The significance of adjuvant research has grown considerably due to the limited immunogenicity of new vaccine antigens. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has stressed the importance of developing adjuvants to improve vaccine efficacy, especially for populations with weakened immune systems, such as the elderly and immunocompromised individuals. This focus on research is expected to drive advancements in adjuvant technology.
Furthermore, the increasing utilization of recombinant and synthetic vaccines is anticipated to accelerate the growth of the adjuvant market in the upcoming years.
The WHO’s Global Vaccine Action Plan highlights the necessity of developing new and improved vaccines, including those utilizing recombinant technology. As these advanced vaccines frequently require adjuvants to enhance their effectiveness, their rising adoption is likely to further fuel the demand for adjuvants in vaccine formulations.
