Rubella is also known as three-day measles. It is an infection which is caused by the rubella virus. Rubella is a viral and contagious infection that profoundly affects children and is infected due to the transfer of airborne drops of the transmitted individual through sneezing and coughing. The person who suffers from rubella must face many consequences, such as cough, rash, fever, headache, and many complications, such as viral infection resulting in death or congenital disability known as congenital rubella syndrome. The virus multiplies in the respiratory tract and is transferred to others via respiratory secretion by aerosolized droplets in a closed sections like schools and offices. This disease's symptoms appear 10-12 days after the infection, more likely fever. Rubella is prevented through the MMR vaccine, protecting against three diseases: measles, mumps, and rubella. According to the recommendation of the CDC, children between 12 and 15 months are to be given the first dose, and between 4 and 6 years old must be given the second dose of the vaccine. As far as teenagers and adults are concerned, they are supposed to be up to date on the MMR vaccine.

MARKET DRIVERS:

The rubella vaccine is expected to gain a large market in the coming years as the disease has been proven only by vaccination, and no other specific treatment is available.

The global rubella vaccine market is expected to have high market growth during the forecast period due to government and non-government activities. Disease indications in the vaccine market include rotavirus, hepatitis, polio, varicella, meningococcal disease, MMR, Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) infection, influenza, pneumococcal disease, Diphtheria, Tetanus and Pertussis, and others. In addition, the increasing incidence of pneumococcal infections propels the growth of the rubella vaccine market. Furthermore, due to the global support from WHO and other NGO partners, which have rightly helped in extensive immunization coverage and advanced immunization, the global rubella vaccine market is anticipated to be profitably driven over the forecast period. This is because, in every 1,000 births, four babies were born with congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) before the introduction of the vaccine, which afterward showed, 97% efficacy even with the single dose people, leading to the recommendation of national use of routine rubella vaccination in children by WHO since 1980. This resulted in the introduction of CVR in their immunization package of 152 countries out of 194.

YOY rise in the incidence of rubella is propelling the market growth.

Increasing incidence of rubella infection worldwide, nearly 100000 infected persons are affected by rubella annually. Therefore, it is solely leveraging the growth of the market. According to WHO recommendations, implementing a top-notch monitoring system is one of the primary strategies for achieving rubella elimination. Today, most nations in the Americas, Europe, and Western Pacific Region have monitoring systems for rubella, rubella in pregnancy, and congenital rubella syndrome. The government and non-government agencies are giving funds for rubella vaccine developments. Unvaccinated people are suffering from rubella in the majority. The initiatives of government authority and increasing the success rate of vaccination schemes on the government initiative of each country. The Asia Pacific is creating an awareness program and campaigns to prevent the disease from infection. The robust regulations and patient safety are anticipated for the market's growth.

The growth of the rubella vaccine market is also driven by the high prevalence of CRS in low- and middle-income countries such as India, China, Vietnam, and many other parts of Africa, primarily due to the defects found in structural heart for 80% of cases, 60% of cases with ocular signs of retinitis pigmentosa, glaucoma, and cataracts, and almost 40% diagnosed cases with hearing impairment, which was all suffered mainly by 25% of children under two years of age, who even suffered death. Therefore, the countries realized and reached a common conclusion the only way to overcome the problem was high vaccination coverage, initiating nationwide serological surveys. Furthermore, the market for measles, mumps, and rubella vaccines is expanding because of efforts by vaccine producers to collaborate with groups like UNICEF, WHO, and GAVI Alliance to enhance these organizations' immunization programs. These collaborative endeavors make reaching broad populations feasible, notably in impoverished and developing nations. This highlights the expansion of the market for measles, mumps, and rubella vaccinations, together with government measures for the effectiveness of immunization programmers since Measles is one of the top causes of infant mortality in developing and developing nations. In addition, increasing air pollution due to industrialization leads to a rise in airborne diseases worldwide, which is expected to fuel the market demand.

MARKET RESTRAINS:

Vaccine-related side effects could be a major factor restraining the growth of the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccines markets, like the non-viral meningitis outbreak in Japan in 1998 and other harmful side effects. The strict manufacturing and approval criteria, high single dose cost, and high incidence of pneumococcal infections will further restrict the Rubella vaccine market. In addition, the side effect of vaccination and the high cost of vaccine production restrains the vaccine market. A limited number of vaccines, precise manufacturing, and the gap between demand and supply during disease outbreaks are the other factors that hamper the market's growth.

Impact of COVID-19 on the global rubella vaccine market:

The outbreak began in March 2020 and continued for over a year. The lockdowns and quarantines resulted from the coronavirus outbreak in China. Many businesses have suffered losses. There was a rise in the unemployment rate as more deaths were reported. The financial situation has deteriorated due to the unexpected increase in patients and the severe shortage of hospital resources. The market for the rubella vaccine had a negative impact of the covid-19 virus on the global market since the priority shift and rise in vaccination against COVID-19 slowed the pace of rubella vaccination. Moreover, the inherent disadvantages of constructing the rubella vaccine using human diploid cell technology, like high selectivity and low yield, are expected to limit the market growth.

REPORT COVERAGE:

This research report on the global rubella vaccine market has been segmented based on the end-user and region.

Rubella Vaccine Market – By Type:

• Monovalent Formulation
• Measles-Rubella Vaccine
• Measles, Mumps, Rubella Vaccine
• Measles Mumps Rubella Varicella Vaccine

The measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine MMR held the largest share of the market in 2022 and is predicted to continue dominating the market throughout the forecast period due to the rising cases of these diseases. In addition, they reported outbursts of the disease in many local areas. According to WHO statistics, more than 140,000 people died from measles in 2018. The dominance of this segment is also driven by the rising cases of chickenpox and the efficiency of the vaccine in protecting against diseases. For instance, more than 95% of American adults have had chickenpox, and about 4,000,000 people get chickenpox every year.

It protects the child from potentially serious illnesses, measles and mumps. Furthermore, it stops the child from spreading the disease to a pregnant woman, whose fetus can suffer fatal birth problems or develop severe deformities if the mother contracts the disease. In addition, the youngster won't develop a fever or rash from rubella.

The adult rubella vaccine segment is foreseen to dominate the market since the adults are required to be up to date on MMR vaccinations, with either 1, 2, or both doses, until the adults have already had the presumptive evidence of immunity to measles, mumps, and rubella. Generally, only one dose of the MMR vaccine is sufficient for most adults.
