BK Virus Infection Market Set to Grow by 2035 – BIS Research

What Is BK Virus Infection? 

BK virus is a polyomavirus that remains latent in most healthy individuals. However, in immunocompromised patients—especially kidney transplant recipients—it can reactivate, leading to BK virus nephropathy (BKVN). This condition damages transplanted kidneys, often progressing silently until graft function is impaired. Current management includes reducing immunosuppression and off-label antivirals, as there are no FDA-approved BKV-specific drugs. 

What Is the Market Outlook? 

• Therapeutic Innovation: Development of targeted antivirals and immunotherapies, such as adoptive T-cell therapy, aimed at addressing unmet needs. 
• Diagnostic Expansion: Increased adoption of PCR-based viral load testing and molecular assays enabling precision treatment. 
• Commercialization Push: Biopharma players advancing clinical trials of BKV-specific therapies and integrating companion diagnostics.
