Which are Some Prominent Drivers of the Encephalitis Treatment Market?

Growing Incidences of Encephalitis to Drive the Market Growth

The major factor attributing to the growth of the market is the high mortality and morbidity rate caused due to the incidence of encephalitis virus. Furthermore, increasing government initiatives for vaccination programs is boosting the market. For instance, according to the World Health Organization as of April 28, 2022, 37 human cases of Japanese encephalitis (25 laboratory-confirmed cases and 12 probable cases) had been documented in four Australian states.

As the number of cases and fatalities rises, individuals must take preventive measures such as immunization, which increases demand for encephalitis treatment, thereby boosting market growth.

The rise in the incidences of cancer will act as a major driver that will result in the expansion of the growth rate of the market. When the body is fighting cancer, certain immune system illnesses might induce encephalitis which will increase the occurrence rate of encephalitis.

Growing Investment for Healthcare Infrastructure to Boost the Market Growth During Forecast Period.

Another significant factor influencing the growth rate of the encephalitis treatment market is the rising healthcare expenditure which helps in improving its infrastructure. Also, the increase in the popularity of physical therapy across the globe will enhance the growth of the encephalitis treatment market. Furthermore, rising initiatives by public and private organizations to spread awareness and growing government funding are the factors that will expand the encephalitis treatment market.

Other factors such as an increase in the demand for effective therapies and rising spending on public health programs will positively impact the encephalitis treatment market's growth rate.

Additionally, high disposable income, a rising geriatric population, and changing lifestyles will result in the expansion of the encephalitis treatment market. Increasing research and development activities and increasing investments by government and private organizations will boost new opportunities for the market's growth rate.

For instance, in August 2021, Pfizer received United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) approval for Tick-Borne Encephalitis (TBE) Vaccine named TICOVAC. It can produce neutralizing antibodies against the TBE virus in the wild. TICOVAC contains albumin, a human blood product. It carries a very low risk of transmission of viral illness and variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) transmission because of efficient donor screening and product production processes.

Which factors are limiting the growth of the Encephalitis Treatment Market?

Lack of Skilled Professionals May Hamper the Market Growth

Although the encephalitis treatment market has numerous end-uses, there are numerous obstacles that likely pose a challenge to market growth.

The high cost associated with the treatment and the lack of infrastructure in low-income countries will impede the growth rate of the encephalitis treatment market. Additionally, the dearth of skilled professionals will hinder the encephalitis treatment market growth. Less awareness among patients will further challenge the market in the forecast period mentioned above.
