Major trends in the forecast period include integration of nanotechnology, clinical trials for innovative combinations, collaborations for research and development, application of artificial intelligence in drug discovery, strategies for overcoming drug resistance.

The surge in viral diseases' occurrences is poised to drive the expansion of the antiviral combination therapy market in the forthcoming years. Viral diseases, stemming from microscopic infectious agents known as viruses, necessitate effective treatment approaches. Antiviral combination therapies play a crucial role in mitigating drug resistance risks and bolstering treatment efficiency. For instance, as of June 2022, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported a staggering 354 million individuals globally afflicted by hepatitis B or C infections, with an annual influx of 1.5 million new hepatitis C cases. This surge in viral infections underscores the imperative for advanced antiviral combination therapies to address these escalating health challenges.

The escalating demand for personalized medicine is set to fuel the growth of the antiviral combination therapy market. Personalized medicine, tailored to an individual's genetic or protein makeup, revolutionizes disease prevention, detection, and treatment. Variances in genetic compositions among individuals influence responses to antiviral therapies, prompting the need to identify these distinctions and optimize treatment strategies. For instance, in 2022, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) greenlit 12 personalized medicines, constituting roughly 34% of all newly approved therapeutic molecular entities, as highlighted by the Personalized Medicine Coalition. This burgeoning demand underscores the significance of tailoring treatment approaches, fostering the rise of the antiviral combination therapy market.

The market for antiviral combination therapy sees a rising focus on product innovation. Key companies are actively engaged in developing novel technological solutions to fortify their market standing. Gilead Sciences, Inc., a US-based biopharmaceutical firm, received FDA approval in December 2022 for Sunlenca (lenacapavir) in combination with other antiretroviral(s) to treat heavily treatment-experienced (HTE) adults with multi-drug-resistant (MDR) HIV-1 infection.

Major companies in the antiviral combination therapy market are concentrating on innovative solutions, such as antiviral therapies, to enhance treatment efficacy, improve patient outcomes, and tackle the increasing challenge of viral resistance. Antiviral therapies are treatments aimed at inhibiting the development or replication of viruses, thus managing viral infections. For example, in October 2023, Gilead Sciences, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company based in the US, formed a partnership with Assembly Biosciences Inc., a US-based biotechnology company, to develop innovative antiviral therapeutics aimed at serious viral diseases. This collaboration is focused on the research and development of novel antiviral therapies, initially concentrating on Assembly Bio's established areas, which include herpesviruses, hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis D virus (HDV).

In February 2023, Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corporation, a US-based pharmaceutical company specializing in the development of novel therapies and vaccines for central nervous system disorders and infectious diseases, successfully acquired a preclinical infectious disease portfolio from Healion Bio Inc. for $1.2 million. This strategic acquisition is aimed at expanding Tonix Pharmaceuticals' overall portfolio, incorporating a range of next-generation antiviral technology assets. The newly acquired assets include a class of broad-spectrum small molecule oral antiviral drug candidates with a novel host-directed mechanism of action. These candidates can be utilized either as monotherapy or in combination with other antivirals. Healion Bio Inc., the source of the acquired portfolio, is a US-based biotechnology company dedicated to the manufacturing and development of medicines for the treatment and prevention of infectious diseases.

Antiviral combination therapy is a strategic approach involving the use of multiple antiviral medications to effectively address viral infections. This method enhances treatment outcomes by targeting various stages of the virus's life cycle, ultimately minimizing the risk of drug resistance.

The primary categories of antiviral combination therapy are branded and generic. Branded antiviral combination therapies are medications manufactured and marketed under a specific brand name by the manufacturer, holding regulatory approval through a new drug application. These formulations typically consist of a combination of two or more antiviral agents and are employed in treating diverse viral infections, including Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), hepatitis C, and influenza. Examples of branded antiviral combination therapies include Atripla, Harvoni, Complera, Symfi Lo, and Xofluza. These combinations incorporate various drug classes, such as nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors, non-nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors, integrase inhibitors, nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors, and protease inhibitors. They are administered through oral and intravenous routes and are distributed through hospital pharmacies, retail pharmacies, and other channels for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis, and other viral indications.
