The global antiviral Therapeutics market is expected to register a CAGR of 6.2% during the forecast period, 2018 to 2023. North America dominates the market due to growing prevalence of Hepatitis C HIV infections, coupled with the presence of huge patient pool suffering from virally infectious diseases.
High Prevalence of Different Viral Infection

The huge patient pool indicates high demand for antiviral drugs, which will likely drive the market growth during the forecast period.Other factors that drive the market include increasing initiatives by public and private companies, advancements in molecular biology promoting drug development, and a strong pipeline for antiviral drugs.
Therapeutics Going Offpatent
Therapeutics losing patent exclusivity affects the market largely. Along with the innovator company, there are many regional/local players in the market. Due to this, the prices of the Therapeutics come down rapidly and the overall market gets affected. In the year 2016 itself, quite a few HIV Therapeutics had gone offpatent. Epzicom, Trizivir, Norvir, and Kaletra lost patent exclusivity in 2016. Abbott's Kaletra has more than 8% share in the HIV antivirals market. This will greatly affect the market for antiviral drugs.The high cost of antiviral drug treatment also hinders the growth of the market.
