Challenges Associated with the Development of Antiviral Drugs to Hinder the Market Growth

The challenges associated with the development of antiviral drugs owing to mutations of viruses is hindering the market growth. Moreover, the development of antiviral drugs involves high investments, which is impeding the growth of the market. As the precise diagnosis of viral issues is difficult and the efficiency of antiviral drugs is limited to early treatment, the demand for antiviral drugs is reducing and obstructing the market growth.

As antiviral drugs have a narrow antiviral spectrum, their demand is reducing, which is negatively impacting the growth of the market. With the growing demand for alternative medicines such as naturopathy and homoeopathy, the market growth may witness a decline. The risk of toxic side effects from antiviral drugs is reducing their use and constraining the industry growth. The increasing ineffectiveness of antiviral drugs against latent viruses may impede the market growth in the forecast period.
