Market Analysis:
The Global Diphtheria Treatment Market is developing at a slow pace and this can be linked to factors such as the vaccine’s high efficiency and effectiveness, side effects resulting from the vaccine like allergies and type A immune reaction, falling profitability in the manufacture of vaccines and variability in the vaccines efficacy. Financial restraints like a fall in the ROI (returns on investment) along with the resultant exit of players from the vaccine manufacture is likely to affect the growth of diphtheria vaccines in the future. Taking all these factors into consideration, the Global Diphtheria Treatment Market is anticipated to touch USD 5 billion towards the end of 2023. The Diphtheria Treatment Market Size is projected to grow vigorously at 3.2% CAGR during the forecast period 2018-2023.
Diphtheria is a severe bacterial infection which affects the mucous membranes both of the nose and throat. It is caused by Corynebacterium diphtheria which is a bacterium which results in fever and severe sore throat leading to barking cough and narrowing of the air passages. This bacterial infection is also likely to affect the genitals, eyes and skin thereby causing kidney problems, bleeding and myocarditis.
