Note on Biologic Patents

Matching patents to biologic drugs is far more complicated than for small-molecule drugs.

DrugPatentWatch employs three methods to identify biologic patents:

  1. Brand-side disclosures in response to biosimilar applications
  2. These patents were identified from disclosures by the brand-side company, in response to a potential biosimilar seeking to launch. They have a high certainty of blocking biosimilar entry. The expiration dates listed are not estimates — they're expiration dates as indicated by the brand-side company.

  3. General brand-side disclosures
  4. These patents were identified from searching drug labels and other general disclosures from the brand-side company. This list may exclude some of the patents which block biosimilar launch, and some of these patents listed may not actually block biosimilar launch. The expiration dates listed for these patents are estimates, based on the grant date of the patent.

  5. Patents from broad patent text search
  6. For completeness, these patents were identified by searching the patent literature for mentions of the branded or ingredient name of the drug. Some of these patents protect the original drug, whereas others may protect follow-on inventions or even inventions casually mentioning the drug. The expiration dates listed for these patents are estimates, based on the grant date of the patent.

VIVOTIF Market Analysis and Financial Projection Experimental

Market Dynamics and Financial Trajectory for Vivotif

Introduction to Vivotif

Vivotif, also known as Ty21a, is an oral typhoid vaccine that has been a cornerstone in the prevention of typhoid fever. Developed and initially marketed by Berna Biotech, it is now part of the portfolio of Bavarian Nordic, following an acquisition from Emergent BioSolutions.

Market Overview of TCV Vaccines

The global Typhoid Conjugate Vaccines (TCV) market, in which Vivotif is a key player, is experiencing significant growth. This market is projected to reach USD 935.9 million by 2031, growing at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 12.4% from 2024 to 2031[1][4].

Market Share and Dominance of Vivotif

Vivotif dominates the TCV vaccines market due to its strong brand recognition and proven efficacy. In 2024, the Ty21a (Vivotif) segment is estimated to contribute the highest market share of 45.6%[1]. This dominance is attributed to its long history of safe administration and its ability to provide protective immunity comparable to injectable vaccines without the need for needles.

Distribution Channels and Market Reach

The distribution of Vivotif is predominantly through government initiatives and public health programs, which are crucial for its market reach. Retail pharmacies and healthcare institutions also play a significant role in the distribution, especially in regions where government programs are less prevalent[1].

Following the acquisition by Bavarian Nordic, Vivotif has contributed significantly to the company's financial performance. In the second quarter of 2023, revenue from the sale of Vivotif was DKK 27 million, and for the first half of 2023, it was DKK 119 million, covering only the period from May 15, 2023, when the acquisition was completed[2][3].

Revenue Growth and Projections

The revenue from Vivotif is expected to grow as the travel health segment, which includes typhoid vaccines, experiences a rebound in international travel post-COVID-19. Bavarian Nordic's annual report for 2023 highlighted a 49% increase in the travel health business, which includes Vivotif and other vaccines like Rabipur and Encepur[3].

Challenges and Restraints

This diversification is expected to drive further growth and improve market position in the travel vaccines sector[3].

Government Initiatives and Public Health Impact

Government initiatives and public health programs are key drivers for the TCV vaccines market, including Vivotif. Increasing awareness of typhoid's prevalence and the push to combat antibiotic resistance have led to enhanced healthcare infrastructure and strategic partnerships aimed at improving vaccine accessibility[1].

Competitive Landscape

The TCV vaccines market is competitive, with other players like GSK plc., Sanofi, Bharat Biotech, and BioFarma. However, Vivotif's strong brand recognition and proven efficacy give it a significant edge in the market[1].

Regional Growth and Demand

The demand for Vivotif varies regionally, with higher demand in areas where typhoid fever is more prevalent. The market growth is also influenced by the expansion of healthcare infrastructure and the adoption of inorganic growth strategies by pharmaceutical companies[4].

Innovative Solutions and Future Outlook

The commitment to innovative vaccine solutions and the push for improving vaccine accessibility are expected to further propel the market development of Vivotif. As international travel continues to rebound, the demand for travel vaccines, including Vivotif, is anticipated to increase, contributing to the overall growth of the TCV vaccines market[3].
