Abstract
"Global Vaccine Market Outlook (2007-2010)" is an extensive market research
report by RNCOS that gives an objective analysis on the global vaccine market.
It covers both past and current performance of the market, as well as
highlights the trends that are expected to impact the future of the market.
The global vaccine market, which was earlier thought as a low margin, low
growth industry, is currently attracting the interest of all major
pharmaceutical giants. The market is presently witnessing growth rates much
faster than the traditional pharmaceutical market; and with many new
blockbuster potential vaccines likely to hit the market in future, the growth
is only expected to increase.
The biggest factor driving the vaccine market is its potential to prevent
deaths due to diseases. Vaccines have eradicated many life-threatening
diseases and many more vaccines are in the pipeline, which may serve as future
life saviors (particularly those for several types of cancers which are
expected to be launched around 2008). However, several challenges still
remain, one of the biggest being the wide gap between the developed and the
developing world in terms of accessibility and quality of vaccines.

US$ 21.05 Billion by 2010.
