The influenza vaccines market in Europe is expected to grow from US$ 2,261.85 million in 2022 to US$ 3,424.02 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.2% from 2022 to 2028.
Increasing Investment by Top Market Players and Governments Boosts Europe Influenza Vaccines Market
Market players and governments worldwide are increasing their investments in vaccine development and immunization. For instance, in March 2021, Sanofi (Paris, France) announced an approximately US$ 925 million investment in a new vaccine manufacturing plant at its pre-existing site in Toronto, Canada. Investments in the new facility will provide additional antigen and filling capacity for Sanofi's FLUZONE high-dose quadrivalent influenza vaccines, increasing availability in Canada, the US, and Europe in the coming years. In April 2021, 3 levels of government—federal, provincial, and municipal—supported Sanofi Pasteur in building an "end-to-end" influenza vaccines factory in Toronto. The partners will invest ~US$ 1 billion to get the site up and running by 2027. Sanofi, for its part, will invest more than US$ 55 million, create 165 new eligible jobs, and maintain another 1,100. In addition, Sanofi will also invest ~US$ 79 million annually for 8 years to fund research and development in Canada.
In June 2021, The European Investment Bank signed a US$ 30.55 million global vaccine distribution agreement with biotech company Univercells to mass produce the COVID-19 vaccine at a new Belgian site. It helped build other vaccine factories across the world. In April 2022, the bank provided a US$ 15.27 million loan to IRBM, an Italian biomedical research company, to expand its vaccine production capacity and strengthen research on COVID-19 and other diseases. Thus, the increase in investment by top market players and governments across the region is bolstering the Europe influenza vaccines market.
