The inactivated vaccines market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size for inactivated vaccines has been consistently increasing in the last few years. It is expected to rise from $6.19 billion in 2024 to $6.44 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.0%.
The expansion during the historical timeframe was propelled by initiatives aimed at eradicating polio, influenza immunization schemes, the emergence of infectious diseases, and regulatory approvals.
The inactivated vaccines market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size for deactivated vaccines is predicted to experience consistent expansion in the upcoming years, reaching a value of $7.75 billion in 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7%.
This growth during the forecast period is due to preparedness for pandemics, increased vaccine coverage, advancements in biomanufacturing, and initiatives for health equity. Significant trends during this period are expected to include mRNA vaccine platforms, combined vaccines, thermostable vaccines, and digital vaccine passports.
The rise in infectious diseases is anticipated to catalyze the growth of the inactivated vaccine industry in the coming years. These diseases, caused by pathogens like bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites, can be easily transmitted from one person to another, leading to a variety of symptoms and health issues. Tuberculosis, for example, is a common infectious disease. Inactivated vaccines employ dead pathogens to trigger an immune response, which helps prevent diseases such as polio, hepatitis A, and influenza. As per an article from the US-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in November 2023, the count of tuberculosis patients in the USA had surged from 8,320 in 2022 to 9,615 in 2023, indicating an increase of 1,295 cases. Consequently, the escalating prevalence of infectious diseases is fueling the expansion of the inactivated vaccine market.

Leading firms in the inactivated vaccines market are striving to maintain their market presence by launching advanced and innovative inactivated vaccines. These vaccines consist of inactivated virus particles, bacteria, or other pathogens, which are cultured and subsequently killed to eliminate the disease-causing ability. For example, the UK-headquartered pharmaceutical and biotechnology firm, GSK PLC, launched an innovative inactivated vaccine called Shingrix in January 2022, aimed at improving protection against shingles (Herpes zoster). Shingrix, an intramuscularly administered non-live, recombinant subunit adjuvanted vaccine, was initially indicated for individuals aged 50 years and above. More recently, the scope of Shingrix has been widened to include individuals aged 18 and above who are at an increased risk of getting shingles due to immunosuppression or immunodeficiency associated with specific illnesses or treatments.
