BCG Vaccine Market Overview:
Global BCG Vaccine Market was valued at $20,366 thousands in 2016, and is estimated to reach $28,051 thousands by 2023, growing at a CAGR of 4.6% from 2017 to 2023. Bacillus Calmette-Gurin (BCG) vaccine is the only vaccine currently available for prevention of tuberculosis (TB). In countries with high prevalence of tuberculosis, one dose is recommended for healthy babies close to the time of birth. However, in areas where tuberculosis is uncommon, only children at high risk are typically immunized, while suspected cases of tuberculosis are individually tested and treated. Adults not infected with tuberculosis and who have not been previously immunized but are frequently exposed to drug-resistant tuberculosis may be immunized as well.
The factors that drive the global BCG vaccine market include increase in prevalence of tuberculosis, especially in developing and underdeveloped countries, and technological advancement in the field of vaccine research. Moreover, the increase in government initiatives and focus on immunization programs globally further boost the market growth. However, side effects of BCG vaccine and a global shortage of this vaccine restricts this growth. Untapped market opportunities in developing regions are expected to provide numerous prospects for market development.
BCG Vaccine Market Segmentation
Segment Review
The pediatrics segment held a major share of the BCG vaccine market in 2016, and is expected to maintain its dominance throughout the forecast period. BCG is generally administered to all the infants up to one year of age in countries where BCG vaccination is a part of the national childhood immunization program. In addition, this vaccine can also be given to older children (more than 1 year of age) who have increased risk of developing tuberculosis. It is rarely given above the age of 16, and never administered above the age of 35 as vaccinations are effective only when administered in early stages of life.
