by Herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections are commonly occurring viral infections that affect people worldwide. The two types of HSV include HSV-1 which usually causes oral herpes infections like cold sores, and HSV-2 which usually causes genital herpes infections. Herpes simplex virus treatment agents include antiviral drugs like acyclovir, valacyclovir, and famciclovir that can help reduce symptoms caused by HSV outbreaks and recurrences. These antiviral drugs work by inhibiting viral replication to decrease lesion healing time and outbreak frequency. The global herpes simplex virus treatment market comprises oral and topical formulations of various antiviral drugs. The need for reliable herpes treatment arises due to the chronic and recurrent nature of HSV infections, along with the lack of a cure.
The global Herpes Simplex Virus Treatment Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 2735.73 Bn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 11 % over the forecast period 2024 to 2031, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
