Market Challenges

• The herpes treatment market experiences high generic penetration due to patent expiries and governmental support. This trend has led to price competition, decreasing revenue for branded drug vendors. European countries and US states have implemented generic substitution policies, increasing generic usage and reducing pharmaceutical expenses. Prevalence of herpes virus has risen, driving antiviral treatment growth to 63.6%. However, the cost per episode has decreased from USD139.61 to USD98, challenging market expansion.
• The herpes treatment market faces several challenges. Genetics and remedies are key areas of focus. The identification of specific genes related to herpes is crucial for developing effective treatments. However, the complexity of the virus makes it difficult to find a definitive cure. The use of vaccines and antiviral medicines is common, but resistance to these treatments is a growing concern.
• Additionally, the high cost of these treatments and the lack of accessibility in developing countries pose significant challenges. The market is also impacted by regulatory requirements and ethical considerations. The need for continuous research and development is essential to overcome these challenges and provide effective solutions for herpes sufferers.
