Prophylactic HIV Drugs Market Snapshot (2023 to 2033)

The anticipated size of the prophylactic HIV drugs market in 2022 was USD 31,278.5 million and is estimated to be USD 32,516.1 million in 2023.

Growth in the market is mainly due to an increase in research and development through investment in HIV clinical trials of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, increasing drug approvals for HIV, and a rise in the incidence of HIV in the population. According to Future Market Insights estimation, the market is predicted to expand at a CAGR of 4.1% between 2023 and 2033, totaling around USD 48,822.4 million by 2033.

The global prophylactic HIV drugs market size reached a valuation of around USD 30 billion in 2021. Due to the rising prevalence of HIV infection worldwide and growing awareness about HIV AIDS prevention, the demand for prophylactic HIV drugs registered a 4% CAGR between 2022 and 2032, totaling over USD 40 billion in 2028.

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has become one of the leading causes of death worldwide affecting millions of people. The virus targets the immune system of infected patients and makes them vulnerable to many infections and cancers.

The condition can be managed through increasing access to effective prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and care although there is no permanent cure available for HIV infection. The rising focus on preventing the acquisition of HIV is one of the key factors pushing the demand for prophylactic HIV drugs.

Prophylactic HIV drugs are advanced therapeutics used to prevent getting HIV infection in certain circumstances as they have been especially effective in preventing the acquisition of HIV from sex and injection drug use.

Amid the rising prevalence of HIV, people across the world are showing a keen inclination toward consuming pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) due to its better effectiveness. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), PrEP reduces the risk of getting HIV from sex and injection drug use by around 99% and 74% respectively.

Prophylactic HIV drugs such as antiretroviral (ARV) are gaining immense popularity due to their ability to prevent and control HIV infection. Additionally, growing awareness among people regarding HIV and the benefits of prophylactic HIV drugs might continue to boost the sales of prophylactic HIV drugs during the forecast period.
