Market Drivers

Doctors have pointed out that RSV infection has a very high incidence rate. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) almost every child below the age of 2 years gets infected because of RSV. This is expected to surge the demand for pediatric respiratory syncytial virus infection.

Furthermore, the recovery period for the RSV infection is around 1 to 2 weeks among infants. Even during this period, the virus remains inside the body and is communicable as well. This might as well indicate a positive effect on pediatric respiratory syncytial virus infection adoption trends.

Furthermore, there are numerous children who suffer because of pneumonia and bronchitis. The health experts are of the view that pneumonia and bronchitis are one of the most common respiratory syncytial virus symptoms. Based on the statistics, among the infants and children, nearly 25 out of 40 children who suffer from RSV exhibit signs of pneumonia and bronchitis.

Additionally, the healthcare experts are also developing new antiviral therapies. Based on recent studies, new long-acting monoclonal antibodies for RSV have demonstrated promising results. For example, Novovax’s RSV F Vaccine is in phase 3 trials. This is expected to influence market for pediatric respiratory syncytial virus infection

However, the cost associated with the management of respiratory syncytial virus treatment is quite high, and this might challenge the market growth. Further, the absence of a definitive treatment is also expected to hamper the market growth. Furthermore, the side effects associated with treatment, coupled with the limited efficacy of the drug in certain cases is expected to have a negative impact on the market.
