Avian Influenza Vaccine Market Size, Share, Growth Analysis, By Strain(H5, H7, and H9), By Application(Chicken, Turkey, and Goose & Duck), By Region - Industry Forecast 2024-2031

Drivers

Rise in Rate of Diseases

• Avian influenza can be defined as a disease caused by avian influenza virus type-A. This virus is commonly found in waterfowl and can infect domestic chickens and other bird species. Based on viral surface proteins, subtypes of influenza type A viruses can be classified into neuraminidase (NA) and hemagglutinin (HA). Based on their molecular characteristics and ability to cause disease and death in chicken avian influenza viruses are classified as highly pathogenic and low pathogenicity but both in poultry, high prevalence is reported. Nonpathogenic bird flu viruses show no signs of illness. Only mild diseases such as egg decline and wildflies show it. However, infection with the highly pathogenic influenza virus is associated with high mortality.

Growing Incidence of Poultry Mortality

• Increasing incidence of disease, especially in developing regions, is a major cause of mortality in more than 90% of poultry farms. High demand for poultry vaccines, ongoing research to develop effective vaccines, and rising incidence of infectious diseases contribute to the global influenza vaccines market but these vaccines rapid deterioration at room temperature in two hours makes it unsuitable for transport to remote villages. Furthermore, according to the U.S. According to the Department of Agriculture (U.S. DA), currently available vaccines do not meet efficacy requirements and therefore, should not be used to treat avian influenza outbreaks.

Restraints

Viral Mutational Challenges

• The rapid mutation rate of avian influenza virus presents a challenge to maintain vaccine coverage. There are ongoing research opportunities to understand the dynamics of the virus and to improve the quality of vaccines accordingly.

Global Distribution Challenges

• Global avian influenza vaccination, especially in poultry-rich areas, remains a challenge. There are also opportunities for collaboration in the distribution system to overcome access barriers.

Health Approach

• Development opportunities are based on a single approach to health that considers the links between human, animal and environmental health. This holistic approach is necessary to manage the complexity of avian influenza.
