Meningococcal Vaccines Market size is expected to reach $4.2 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 10.8% during the forecast period 2021-2026. Meningococcal vaccines are polysaccharide vaccines that are used to prevent diseases caused by meningococcus, which is a Gram-negative bacterium that can cause meningitis and other forms of meningococcal disease such as meningococcemia. The meningococcal disease results in infection of the lining of the brain and spinal cord and also has the potential to cause large epidemics. This disease is generally transmitted through direct contact with droplets of throat secretions from patients. Increase in the demand for combination vaccines and conjugate vaccines, growing government initiatives to replace the current meningitis vaccines with new vaccines to combat rising deaths, and rise in the adoption in developing countries in their national immunization programs are the factors that are set to drive the growth of the Meningococcal Vaccines Market for the period 2021-2026.
Meningococcal Vaccines Market Segment Analysis-By Type
The Meningococcal Vaccines Market based on the Type can be further segmented into Bivalent, Quadrivalent, and Others. The Quadrivalent segment held the largest share in 2020 and is also estimated to be the fastest-growing segment with a CAGR of 11.6% over the period 2021-2026. This growth is owing to the growing usage from brands such as Menactra, Menveo, and Nimenrix. The quadrivalent Conjugate Vaccines are increasingly being used for the active immunization of individuals. The increasing approval of new vaccines to protect people against meningococcal meningitis is driving the growth of the Meningococcal Vaccines Market. The Bivalent segment held the second-largest share in 2020 owing to the factors such as growing demand for bivalent meningococcal vaccine for adolescents and young adults and increase in the research and development activities by the key players.

Meningococcal Vaccines Market Drivers
Rise in the Demand for Meningococcal Conjugate Vaccines
There is a rapid increase in the demand for meningococcal conjugate vaccines owing to its capability of protecting against four types (serogroups A, C, W, and Y) of Neisseria meningitidis bacteria. It also provides the ability to induce greater antibody persistence, avidity, immunologic memory, and herd immunity, which is driving the growth of the Meningococcal Vaccines Market.
Increase in the Focus on Developing New Vaccines
The key players are focusing on developing polysaccharide vaccines that do not depend on very narrow range temperatures for storage. The manufacturers are also aimed at developing vaccines that provide an effective, long-term, and affordable solution to epidemics caused owing to meningococcal disease, which is driving the growth of the Meningococcal Vaccines Market.
