Within the health care and pharmaceutical industry, the global vaccine market is one of the fastest growing segments and new predictions estimate the value of the market to reach between $48 billion and more than $70 billion over the next five to eight years.
Adult Vaccines Driving Force in Growing Market Value
According to a new report released by Transparency Market Research, the value of the global human vaccines market is expected to grow from a $28.3 billion in 2015 to $72.5 billion in 2024. The projection would represent a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.2 percent from 2016 to 2024. Even though the dollar figure is large and growing, vaccines still only account 3 percent of the market share within the global pharmaceutical industry.1
The report broke down expectations by segments. By age group, pediatric vaccines accounted for 57.5 percent of the share in 2015, but adult vaccines are expected to grow at a 13.2 percent CAGR during the forecast period.1
When the research group analyzed the market by product, they found the pneumococcal segment to have the majority share in 2015, but expect hepatitis products to demonstrate strong growth through 2024. By vaccine type, the conjugate vaccines held the majority share in 2015, but the combination vaccines were expected to have the largest CAGR.
North America dominates the vaccine market with an anticipated value of $28 billion by 2024. Four companies control 74 percent of the global market—Pfizer, Merck, Sanofi and GlaxoSmithKline.1
A growing vaccine market is attributed to a number of factors, including more stringent recommendations for vaccinations from many governments. Growth-limiting factors include strict regulatory approval processes, high costs associated with research for discovery and development and cold chain logistic challenges.1

Big Pharma is intent on making huge profits by vaccinating every human and pet on this planet. This will ensure that we are all sick for the rest of our lives and will need even more medication. A perfect plan!!
This will continue unabated and with increasing ferocity unless We The People mobilize!!
Let’s start by repealing the “1986 Vaccine Injury Law Information”. This law has been shielding Big Pharma for over 30 years from all lawsuits.
Please google “Repeal Immunity for Drug Companies Against Vaccine Injuries” and sign the petition. This 1986 law must go. Otherwise, no amount of talk will make things better.
Please take a moment to sign and please share with friends and family.
Yes. Stop helping Big Pharma to make billions and billions over decades. To be vaccinated or not should not be decided by laws crafted to support huge profits for private businesses.
My daughter almost died from an MMR booster shot. She had to have chemotherapy to stop the antibodies from attacking her spine! She has a paraplegic to this day,.
