The Global Meningococcal Vaccines Market Continues To Grow Owing To the Demand from Healthcare Care Sectors across the World to Prevent the Spread of the Diseases Especially In Children
Meningococcal vaccines prevent the contraction of meningococcal diseases, including meningitis caused by the bacteria called meningococcus aureus. An outbreak of meningococcal disease is usually followed by an onset of meningitis. Meningococcal meningitis can cause permanent damage to the brain or spinal cord in as little as 10 days, depending on the degree of infection and the natural immunity of the person. Since meningitis is usually associated with a fever and signs and symptoms of a serious illness, many parents prefer not to use the traditional treatments for their children such as meningitis or oral antibiotics. Instead, they often resort to various forms of therapeutic interventions that may even improve their chances of developing a positive outcome.
Meningococcal
vaccines are now available for meningococcal meningitis, as well as for men who
have had other prior bouts of meningitis. Some vaccines used for these purposes
are PPSV, Rallo, and Q fever type 1. These vaccines have been proven to be
highly effective in preventing meningitis outbreaks and other meningeal
disorders. They can also help boost a person’s immune system to increase his
ability to fight off other viruses and diseases. It is important for a man with
an unresponsive or weak immune system to receive an oral meningitis vaccine
since he may still be at risk for contracting meningococcal diseases. Moreover,
receiving an oral meningococcal vaccine can boost chances of developing a
positive pregnancy outcome, thereby improving the fertility.
Market Dynamics
The
main driving factor influencing the growth of the meningococcal vaccines market
is the increased number of people journeying to sub-Saharan Africa. For
instance, according to a 2018 report by World Economic Forum, 87.4 million
arrivals were recorded in the region s of Sub-Saharan Africa. Moreover, various
regulatory bodies recommending meningococcal vaccination is also estimated to
propel the market growth. For instance, the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) has recommended meningococcal vaccines for teens and preteens.
However,
notable variations in epidemiology and incidences of meningococcal vaccines
have been recorded in various places. The risks associated with tourists are
unpredictable and that makes it tougher to provide proof-based recommendations
of the vaccines and this is acting as the main restraining factor hindering the
market growth. Moreover, meningococcal vaccines are optional in many nations
and are expected to hinder market growth.
This
market is distributed in five regions that include North America, Europe,
Asia-Pacific, Middle East, and Africa, and Latin America. Among these, North
America is expected to hold a bigger share of the meningococcal vaccines market
owing to the favorable support and recommendation from the government and high
investments in the research and development sector. For instance, in 2019
December, National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI), published some
scientific data and recommendations regarding Trumenba, which is a MenB-fHBP
vaccine. The meningococcal vaccines market in the Asia Pacific is estimated to
witness significant growth owing to the rapid initiatives taken by governmental
and authoritarian bodies to fight against the increasing prevalence of the
disease and the growth of the pediatric population.
