Research Highlights

The study covers innovation across the vaccine development spectrum, including manufacturing processes (e.g., cell-based and recombinant vaccines), new delivery systems (e.g., needle-free), as well as novel candidates and improvements to existing vaccines (e.g., use of improved platforms or adjuvants). The study also covers mRNA technology and its significant potential for rapid and versatile manufacturing, reduced industrialization costs for multiple vaccines, and the improved breadth of immune response for infectious disease vaccines. Additionally, the study captures the competitive landscape and the different strategies employed by companies to stay ahead of the curve. It also identifies the game-changing companies that are leading innovation from the front. Acknowledging that the market continues to remain oligopolistic, with 4 companies leading the pack, the study identifies opportunities for mid and small segment companies to tap this market. Vaccines have a high entry barrier for generic players and there is a potential to generate blockbuster sales (as established by Pfizer’s Prevnar and GSK’s Gardasil), which make the market lucrative for new players.

The study lays down strategic imperatives for companies to recalibrate their business models and be future ready. In conjunction with the core manufacturers, the research service also provides in-depth analysis of other ecosystem stakeholders such as logistic service providers, contract manufacturers, investors, and advocacy groups. Information is also given on some of the leading M&A activities impacting the market as well as unconventional collaboration agreements laying the foundation for propelling innovations toward licensure and delivery. Furthermore, present and future market trends like increasing price transparency and vaccines affordability, which would shape the market, have been discussed.
