Global Adult Vaccines Market Overview:
Vaccines are biological preparations that are administered in an individual’s body to establish immunity to a particular disease. Adult’s immunity deteriorates over time, putting them at risk of contracting new infectious diseases. The vaccine contains some part of the disease-causing agent, which is either weakened or killed to the point that it cannot cause harm to the human body.
Global Adult Vaccines Market Dynamics:
The increasing prevalence of contagious diseases globally is the major factor driving the market growth.
Growing occurrences of contagious diseases such as influenza, hepatitis, zoster etc. and initiatives undertaken by the government to spread awareness about the importance of vaccination are the primary factors that encourage the adult vaccines market growth. In addition, the government's increasing partnerships with pharma and biopharma companies to develop novel vaccines would benefit the adult vaccines industry's growth in the forecast years.
Apart from the government, non-governmental organisations are also now educating and encouraging adults to get vaccinations. During the forecast period, the presence of several NGOs is expected to be a driving factor in rising demand for adult vaccines in the global adult vaccines market. The WHO and UNICEF have issued recommendations on implementing a national immunisation programme in order to ensure that everyone in the world is vaccinated.
All of these recent trends are expected to boost the global adult vaccines market. In recent times, there is an upsurge in infectious diseases such as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), Ebola virus, Zika virus and others, which has increased the demand for the administration of vaccine worldwide.
However, certain factors like high healthcare expenditure, lack of skilled professionals and stringent government regulations may restrain the adult vaccine market from growing. Along with this, limited production of vaccine and various side-effects associated with the vaccine such as muscular aches and fever may impact negatively the market growth.

Global Adult Vaccines Market Segment Analysis:
The global Adult Vaccines Market is segmented on the basis of vaccine type, application and end-users.
Based on Vaccine Type, the inactivated vaccine segment is expected to dominate the global market during forecast years. The increasing awareness of people about the advantages of vaccination is expected to aid the segment growth. Other features of inactivated vaccines such as long shelf life and high stability also contribute to the segment growth.
In comparison to other conventional vaccines, the DNA vaccine is expected to develop at the fastest rate over the forecast period, owing to its high specificity and lower risk of introduction into the genome.
Based on Application, the influenza segment holds a dominant market share. The segment dominance is attributed to the rising prevalence of various infections caused by the influenza virus such as acute respiratory syndrome, sinus problems, pneumonia and others. In the United States alone, influenza causes 36,000 annual deaths, and the total number of hospitalizations associated with influenza is estimated to be 226,000. The live influenza vaccines tend to be equivalent to TIVs in terms of preventive efficacy (trivalent, inactivated influenza vaccines.)
