The increase in people aged 65 and above is due to improved health facilities around the world and people living a better lifestyle that includes better food quality and other facilities required for living. The improvement in medication and drugs is also a factor for the geriatric population. This is further increasing the demand for anti-viral drugs. The increasing influenza prevalence around the world is a second major reason for the increasing demand for anti-viral drugs around the world. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), North America saw the rise in influenza activity with majority people infected with influenza A viruses with at least 80% of adult influenza-associated hospitalizations were associated with influenza A viruses.

This will reduce the growth of anti-viral drugs. This is a major restricting factor for the anti-viral drug market. The market of the anti-viral drug is also restricting by the high cost incurred in the development of drugs is increasing their prices, making it difficult for people to afford. This is further leading to the growth of alternatives like naturopathy and homeopathy which will further restraint the anti-viral drug market.
The global anti-viral drug market is segmented by application type, mechanism of action, and by geography. On the basis of application type, the global anti-viral drug market is segmented by herpes antiviral drugs, hepatitis antiviral drugs, HIV antiviral drugs, influenza antiviral drugs, and other antiviral drugs.

The increasing HIV among people is driving the market for HIV antiviral drugs.
By geography, North America has a significant share in the market
Regionally, the global anti-viral drug market is classified into North America, South America, Europe, Middle East and Africa, and Asia Pacific. North America is expected to have a significant market share in the anti-viral drug market due to the presence of large pharmaceutical companies and the early adoption of advanced medicines in the region due to heavy research and development carried on by pharmaceutical companies. The increasing prevalence of influenza and HIV in the North American region is a major factor in the increasing use of anti-viral drugs. The Asia Pacific region is expected to be the fastest-growing region in the anti-viral drug market. It is due to an increasing number of people diagnosed with increasing influenza and HIV in the region. This is increasing the consumption of anti-viral drugs in countries like India and China. The increasing presence of pharmaceutical companies in the Asia Pacific region is further boosting the market of anti-viral drugs. Easy availability of OTC (over-the-counter) anti-viral drugs in Asia Pacific countries is also contributing to the market growth of the region's anti-viral drug market during the forecast period.
