Global HIV Drugs Market Size Study, by Medication Class, by Distribution Channel and Regional Forecasts 2022-2032

Global HIV Drugs Market is valued at approximately USD 34.28 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 4.5% over the forecast period 2024-2032. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a chronic and life-threatening disease, which can be transferred from one person to another through blood-to-blood and sexual contact. It attacks immune cells known as CD-4 cells, making the body susceptible to infections and other diseases. Over the years, the rise in prevalence of HIV disease worldwide has positively influenced the demand for HIV drugs, which help to prevent the multiplication of the HIV virus, thereby reducing the risk of its transmission. The growth of the HIV drugs market is driven by the rising demand for HIV medications, increased initiatives by various government associations to raise awareness about the diagnosis and management of HIV, and a rise in cases of HIV. For instance, according to the Joint United Nations Program on HIV and AIDS (UNAIDS), 39 million people globally were living with HIV in 2022. Additionally, 1.3 million people became newly infected with HIV, and 630,000 people died from AIDS-related illnesses in the same year.

However, lack high cost of HIV treatment, along with the social stigma and discrimination are the key factors that are substantially halting the growth of the market globally. The pharmaceutical industry continues to invest in research and development efforts to better understand the underlying mechanisms of HIV and develop innovative therapies. This includes exploring new drug targets, conducting clinical trials, and investigating combination therapies. Therefore, the rise in R&D in drug discovery drives the growth of the HIV drugs market size during the forecast period. For instance, in February 2023, Merck & Co., Inc. announced the opening of enrollment in its new Phase 3 clinical program with investigational once-daily islatravir 0.25 mg in combination with doravirine 100 mg (DOR/ISL) for the treatment of HIV-1 infection.

Furthermore, the rise in awareness about HIV leads to more individuals seeking testing and diagnosis. This results in the identification of previously undiagnosed cases, subsequently increasing the demand for HIV drugs to initiate treatment. For instance, the U.S. Agency for International Development and various associations globally have introduced many initiatives and education campaigns for community awareness to address HIV prevention, treatment, and care.

The key regions considered for the global HIV drugs Market study include Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Rest of the World. North America accounted for a major HIV drugs market share in 2023 and is expected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. The presence of several major players, rise in the number of clinical trials of HIV drugs, availability of advanced healthcare facilities, and high healthcare expenditure from government organizations in the region drive market growth. Whereas, Asia-Pacific is expected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period. This is attributable to a rise in cases of HIV, as well as an increase in the purchasing power of populated countries such as China and India. The region possesses a huge population base, with China and India being the first and second most populated countries, respectively. A rise in population along with longer life expectancy is expected to drive market growth in Asia-Pacific during the forecast period.
