GSK vaccine to revolutionize $1.8 billion meningococcal disease market by 2025; report

30 June 2016

A vaccine being developed by UK pharma major GlaxoSmithKline (LSE: GSK) is set to revolutionize the meningococcal disease prevention market, according to GlobalData.

The research and consulting firm’s latest report states that if the MenABCWY vaccine performs well in upcoming Phase III studies, it has the potential to become the market leader protecting against meningococcal serogroups A, B, C, W, and Y. This vaccine could dominate the eight major markets (8MM) of the USA, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the UK, Japan, and Brazil by 2025, it is predicted.

The report states that of the three major meningococcal vaccines currently being developed in the 8MM, only MenABCWY has the potential to significantly change the approach used by countries to prevent the disease.
