Trends in the market: Several countries in Southeast Asia, such as Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam, have been investing heavily in their healthcare infrastructure, which has led to an increase in demand for antiviral drugs. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has further accelerated the demand for antiviral drugs in the region, with many countries stockpiling these drugs to prepare for future outbreaks.

This is particularly problematic in countries with weaker regulatory frameworks, such as Indonesia and the Philippines. To combat this, several governments in the region have implemented stricter regulations and increased enforcement efforts.

In addition, the region's large population and high population density make it particularly susceptible to viral outbreaks, which has also contributed to the growth of the antiviral drug market.Overall, the Antiviral Drugs market in Southeast Asia is expected to continue its growth trajectory in the coming years, driven by increasing healthcare awareness, government investment in healthcare infrastructure, and the ongoing threat of viral outbreaks. However, the prevalence of counterfeit drugs and other regulatory challenges will need to be addressed to ensure the continued growth and success of the market.
