The global pediatric vaccines market size is anticipated to register a significant CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the increasing in government and non-government grants, investments for the development of novel vaccines, and initiatives for spreading awareness about immunization.
Vaccination is a method of boosting the immune system's ability to combat specific antigens. Antigens, which are weaker versions of the target viruses, are injected. When the body is exposed to comparable antigens in the future, these antigens develop antibodies. This is one of the simplest ways to get the body ready to battle certain diseases. The majority of vaccines are given when the disease is still in its early stages. Pediatric vaccines refers to a range o.
According to new monitoring statistics released by the World Health Organization (WHO), measles and rubella infections increased by 300% in the first three months of 2019 compared to the same time in 2018.

Market Segment Insights
Monovalent vaccines segment is estimated to register a large revenue share
On the basis of Types, the global pediatric vaccines market is bifurcated into multivalent and monovalent. The monovalent vaccines segment is estimated to register a large revenue share during the forecast period. The segment growth is attributed due to the increasing in the frequency of infectious diseases in children and wide adoption of vaccine types as prevention purposes. Furthermore, owing to the safety and stability as well as their capacity to induce a quick immune response, the monovalent vaccines are expected to gain a substantial market share in the coming years.
Conjugate segment is expected to expand at a rapid pace
Based on technology, the market is segregated as inactivated, toxoid, live attenuated, subunit, conjugate, and others. The conjugate segment is expected to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period owing to the increasing in the prevalence of pneumococcal and meningococcal infections along with rising in awareness regarding the precautionary measures of diseases. Pfizer's 13-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine, which is adopted for the prevention of pneumonia, was chosen for immunization in some Indian states in May 2017. Around 5.15 million newborns in India were vaccinated in the first round. Under the auspices of Gavi, Pfizer Inc. provided the vaccine through UNICEF.
Infectious diseases segment is projected to hold a key market share
On the basis of applications, the global pediatric vaccines market is segmented into allergy, infectious disease, and cancer. The Infectious diseases segment is projected to hold a key market share in the coming years due to the ongoing awareness program about immunization against a number of infectious diseases that cause sickness and mortality. Increased prevalence of diseases in children such as cholera, chickenpox, hepatitis typhoid, and measles leads to increased demand for immunization. Thus, it is expected to propel the segment growth.
North America is anticipated to constitute a key market share
In terms of regions, the market is classified as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa.
