Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) market is expected to reach USD 9.0 billion by 2034

Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a common viral infection caused by two types: HSV-1, which typically causes oral herpes (cold sores), and HSV-2, which primarily causes genital herpes. Both types can cause lifelong, recurrent infections and are among the most prevalent sexually transmitted and viral diseases worldwide.

While HSV is not usually life-threatening, it can cause severe complications in immunocompromised patients and neonates. With over 3.7 billion people under age 50 estimated to have HSV-1 and 491 million living with HSV-2 globally, the burden is immense. Current therapies are primarily antivirals for symptom suppression, but vaccine research, diagnostic innovation, and novel therapeutic approaches are reshaping the market outlook.

Market Overview
• Market Size (2024): USD 5.1 billion
