Based on the technology types, segments include conjugate vaccines, inactivated and subunit vaccines, live attenuated vaccines, recombinant vaccines, and toxoid vaccines. In Asia-Pacific, conjugate vaccines are the leading market. Conjugate vaccines are highly effective in preventing diseases caused by bacteria with polysaccharide capsules, such as pneumococcal diseases, Haemophilus influenza type b (Hib), and meningococcal diseases. Many of these diseases are prevalent in the Asia-Pacific region, making conjugate vaccines a critical tool for public health. Conjugate vaccines are particularly suitable for paediatric vaccination, and child immunisation is a priority in many Asian countries. These vaccines are essential in reducing the burden of diseases that disproportionately affect infants and young children, contributing to better child health outcomes. Conjugate vaccines often provide longer-lasting immunity compared to traditional polysaccharide vaccines. This characteristic is especially valuable in regions where access to healthcare services can be challenging, as it reduces the need for frequent booster shots. Many countries in Asia and the Pacific have established government-sponsored immunisation programmes aimed at preventing specific diseases. Conjugate vaccines are often included in these programmes due to their efficacy and suitability for mass vaccination campaigns. Conjugated vaccines can help reduce the incidence of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections. This is crucial in Asia and the Pacific, where antibiotic resistance is a growing concern. In terms of the route of administration, it is segmented into intramuscular and subcutaneous administration, oral administration, and others. Intramuscular injections allow vaccines to be delivered directly into the muscle tissue, which is rich in blood vessels. This facilitates the rapid absorption of the vaccine components into the bloodstream, leading to a strong and effective immune response. This is particularly important in areas where the prevalence of certain diseases necessitates a robust immune reaction. IM administration is suitable for a wide range of vaccines, including those for diseases like measles, mumps, rubella, polio, and hepatitis. Since these diseases are endemic in many parts of Asia and the Pacific, IM administration is an effective way to deliver these vaccines. Many vaccines in the paediatric immunisation schedule, such as the DTP (diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis) and measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccines, are administered via the IM route. Since paediatric vaccination is a priority in the Asia-Pacific region, the IM route is commonly used to ensure children receive essential vaccines. Based on the end user segment, which includes paediatrics and adults, in Asia Pacific, adults will grow at the highest CAGR rate by the forecast period.
