The Global Acute Vulvovaginal Candidiasis Treatment Market is estimated to reach over USD 485.54 million by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.80% during the forecast period.
The acute vulvovaginal candidiasis market includes the development of several treatments and medications for the treatment of acute vulvovaginal candidiasis. The candida albicans fungus causes acute vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC), which is also known as vaginal thrush. The illness is caused by a fungal overgrowth, which manifests as abnormal vaginal discharge, acute discomfort during intercourse, and vaginal itching. Approximately 75 % of women are projected to be affected by the VVC at some point in their lives. Although the majority of VVC cases are small, the infection can develop seriously in some women, resulting in swelling, cracks in the vaginal wall, and redness.
Furthermore, the demand for acute vulvovaginal candidiasis therapy is increasing in lockstep with the global disease burden, indicating a growing desire for better treatment options and a rise in the number of hospital-acquired infections. The development of new antifungal drugs, an increase in healthcare spending, and the growth of healthcare infrastructure are also driving the global acute vulvovaginal candidiasis treatment market. Furthermore, market participants compete for clearance to manufacture their products by submitting new drug applications (NDAs) to regulatory organizations. As a result of this factor, the global acute vulvovaginal candidiasis market is expected to grow.
However, the global acute vulvovaginal candidiasis therapy market is predicted to be hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic over the forecast period. According to the Indian Journal of Medical Sciences, on June 6, 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has impeded the conduct of clinical trials due to a lack of trial site employees, travel restrictions, experimental product supply, and other problems. The development of new therapeutics for acute vulvovaginal candidiasis is hampered by these roadblocks. Infection with Candida albicans is becoming increasingly common among patients in intensive care units. Furthermore, prominent firms have suspended operations in various places due to the lockdown and social distancing practices.
