Malaria Treatment Market projected to reach US$ 2,126.42 million by 2027 - Glenmark, Olympus, Ipca Laboratories, Advanz Pharmaceutical
Malaria is a life-threatening infectious disease caused by the Plasmodium parasite. The high prevalence of malaria in low-income countries and increasing initiatives undertaken by governments globally are driving the malaria treatment market, and is also expected to foster the market growth during the forecast period. However, increasing resistance to antimalarial drugs is restricting the market growth.
In the early phase of the pandemic owing to the urgency for efficient COVID-19 treatment therapeutics, in April 2020, the European Medicines Agency started investigation of Chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine (antimalarial drugs) for their potential to treat COVID-19. This has led to the increase in demand of antimalarial drugs in the management of COVID-19.

The growth of the malaria treatment market is attributed to the high prevalence of malaria in low-income countries, and increasing initiatives undertaken by governments globally. However, increasing resistance to antimalarial drugs hinders the growth of this market. Advanz Pharmaceutical, Ipca Laboratories Ltd, Zydus Cadila, Glenmark, Olympus Corporation, Abbott, Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd, Sanofi, GlaxoSmithKline plc., Novartis AG, and TEVA PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES LTD are among the leading companies operating in the global malaria treatment market.
Based on treatment type, the malaria treatment market is segmented into vaccine, diagnostic test, and antimalarial agents. The diagnostic test segment held the largest share of the market in 2019. The growth of this segment is ascribed to the demand for high-quality and cost-efficient diagnostic methods, and introduction of novel diagnostic techniques. Also, the governments in the Middle East and Africa are taking measures to help the patients, such as Sanofi’s digitization steps to control malaria through MOSKI kit awareness in children in malaria endemic countries are being successful in the malaria treatment market.
Malaria is a life-threatening infectious disease caused by the Plasmodium parasite and spread by female Anopheles mosquitoes. The malaria epidemic is on the rise, and climate change is further creating an environment for vector mosquitoes to thrive. As per the WHO, around 229 million malaria cases and ~409,000 deaths were recorded globally in 2019. Malaria has predominantly affected tropical regions, including Africa and Asia, Central and South America. Also, most cases of malaria occur in Africa, South-East Asia, the Eastern Mediterranean, and Western Pacific.
As per the WHO, African region accounts for the highest share of the global malaria burden. As per the WHO, in 2019, the region accounted for around 94% of malaria cases and deaths. Also, six countries in the region accounted for half of all malaria deaths worldwide: Nigeria (23%), the Democratic Republic of the Congo (11%), United Republic of Tanzania (5%), Burkina Faso (4%), Mozambique (4%) and Niger (4%). Children and pregnant women are the most vulnerable group affected by malaria. In 2019, children accounted for 67% (274,000) of all malaria deaths worldwide. Apart from this, the increasing number of traveler malaria cases is also contributing to the demand for the treatment of malaria. Every year, thousands of people travel to malaria-affected region, which is expected to increase infection risk. Thus, the high prevalence of malaria, especially in developing and underdeveloped countries, is a prime factor for the market's growth.
