Market Overview

Herpes simplex is a highly transmitted virus that mostly affects a larger population through skin-to-skin contact and saliva from infected people. It is known to last for a week to ten days but is known to infect periodically with the painful blisters. The increased risk of infection from others underscores the sustained demand for herpes simplex virus treatment. Researchers are showing interest in innovating treatments for the herpes simplex virus.

  • For instance, in May 2023, a study published in ACS publications developed a molecule that can treat lesions due to the shingles virus. It showcased significant potential to treat genital and oral herpes.

Moreover, there are ongoing concerns about the herpes simplex virus, primarily HSV-2, due to its chance of transmission through sexual contact. According to the World Health Organization, HSV-2 increases the chance of getting and spreading HIV infection. The ongoing efforts by governments and non-government organizations to curb HIV infections are anticipated to bolster the need for herpes simplex virus treatment in the global market.

Growth Drivers

  • The rising infection rate in the world.

The increasing population at the global level is creating a need for sophisticated healthcare infrastructure along with the development of new biopharmaceutical products to cure health problems. The higher rate of transmission of the herpes simplex virus is necessitating the development of new medical products. According to the World Health Organization, around 3.7 Bn people aged below 50, which constitutes 67% of the global population, are expected to be infected by the HSV-1 infection. This trend is boosting the demand for hsv 2 treatment throughout the forecast period.

  • The rising studies exploring cell and gene therapies are driving the market growth

The emergence of gene and cell therapies has led to their utilisation for the treatment of various diseases, including cancer, cardiology, kidney-related problems, and more. This ongoing trend is showing significant opportunities for researchers to explore generative medicine to cure the herpes simplex virus. For instance, in 2022, a study published in BioRxiv focused on developing gene therapy for herpes and identified a reduction in the transmission of the virus in mice. As research activities continue to rise, there will be a chance of generating the most efficient treatment to treat herpes simplex virus.

Restraining Factors

Regulatory hurdles are likely to impede market growth.

The chance of errors in the testing of the herpes simplex virus by healthcare providers is likely to underestimate the herpes simplex tests in the marketplace. In December 2023, the Food and Drug Administration announced the potential of HSV-2 to produce false positives for genital herpes simplex infection. This can hamper the new hsv2 medication demand in the global market.

By Type Analysis

Herpes Simplex Virus-1 (HSV-1) segment is projected to witness the highest market growth during the forecast period.

The herpes simplex virus-1 segment is projected to witness the highest market growth during the forecasted period, mainly driven by a higher rate of infection contact with other people due to saliva. In the U.S., around half of the population is infected by HSV-1, while 30% of people get infected by HSV-2. This trend is contributing to the HSV-1 segment herpes simplex virus treatment market share.

By Drug Analysis

The Valacyclovir segment accounted for the largest market share in 2023

The valacyclovir segment held the highest market share in 2023 and is expected to maintain this position throughout the entire forecast period. Its effective antiviral medicine is mostly used to get relief from herpes viruses, including cold sores, shingles, and more. One of the advantages of valacyclovir is that it can offer a longer period of action. The acyclovir segment is expected to grow at the fastest rate over the next few years on account of its capability to lessen the length of the outbreak of the herpes simplex virus and its severity among infected people.

By Route of Administration Analysis

The oral segment registered the dominant share in the global market analysis in 2023.

The oral segment held the largest share in the herpes simplex virus treatment market over other routes of administration and is likely to retain its market position during the forecast period. This can be related to the rising incidence of oral ulcers among the population due to herpes simplex virus.

By End-use Analysis

The retail pharmacy segment registered the largest market growth over other end-use segments in 2023.

The retail pharmacy segment witnessed a larger share among other end-use segments and is expected to continue its growth trajectory in the coming years.

The online pharmacy segment is expected to witness significant growth in the coming years, driven by the rising prevalence of telemedicine in the marketplace after the COVID-19 outbreak. 

Regional Insights

North America region registered the largest share of the global market analysis in 2023

The North American region dominated the global market. Region’s dominance is due to the rising number of people infected with the herpes simplex virus.
