COVID-19 Current Therapy Global Market Report 2024

The COVID-19 current therapy market size has declined steeply in recent years. It will decline from $11.73 billion in 2023 to $5.87 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -50.0%. The decline in the historic period can be attributed to limited treatment options, varying treatment efficacy, supply chain disruptions, rapidly evolving scientific knowledge, emergence of variants.

The COVID-19 current therapy market size is expected to see steep decline in the next few years. It will decline to $2.34 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -60.1%. The decline in the forecast period can be attributed to global vaccine rollout impact, long-term effects and chronic cases, regulatory and market access challenges, global economic factors. Major trends in the forecast period include investing in developing monoclonal antibody therapies, convalescent plasma therapies, cell-based therapies, and antiviral therapies, collaboration with government institutions and undergoing strategic partnerships with other pharmaceutical companies.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly contributed to the growth of the COVID-19 current therapy market. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak a global pandemic, and as of August 2022, reported global COVID-19 cases had reached 581.8 million. With no officially approved drug for COVID-19, there has been a substantial demand for repurposed drugs used in corona therapy. Countries worldwide are grappling with drug shortages, prompting manufacturers to scale up production to meet the surging global demand. The COVID-19 Treatment Acceleration Program (CTAP), initiated by the FDA, is a special emergency program designed to expedite the development of potential COVID-19 therapies for swift availability to patients.

The anticipated growth of the COVID-19 current therapy market is also driven by the expansion of healthcare infrastructure. The healthcare industry plays a crucial role in integrating sectors that provide products and services for curing, preventing, rehabilitating, and offering palliative care to patients. A robust healthcare infrastructure is essential for the effective implementation of COVID-19 therapies, ensuring timely patient care, supporting research and clinical trials, and providing essential resources for optimal treatment delivery. As an illustration, in May 2023, the American Health Care Association reported an increase in the number of hospitals in the US from 6,093 in 2022 to 6,129. Additionally, a report by the UK's Office for National Statistics revealed a 9.4% increase in healthcare spending in the UK between 2020 and 2021 in nominal terms, and a 9.7% increase in real terms. Hence, the expansion of the healthcare industry is a key driver propelling the growth of the COVID-19 current therapy market.

Convalescent Plasma Therapy has emerged as an experimental treatment for COVID-19 patients, involving the use of blood plasma from individuals who have recovered from the disease, known as convalescent plasma (CP). CP therapy is a passive antibody therapy where the isolated plasma, containing antibodies from recovered patients, is administered to individuals with severe disease to suppress virulence and improve clinical symptoms. The blood plasma of recovered COVID-19 patients contains antibodies that can combat the infection. The FDA recommends CP Therapy as an investigational product during public health emergencies. Approximately 2,004 participating sites adhering to a single expanded access protocol by the US FDA had been registered, with around 7,774 patients enrolled, and 3,809 of them undergoing convalescent plasma transfusion. The experimental nature of convalescent plasma therapy continues to attract attention, with its potential effectiveness depending on sufficient supporting data.

Major companies are intensifying their focus on introducing innovative products to gain a competitive edge. One such innovation is the development of COVID-19 oral antiviral treatments. Antiviral treatments are designed to inhibit the replication and spread of viruses within the body. For example, in November 2021, Pfizer Inc., a US-based pharmaceutical company, launched PAXLOVID, a novel oral antiviral candidate for COVID-19. The Phase 2/3 EPIC-HR study assessing PAXLOVID's efficacy demonstrated a consistent safety profile, making it suitable for patients treated within three days of symptom onset. Interim analysis indicates that PAXLOVID has the potential to save lives, reduce the severity of COVID-19 infections, and prevent up to nine out of ten hospitalizations.

In October 2021, Sanofi and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals announced plans to commence clinical trials using the rheumatoid arthritis medication Kevzara (sarilumab) for managing COVID-19 symptoms. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted approval for Kevzara's use in treating rheumatoid arthritis. This drug is part of an ongoing collaborative effort between Sanofi and Regeneron focused on antibodies. Kevzara, a fully human monoclonal antibody, functions by obstructing the interleukin-6 (IL-6) pathway through binding and inhibiting the IL-6 receptor. IL-6 potentially contributes to the exacerbated inflammatory response observed in the lungs of severely or critically ill COVID-19 patients. Following a comprehensive evaluation by the Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) of available Phase 2 and Phase 3 data, adjustments to the trial will prioritize enrolling only critical patients to receive Kevzara at a dosage of 400 mg.
