Driving Growth of Vaginal Antifungals Market by Increasing Prevalence of Vulvovaginal Candidiasis: Persistence Market Research

Market Study on Vaginal Antifungals: Around One-third Market Share Accounted for by Clotrimazole Drugs


New York, Feb. 09, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Global Vaginal Antifungals Market was valued at US$ 1 billion in 2021, according to Persistence Market Research’s most recent industry report, and is predicted to expand at a CAGR of 3.6% during the forecast period (2022 to 2032).

The market is being driven by the development of new antifungal medications, a rise in healthcare expenditure, and the expansion of healthcare infrastructure across the world. Market players are competing with one another for approvals to manufacture antifungals by submitting new drug applications (NDAs) to regulatory authorities.

Vulvovaginal candidiasis can have a negative impact on a woman's quality of life. There are no published estimates of the lifetime prevalence of the disease. After bacterial vaginosis, fungal infections in the vulvovaginal environment are the second most common cause of inflammation. The most common pathogen is candida albicans, also known as C. albicans, which is present in 85% to 90% of the cases.

  • According to a report from Diagnosis and Treatment for Women's Health (2021), 75% of women will encounter vulvovaginal candidiasis (VCC) at least once in their lives, and 40% to 50% of these women will have additional episodes.

In addition, an increasing number of patients with nosocomial infections, hospital-acquired illnesses, and infectious diseases are expected to fuel the expansion of the market throughout the course of the projection period.
