North America is likely to continue its dominance in the virus-like particles market during 2021–2028. The US holds the largest share of the market in North American and is expected to continue this trend during the forecast period. This is primarily attributed to commonly observed susceptibility of people toward viral infections, such as viral influenza caused by different variants. Moreover, continuous R&D activities required for the manufacturing of live attenuated vaccines compels biopharmaceutical companies to opt for virus-like particle’s, which further supports the market growth.

Market Insights

Commercialized virus-like particles based Vaccines drives the overall market growth

According to a report published by the Frontiers Media S.A., the first virus-like particles -based vaccine was designed to combat a deadly virus, Hepatitis B, and virus-like particles -based vaccines have produced promising safety results compared to traditional vaccines. The first commercialized virus-like particles -based vaccine was against HBV. Also, the commercial anti-HBV vaccines, namely, "Engerix" manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline and "Recombivax HB" manufactured by Merck & Co. were approved in 1980, and they were all virus-like particles. The next commercially available virus-like particles -based vaccine was "Gardasil," which was approved in 2006 to prevent human papillomavirus (HPV) infections. Further, virus-like particles are also used in veterinary medicine. The first commercially available veterinary vaccine based on virus-like particles was proven effective against porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2).

The role of virus-like particles in the development of immunotherapy products against allergic diseases further stimulates the overall market growth. virus-like particles are used in the treatment of allergic rhinitis, asthma, and dust mite reactions. The aforementioned factors drive the growth of the overall virus-like particles market exponentially. virus-like particles vaccines have shown rapid immune response with mild skin reaction as side effects.

Product Type-Based Insights

Based on product type, the virus-like particles market is segmented as hepatitis, cancer/HPV, and Gaucher disease. The hepatitis segment would account for a large market share during 2021–2028. The Frontiers S.A. report pinpoints that hepatitis C virus (HCV) infects 2% of the global population, and it is a leading cause of liver disease and liver transplantation. This medical threat can partially be addressed by the introduction of new antiviral therapies. For example, a vaccine with 50–80% efficacy, targeting high-risk intravenous drug users, dramatically reduces HCV incidence among the population. Therefore, virus-like particles represent a safe and highly immunogenic vaccine delivery platform that induces an adaptive immune response. Several virus-like particles -based vaccines are currently in clinical trials; however, licensed VLP vaccines for HBV and HPV have been in use since long. Thus, virus-like particles based vaccines have proved their effectiveness relating to favorable immunological characteristics and making them one of the promising HCV vaccines.

Source-Based Insights

Based on source, the virus-like particles (VLP’s) market is segmented into yeast, insect cell, plant, and others.  The yeast segment holds a considerable market share and is projected to continue the similar trend during the forecast period. virus-like particles are produced by heterologous expression systems, involving yeast or baculovirus, as well as plants and bacteria. Safety of virus-like particles -based vaccines produced using yeast expression systems contributes to the growth of the market for the yeast-based virus-like particles.

Application -Based Insights

By application, the virus-like particles market is segmented as vaccines and therapeutics. The vaccines segment would hold a considerable share of the market in 2021, and it is likely to continue its dominance in the market during the forecast period as well. Vaccination is considered as one of the most effective ways of controlling pathogens and preventing diseases, both in humans and animals. virus-like particles -based vaccines represent one of the most appealing approaches owing to their intrinsic immunogenic properties and safety. For example, virus-like particles are noninfectious, multimeric antigens having a particulate structure, suitable for the induction of safe and efficient humoral and cellular immune response. Apart from that, virus-like particles vaccines have proved their effectiveness in veterinary field. virus-like particles are only composed of one or more structural proteins without presence of genomes of native viruses and non-ability for self-replication in cells. However, virus-like particles containing either monovalent or multivalent antigen can be produced in compliance with the requirement for serological surveillance, the utility of virus-like particles vaccines proves promising in the veterinary field. One such example of utilizing virus-like particles vaccines under Differentiating Infected from Vaccinated Animals (DIVA) vaccination strategies against animal diseases.

Companies operating in the virus-like particles (VLPs) market adopt the product innovation strategy to meet the evolving customer demands across the world, which also permits them to maintain their brand name in the global market.
