The global Antivenom Serum market size was USD 959.2 million in 2022 and market is projected to touch USD 1333.4 million by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 3.3% during the forecast period.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the antivenom serum market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

Antivenom serum, also known simply as antivenom or antivenin, is a medical treatment used to counteract the effects of venom from various poisonous animals, such as snakes, spiders, scorpions, and other venomous creatures. When a person is bitten or stung by a venomous animal, the venom can cause a range of harmful effects, including tissue damage, pain, paralysis, and even death in some cases.

Antivenom serum is created by collecting venom from the venomous animal and injecting it into a host animal, usually a horse or other large mammal. The host animal's immune system produces antibodies in response to the venom, which is then harvested from the animal's blood. These antibodies are purified and processed to create the antivenom serum.

The market is predicted to rise with a higher growth rate over this forecast due to the prevalence of venomous animals in certain regions, increased public awareness and education about venomous animal encounters, tourism, and outdoor activities. Furthermore, the market is bifurcated by type, by application and regional expansion of the market. With regard to type, human and animal types of serum are available in the market. Whereas, monovalent and polyvalent are the leading application segment in the market.

COVID-19 Impact: Pandemic Restriction on Outdoor Activities Impacted the Market

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the antivenom serum market in various ways. Mainly, supply chains were affected, potentially causing shortages, while diverted healthcare resources and reduced access to medical care delayed treatment for venomous bites. Besides, research and development efforts were slowed, tourism-dependent regions saw decreased demand, economic hardships affected affordability, and shifts in resources impacted production. However, the market is anticipated to rebound in this forecast due to the rising number of tourism and outdoor activities and growing medical research.

Latest Trends

"Trend of Improved Formulations Develop Opportunity for the Market"
