HIV Drugs Global Market Report 2024

The hiv drugs market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $33.82 billion in 2023 to $35.33 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.5%. The growth observed in the historical period can be ascribed to heightened government support and initiatives, an upswing in healthcare expenditure, an increase in spending on HIV research and development, a rise in the incidence of HIV infections, heightened awareness, and economic growth in emerging markets.

The hiv drugs market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $41.2 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.9%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be credited to heightened government support and initiatives, an upswing in healthcare expenditure, increased spending on HIV research and development, a rise in the incidence of HIV infections, heightened awareness, and economic growth in emerging markets. Major trends expected in the forecast period include the investment in 3D bioprinting technology, innovations in new product development, the creation of multi-class combination products for HIV treatment, and the pursuit of strategic collaborations and agreements.

The global HIV drug market has experienced growth, fueled by the novel COVID-19 outbreak. HIV drugs are being repurposed to combat COVID-19 infections, with antiretroviral drugs such as lopinavir boosted with ritonavir (LPV/r) being evaluated and used in several countries for treating COVID-19 infections.

The increased awareness among people regarding the diagnosis and treatment of HIV disease plays a crucial role in propelling the growth of the HIV drug market. HIV/AIDS, being one of the most chronic diseases, has garnered significant awareness worldwide due to its high prevalence. For example, in May 2023, a report from the Minnesota Department of Health, a US-based state health agency, indicated an 8% increase in reported instances of newly diagnosed HIV infections, totaling 298 cases in 2021. Various federal government agencies and global associations have introduced numerous initiatives and education campaigns to raise community awareness about HIV prevention, treatment, and care.

The anticipated increase in government spending is poised to drive the growth of the HIV drugs market in the future. Government spending, also referred to as public spending or government expenditure, encompasses the total funds allocated by a government to finance its various functions, programs, and services. Elevated government funding contributes to diverse aspects of the HIV drug market, spanning research and development, enhancing access and awareness, and mitigating the societal and economic impact of the disease. Such investments play a pivotal role in fostering the market's expansion and overall efficacy in combating the HIV or AIDS pandemic. As an illustration, in March 2023, the US government's Budget of the U.S. Government report revealed that Joe Biden's Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 budget proposal allocated $850 million in funding for the CDC, HRSA, IHS, and NIH to support and expand the implementation of the Ending the HIV Epidemic in the U.S. initiative. This marked a substantial increase of $277 million (48%) compared to the funding level enacted in FY23. Hence, increased government spending is a driving force behind the growth of the HIV drug market.

The antiretroviral drugs market is increasingly adopting multi-class combination products for antiretroviral therapy. Multi-class combination drugs consolidate multiple medications into a single drug form. Examples of such drugs or single-tablet regimens (STRs) encompass both NRTIs and NNRTIs, such as doravirine, lamivudine, and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (Delstrigo). The segmentation of drugs based on drug class includes Integrase Inhibitors, Protease Inhibitors, Multi-class Combination Products, Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NRTIs), Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NNRTIs), and Others. The rise in the burden of HIV and new drug approvals propels the use of multi-class combination products. According to WHO, in 2021, 1.5 million [1.1-2.0 million] people contracted HIV, and 650,000 [510,000-860,000] people died from HIV-related causes. Many companies are prioritizing the development of innovative products for the treatment of HIV through antiretroviral drugs to maintain their competitive edge and expand into new regional markets.

Major companies in the HIV drugs market are innovating by introducing new products, such as drugs for multi-drug resistant HIV, aiming to cater to larger customer bases, increase sales, and boost revenue. Drugs for multi-drug resistant HIV (MDR-HIV) are designed specifically to treat HIV infections in individuals who have developed resistance to multiple classes of antiretroviral drugs. As an example, in December 2022, Gilead Sciences Inc., a US-based pharmaceutical company, announced FDA approval for Sunlenca (lenacapavir). This medication, with a multi-stage mode of action, distinguishes itself from recently approved antiviral agent classes. It has no known in vitro cross-resistance to other existing medication classes. Sunlenca provides a new, twice-yearly therapy option for adults with HIV not adequately controlled by their current medication regimen. Lenacapavir serves as the foundation for Gilead's upcoming HIV treatments, offering a range of long-acting options to accommodate individual needs and preferences, potentially maximizing outcomes and reducing the burden of care.
