biotechnical experts. Projections were based on estimates such as the current number of end users, potential end users, mergers and acquisitions, and market trends.
INFORMATION SOURCES
Many companies within the industry were surveyed to obtain data for this study. Included were manufacturers and end users of pharmaceuticals. Data were gathered from various industry sources. BCC spoke with officials and physicians within the industry, consulted newsletters, company literature, product literature, and a host of technical articles, journals, indexes, and abstracts. Exhaustive investigations of databases by key terminology were completed. In addition, data were compiled from current financial, trade, and government sources.
