Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/4nt5s9/product_and) has announced the addition of the "Product and Pipeline Analysis of the Global Vaccines Market " report to their offering. Vaccines represent a class of biologics that are administered to prevent infectious diseases to reduce mortality and morbidity. It is estimated that the introduction of vaccines has reduced the incidence of various diseases by greater than 90%. This study examines the global vaccines market, including marketed products and products under clinical development. It also presents an overview of the value chain and regulatory environment, and offers profiles of key marketed and pipeline products. The market is segmented into infectious disease vaccines, cancer vaccines, allergy vaccines, and others (e.g., vaccines for physiological disorders such as diabetes and Alzheimer's disease). The base year is 2013. Key Findings:Vaccines are a class of biologics administered to prevent infectious diseases and reduce mortality and morbidity. - Vaccines are now available for prevention of about infectious diseases. - Coupled with powerful techniques such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), mass spectrometry, and next-generation sequencing, the vaccine industry experienced a paradigm shift resulting in innovation and engineering of novel vaccines such as dendritic cell, DNA, and synthetic. - Infectious disease vaccines-particularly viral vaccines-represent the largest share in terms of products under clinical trial. There is an increased focus on developing vaccines with alternative delivery routes, such as oral and intranasal, to effectively replace the conventional injection method of administration. - One of the hallmarks of vaccine development is the improved understanding of the immune system. As a result, developers are pursuing vaccines for physiological diseases. - Developers also are researching vaccines for emerging infectious diseases such as respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), norovirus, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), Epstein-Barr, malaria, and Leishmaniasis. - The United States, Europe, and Japan represent the largest markets for vaccine manufacturers; however, with increasing healthcare spending and awareness, emerging regions represent the fastest-growing and attractive markets.
