global interferons (ifns) market size was USD 4338 million in 2022 and market is projected to touch 8768.06 million by 2031, exhibiting a CAGR of 8% during the forecast period.

Interferons (IFNs) are a group of signaling proteins that play a crucial role in the body's immune response against viral infections, tumors, and other pathogens. They are a type of cytokine, which are small proteins secreted by cells in response to various stimuli, particularly during an immune response. There are three main types of interferons: Type I Interferons, Type II Interferons, and Type III Interferons. 

The market is expected to rise with a significant growth rate over the forecast due to the prevalence of diseases that can be treated with interferons, advancements in biotechnology and pharmaceutical research, and regulatory approvals for new indications. Furthermore, the market is segmented by type, by application, and by geographical expansion of the market. In respect of type, long-lasting type interferons (IFNs) and ordinary type interferons (IFNs) are available in the market. On the other hand, hospitals and clinics are the primary application segments to lift the demand for interferons. 

COVID-19 Impact: Researchers and Pharmaceutical Companies Explored Their Potential as a Treatment for Virus Infection

The pandemic led to an increase in research and clinical trials focused on using interferons, particularly interferon-alpha, and interferon-beta, as potential treatments for COVID-19. These trials aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of interferons in managing the symptoms and progression of the disease. Also, interferons were considered as a potential therapy for COVID-19, particularly in the early stages of the disease when antiviral interventions might be most effective. They were investigated for their ability to boost the immune response and inhibit viral replication. Thereby, the demand for interferons increased throughout the health emergency and is expected to continue to rise in the future as well due to its therapeutic benefits on other diseases’ treatment.
