Demand Outlook

The global vaccine market was valued at USD 42 billion in 2020 and it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7-8% from 2020 to 2027 due to the high prevalence of infectious diseases, increasing company initiatives to enhance vaccine R&D, growing government investments for vaccine development, and the rising focus on immunization. According to WHO immunization awareness and government initiatives have helped prevent 2-3 million deaths annually before Covid-19. The recombinant/conjugate vaccine segment is the largest market share of ~55% followed by inactivated and live attenuated vaccines. North America generated more than 35% of revenue of the global vaccine market owing to strong awareness, secure government policies regarding health welfare.

Cost Drivers

Vaccine manufacturing costs can be divided into two segments. Fixed costs and variable costs. Fixed costs include product development, facilities, and equipment costs. Variable costs include consumables, direct labor, licensing/regularization, commercialization, and overhead costs. Vaccine production costs have a significant fixed cost component, reaching up to 90% of total costs. Production costs per unit can be reduced significantly through gains in productivity and economies of scale. Because of the high fixed cost element, the cost of production per dose decreases with increasing batch size. For bulk production, equipment cost is the major cost component with more than 40% share in the overall cost of production. Whereas for lab-scale production the product development and raw material costs plays important role in determining the overall cost of production.
