The global anti-viral therapies market size was valued at $38,316.5 million in 2018, and is projected to reach $46,213.4 million by 2026 registering a CAGR of 2.4% from 2019 to 2026.Anti-viral drugs are pharmaceutical products used in treating several viral infections by either eliminating the viral strain or restraining its ability to multiply and replicate within the human body. These drugs find applications in treating various diseases such as influenza, Hepatitis, HIV, and herpes. The use of anti-viral drugs in antiretroviral therapies and influenza anti-viral therapies for treatment of several viral diseases is expected to impact positively on the growth of the anti-viral therapies market.
The global antiviral therapies market is majorly driven by increase in the incidence rate of viral infections. In addition, rise in R&D activities and development of newer & advanced formulations, such as vaccines and combination therapy along with pipeline products are expected to propel the market growth. However, high cost involved in the treatment and rise in demand for alternative medicines such as naturopathy and homeopathy are expected to restrain the market growth. On the contrary, development and approvals of combination therapies and growth opportunities in the emerging economies of Asia-Pacific and LAMEA regions are expected to provide numerous opportunities for the market growth during the forecast period.

Application segment review
Based on application, it is categorized into HIV, hepatitis, herpes, influenza, and other viral diseases. HIV segment was the largest revenue contributor to the anti-viral therapies market in 2018 and is expected to continue to this trend during the forecast period, owing to increase in incidences of HIV globally. For instance, as per the data published by UNAIDS, in 2017, around 37 million of the global population is living with HIV. The prevalence of HIV among the adults was estimated to be 0.8%. Therefore, increase in consumption of HIV anti-viral drugs for combating infection is the major factor that drives the growth of anti-viral therapies market for HIV segment.
Type segment review
On the basis of type, the anti-viral therapies market is classified into generic drugs and branded drugs. The branded drugs segment was a major revenue contributor to the anti-viral therapies market in 2018 and is expected to continue its dominance throughout the forecast period, owing to availability of large number of branded drugs for treating various viral infections. Furthermore, higher prescription rate accompanied with higher drug prices is ultimately resulting in high revenue generation.
By Type
Branded drugs segment is projected as one of the most lucrative segment.
Mechanism of action segment review
On the basis of mechanism of action, it is divided into nucleotide polymerase inhibitors, reverse transcriptase inhibitors, protease inhibitors, and others. The reverse transcriptase inhibitors segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period, owing to increase in FDA drug approvals for treating viral infections by reverse transcriptase inhibitor mechanism.
North America dominated the global antiviral therapies market in 2018 and is expected to continue its dominance throughout the forecast period, owing to growth in incidences of infectious diseases across the region. For instance, as per the data published by CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), in 2020, the number of diagnoses of HIV infection in the U.S. were 38,281 (2017) and number of new hepatitis A, B, and C were 3,365, 3,409, and 4,225, respectively in 2017. Moreover, the number of deaths due to influenza were 6,515. In addition, the presence of well-established pharmaceutical players that are involved in the manufacturing of the anti-viral therapies and increase in awareness among the population are expected to drive the anti-viral therapies market growth in this region.
By Mechanism Of Action
