Global Herpes Zoster Treatment Market 2019-2023
About this market
With the emerging innovative vaccines for disease management, there is a growing demand for herpes zoster treatment drugs. Until the development of vaccines, the treatment for herpes zoster was dependent completely on drug therapies. However, vendors have been focusing on developing several new therapies for the treatment and prevention of shingles. For instance, in October 2017, Shingrix was launched by GlaxoSmithKline for the treatment of shingles. The vaccine is much more effective than ZOSTAVAX, which was the only approved vaccine for shingles in older adults. Technavio’s analysts have predicted that the herpes zoster treatment market will register a CAGR of almost 14% by 2023.Market Overview

Patients being treated for cancer and affected with advanced HIV infection are at a greater risk of developing shingles, which is expected to boost the growth of the global herpes zoster treatment market.
Weak pipeline for herpes zoster
The number of herpes zoster pipeline agents are very limited despite the growing incidence of the infection worldwide, which is likely to hamper the growth of the global herpes zoster treatment market.
