The Asia Pacific vaccines market (excluding COVID-19) is projected to reach USD 14.57 billion by 2030, from USD 9.46 billion in 2025, with a CAGR of 9.0%. This growth is attributed to several factors, such as ongoing advancements in vaccine development technologies and rising healthcare expenditure.
Key market players include Serum Institute of India (India), Pfizer Inc. (US), Merck & Co., Inc. (US), GSK (UK), Bharat Biotech (India), Panacea Biotec (India), Biological E Limited (India), and Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation (Japan). These companies are expanding beyond traditional vaccine production into high-throughput, automated platforms that include adjuvant optimization, viral inactivation processes, subunit protein expression, and specialized cold chain-compatible reagents for multi-dose vial workflows. By increasing fill-finish capacity and using modular bioreactor systems, they aim to improve regional self-reliance, supporting vaccine programs from preclinical strain isolation and Phase I-II trials in local populations to national deployment for outbreak response and herd immunity.
