The growing government funding and awareness play a pivotal role in driving the demand for market. For instance, in 2021, Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) provided funding of nearly USD 2.49 million to Friedrich-Alexander-Universität (FAU) for the development of a new drug against the herpes virus. Therefore, government funding is essential for maintaining and improving healthcare infrastructure, including clinics, laboratories, and healthcare services. A robust healthcare system ensures that individuals have access to appropriate testing, diagnosis, and treatment for HSV infections.
However, the unavailability of vaccines poses a significant restraint on the herpes simplex treatment market. The absence of a vaccine means there is no comprehensive management of herpes simplex infections, creating a gap in treatment sector. The unmet need for a reliable and accessible vaccine contributes to the ongoing challenges in controlling the spread of herpes simplex, impacting both individuals' health and the broader healthcare system.
