The U.S. influenza vaccines market, by Vaccine Type (Trivalent Vaccines and Quadrivalent Vaccines), by Virus Type (Influenza Virus Type A and Influenza Virus Type B) and by Age Group (Pediatrics and Adults) was valued at US$ 1.6 billion in 2016 and is projected to exhibit a CAGR of 15.9% over the forecast period (2017-2025), as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights. The U.S. influenza vaccines market is expected to gain significant traction owing to easy availability of different vaccines, which include adjuvanted inactivated vaccines, live-attenuated vaccines, seasonal influenza vaccines, and pandemic influenza vaccines. The transition from trivalent to quadrivalent vaccine formulations due to extensive research and development, to offer better protection against flu strains is a major factor to augment growth of the U.S. influenza vaccine market over the forecast period.

Innovative technologies to augment the influenza vaccine production and reduce shortage is expected to propel the market growth

Manufacturers are focusing on product development by using innovative technologies such as adopting novel recombinant and cell-based vaccine production technologies to increase their supply capacity by. For instance, Protein Science Corporation received FDA approval for Flubok Trivalent Vaccine for use in the U.S. market in 2013. Flubok is the only influenza vaccine produced using recombinant technology, which offers advantages such as timely and fast vaccine production as the technology is not dependent on egg supply for vaccine production and is safe for individuals with egg-related allergies. Also, in 2016, Seqirus received FDA approval for Flucelvax quadrivalent, indicated for people aged 4 years and above. Flucevax is a four strain, inactivated seasonal influenza vaccine, which is produced using cell culture technology at the Holly Springs Facility in the U.S. The vaccine was recommended by the World Health Organization and the Food and Drug Administration for the 2016 influenza season, in order to help protect against two influenza virus strains, which include A strains and B strains.
