Anti-Venom Market Highlights
Anti-venom is a purified antibody used against venoms or venom components. In this process, animals are immunized with the venom of a snake, and then antibodies are extracted from it. Anti-venom is the only definitive treatment against snake or scorpion bites.
A number of factors such as the increasing cases of snake bites, increasing government funding, increasing patient pool, unmet medical needs, increasing awareness about antivenoms, and enhancing regulatory framework are boosting the growth of the market.
It is estimated that the anti-venom market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period of 2017–2023.
However, high costs of available anti-venoms, strict FDA regulations, difficult preparation of anti-venoms, and poor healthcare system in low- and middle-income countries may hamper the growth of the market over the forecast period.
