The rise in contagious respiratory illnesses is anticipated to drive the growth of the influenza treatment market. Contagious respiratory diseases, such as influenza, measles, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections, are transmitted through infected individuals, their bodily fluids, or contaminated surfaces. Factors such as dense populations, poor healthcare infrastructure, antibiotic misuse, and increased international travel are contributing to this rise. Influenza treatments include antiviral drugs and vaccines for respiratory illnesses like flu and COVID-19. For example, in September 2023, the CDC reported a surge in RSV-related hospitalizations in the U.S. from 2 to 7 per 100,000 people between August 5-19, 2023. This growing prevalence of contagious respiratory illnesses is driving the market.
