The viral inactivation market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
•In the past few years, the viral inactivation market has experienced a robust growth. It is projected to expand from $5.01 billion in 2024 to $5.48 billion in 2025, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4%.
Factors such as global air traffic growth, improved navigation capabilities, expansion of commercial aviation, cost savings in the airline industry, enhanced flight safety, and decrease in pilot workload have all contributed to the growth observed in the historic period.
The viral inactivation market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the coming years, the viral inactivation market is anticipated to experience swift expansion, reaching a value of "$8.28 billion in 2029 with a CAGR of 10.9%.
This surge during the forecast period can be linked to the evolution of autonomous flight, new-age aircraft designs, endeavours for eco-friendly aviation, urban air mobility (UAM), and the growing need for aircraft. The forecast period is also expected to witness trends such as the inclusion of sophisticated avionics, the application of artificial intelligence, innovations in human-machine interface (HMI), retrofitting of current aircraft, and the introduction of a global navigation satellite system (GNSS).
The escalation in the emergence of diverse infectious diseases is projected to fuel the viral inactivation market's growth trajectory. These diseases, which transmit through tainted food and drinks, and pathogens like bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites, necessitate the use of viral inactivation. This technique is extensively used in managing human diseases to neutralize viruses via physical and chemical disinfectants, thereby thwarting the dissemination of infectious viral diseases and escalating the growth of the viral inactivation market. Such an instance was recorded in March 2024 when the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a stateside public health agency, reported that the count of tuberculosis cases rose from 8,320 in 2022 to 9,615 in 2023, reflecting an increase of 1,295 cases. The rate also spiked from 2.5 per 100,000 individuals in 2022 to 2.9 in 2023. Consequently, the burgeoning frequency of various infectious diseases bolsters the expansion of the viral inactivation market.

The viral inactivation market is experiencing a significant upward trend driven by the increasing adoption of sophisticated processes. In order to maintain their competitive edge, firms in this sector are incorporating these state-of-the-art methods into their operations. A prime example of this is WuXi Advanced Therapies, a fully-owned subsidiary of WuXi AppTec, a biopharmaceutical firm based in China. In March 2022, the company introduced a new technology known as Tetracycline-Enabled Self-Silencing Adenovirus (TESSA). This innovative technology allows the company to concurrently execute all assay formulation, biosafety, viral clearance, product release, and testing within their own organization. Notably, this method offers an entirely novel way to produce adeno-associated virus (AAV) at Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) grade, eliminating the necessity for transfection.
