The global malaria vaccines market size is expected to reach USD 1,619.87 million by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Malaria Vaccines Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report: By Vaccine Type, Administration Route (Subcutaneous and Intramuscular), Target Population, Immunization Schedule, Development Stage, and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa) – Market Forecast, 2025–2034” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.
Malaria is a serious, life-threatening disease caused by Plasmodium parasite, which is transmitted from human to human by the bite of infected mosquitoes. This mosquito-borne illness causes severe disease in kids and adults. Pregnant women and children are particularly vulnerable to the fever caused by malaria. Various precautions to control the disease include the use of insect nets and spraying of pesticides. However, current research studies have shown that insects are immune to pesticides, pesticides have harmful effects on human beings, and malaria fever is becoming immune to medications. In response to these challenges, researchers and pharmaceutical companies have been working on the development of malaria vaccines as an alternative method of prevention.
Several factors, such as the rising incidence of malaria worldwide and the introduction of low-cost malaria vaccines by pharma companies globally, are driving the malaria vaccines market growth. Rising awareness about the disease’s consequences and ongoing research and development (R&D) initiatives are further supporting the market development.
Growing efforts by government and private organizations to address the issues of weak supply chains and distribution networks in some malaria-endemic developing countries are expected to boost the adoption of malaria vaccines. Rising inoculation programs and emphasis on the development of innovative vaccine technologies are expected to provide several malaria vaccines market opportunities in the coming years.
