Based on product, the biodefense market is bifurcated into vaccines, and biothreat detection devices. Vaccines are further segmented into botulism, smallpox, anthrax, and others. Whereas biothreat detection devices are further segmented into detectors/triggering devices, samplers, assays, reagents, and identifiers. Among these the vaccines segment accounted for around 64.5% market share in 2021 owing to increasing vaccines production across the globe to prevent spread of various viruses.
Furthermore, researchers are currently investigating novel vaccine technologies, such as vector technology, in order to induce rapid protection against pathogen attack will spur the biodefense market growth. Recently developed vaccines had the ability to address a wide range of bioterrorism chemicals and can induce a long-lasting immune response after a single oral dose. Also, several countries have witnessed a surging Ebola virus, Zika and COVID-19 infections and therefore many companies are competing to develop vaccines.
North America biodefense market captured over 41.6% revenue share in 2021 and is poised to grow substantially during the forthcoming years owing to growing importance of biodefense and the rising threat of harmful biological materials. Furthermore, the U.S is one of the region's most developed biodefense marketplaces, with well-established vaccine production facilities.
Additionally, U.S. government implements several initiatives that helps them in strengthening security against bioterrorism attacks. Government plans several biodefense programs such as pandemic influenza and infectious disease program. Other factors such as growing adoption of technological advanced product coupled with rising awareness regarding biodefense among the individuals will spur the regional market forecasts.
