Antiviral drugs belong to the class of medicines, which used for treating viral infections, such as HIV, herpes, hepatitis, and influenza. These drugs are generally administered in the form of vaccines. In addition, most of these drugs are used for specific viral infections, while a few (broad-spectrum antiviral drugs) are effective against a wide range of viruses.
The global antiviral drugs market is 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, are expected to propel the market growth. However, high cost involved in drug development and growth in the demand for alternative medicines such as naturopathy and homeopathy restrain the market growth. Moreover, development of broad-spectrum antibiotics 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.
