Market Dynamics

The growing pediatric population worldwide is likely to spur the demand for pediatric drugs and vaccines which will, in turn, promote significant growth. In 2016, as per the U.S.-based non-profit organization Child Trends, there were nearly 78 million children below the age of 18, holding for 23.0% of the total U.S. population. Moreover, the growing number of births across the globe coupled with the growing prevalence of pediatric diseases are some of the factors stimulating global pediatric drugs and vaccine growth.

COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 outbreak impacted the growth of the pediatric drugs and vaccines market positively as the visits to hospitals for medical consultation decreased due to fear of getting infected. The usage of pediatric drugs and vaccines made it easier for the patients to be able to consult the healthcare providers online
