The global pneumococcal vaccine market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The major factor for the growth of the market includes the increasing efforts to curb pneumonia among children in developed countries. Whereas, in the developing countries, the increasing spending on infrastructure and rising awareness towards vaccines, are the factors, which are expected to fuel the market growth during the forecasted period.
According to the report by Jon Hopkins, in 2019, 5 million children died before reaching the age of 5 years, out of which around 25% of children died due to pneumonia or diarrhoea. The developing countries in Asia and Africa contribute to around 70% of the global death burden of children due to pneumonia. GAVI (the vaccine alliance) is working towards vaccinating these children who are living in emerging economies. For many countries including the UK, Canada, Russia, Norway, Bill Gates and Melinda Gates Foundation had contributed around $1.5 billion towards the program. By the end of 2018, more than 183 million children were given shot of the vaccine against pneumococcal.
