Vaccine Market 2033: The Rise of Digital Tools in Immunization

The global vaccine market was valued at USD 87.75 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 151.96 billion by 2033, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8% from 2025 to 2033. This growth is driven by increasing global demand and the rising focus on vaccines targeting diseases prevalent in low-income countries.

In March 2023, the Serum Institute of India announced plans to broaden its product range beyond COVID-19 vaccines by developing new vaccines for malaria and dengue. Company representatives noted that existing COVID-19 vaccine production infrastructure has been repurposed to support this initiative, potentially enabling annual production to scale up to 4 billion doses. This strategic shift is aimed at maintaining high output levels while enhancing readiness for future health emergencies.

By March 2024, Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories (DRL) is set to begin marketing and distributing Sanofi’s vaccine brands in India. The agreement includes well-established pediatric and adult vaccines such as Hexaxim, Pentaxim, Tetraxim, Menactra, FluQuadri, Adacel, and Avaxim 80U, which collectively generated around USD 51 million in sales as of February 2024. This partnership strengthens DRL’s position in the Indian vaccine market, making it the second-largest vaccine distributor in the country, while Sanofi continues to own, produce, and import these vaccines.
