The overall market experienced a decline in 2020 owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. The net sales of Menactra, Menveo, Nimenrix, Trumenba, and Bexsero were negatively impacted in 2020. However, the market is expected to grow at a positive Y-o-Y growth rate in 2021 due to increasing initiatives by government and regulatory authorities to combat the rising prevalence of meningitis. For instance, in May 2019, the Ministry of Health of Ireland approved MenACWY vaccine to be provided to thousands of teenagers in Ireland, due to the rising prevalence of meningitis in 2018.

Various campaigns and awareness programs are being organized by government & non-government organizations, such as the National Meningitis Association (NMA), Meningitis Research Foundation of Canada, Meningitis B Action Project, and others. These organizations help in promoting continuous research and new approaches involved in disease prevention. Hence, these factors are anticipated to fuel the meningococcal vaccine market growth in the coming years.

The presence of non-profit organizations providing support for research projects, training to healthcare professionals, and offering information & help to patients is anticipated to accelerate market growth. For instance, in August 2021, DoSomething.Org and National Foundation for Infectious Diseases (NFID) introduced the “Complete What’s Missing Program”. The program’s goal is to educate young people about the importance of Meningococcal Disease Prevention.

The presence of phase III vaccines in the pipeline which are expected to be commercialized over the forecast period is anticipated to fuel the market growth. For instance, in June 2020, Pfizer, Inc. initiated phase III clinical trials of PF-06886992, a pentavalent meningococcal vaccine candidate (MenABCWY) to assess & compare the safety, immunogenicity, and tolerability with licensed meningococcal vaccines in adolescents and young adults.
