Global Oropouche Fever Market - 2024 - 2032

The global oropouche fever market reached US$ XX million in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ XX million by 2032, growing at a CAGR of XX% during the forecast period 2024-2032.

Oropouche fever caused by the oropouche virus (OROV) is predominant in Central America, South America, and the Caribbean region. The virus spreads to humans through biting midges and mosquitoes.

The common symptoms of oropouche fever are similar to dengue and include high fever, chills, headache, rashes, persistent nausea and vomiting, and myalgia. In some patients, oropouche fever can cause meningitis, neuroinvasive disease (~4% of infected patients will develop symptoms such as dizziness, lethargy, photophobia, occipital pain, nystagmus, nuchal rigidity), Guillain-Barré syndrome (incidence is rare, but some people develop GBS after an oropouche infection) and Infection in pregnant women may cause fetal abnormalities or fetal death.

Market Dynamics: Drivers & Restraints

The rising incidence of oropouche fever

The rising incidence of oropouche fever is the significant driver for market growth in the forecasted period. Although there are no approved antivirals or vaccine candidates for oropouche fever, the majority of the infected patients rely on supportive treatments like pain and fever medication, fluid treatment, and rest. As the incidence increases the number of population opting for treatment rises, propelling the market growth positively. Till 2023, the oropouche fever was found to be localized in Brazil and some South American countries, however, the recent outbreak in 2024, has spread to other countries like U.S. and Canada.

For instance, from January 1 to November 25, 2024, nearly 11,634 diagnosed cases and 2 deaths were reported in 10 countries and 1 territory of the Americas. New countries which have not previously reported any cases have reported the outbreak in 2024. The highest number of cases are reported in Brazil, accounting for 9,563 patients, including 2 deaths from January 1 to November 25, 2024.

The infection may not severely affect the health of some populations, but is a significant threat in pregnant women leading to fetal death, and congenital anomalies in the born baby. Several such cases were reported in Brazil and Cuba. This has alarmed the health agencies in American countries, making them implement strict surveillance programs and preventative measures to control the infection spread.

A lack of approved therapies may restrain market growth.

The treatment of oropouche fever completely relies on supportive care. The lack of approved therapies may limit the treatment rate, as experimental or off-label treatments may often fail to cure the infection. Moreover, a lack of approved therapies may impede the physician's decision while choosing the right treatment algorithm. This can significantly hinder the treatment rate, and also limit the market growth.

Segment Analysis

The global oropouche fever market is segmented based on treatment type and region.

Antipyretics & analgesics in the treatment type segment dominate the market

Antipyretics are the drugs that treat fever, and analgesics are the drugs that treat pain- the two most common symptoms of oropouche fever. There are no established drugs or vaccines for oropouche fever, and the treatment completely relies on supportive care. The primary goal of treatment is to alleviate the symptoms and provide adequate rest and fluids to the patient. Antipyretics and analgesics are the drugs that can treat these symptoms. As per the recent article published on October 25, 2024, by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), supportive treatment with antipyretics and analgesics is the current mainstay option for oropouche fever.

Geographical Analysis

South America is expected to hold a significant share of the oropouche fever market.

South America dominates the current market for oropouche fever due to the localization of the majority of cases in the region.

The other regions have not yet reported any cases, except 101 cases in the U.S., and 2 cases in Canada. This signifies the infection prevalence in the South America region and its dominance in the global market.
