    Analyst Opinion

    The COVID-19 Vaccines market in GCC is a rapidly developing industry, driven by the urgent need to vaccinate the population against the virus.

    Customer preferences:
    As in most countries, the primary customer preference in GCC is for vaccines that have been approved by reputable regulatory bodies such as the FDA and the European Medicines Agency. Customers also prefer vaccines that have been proven to be effective against the various strains of the virus, and those that have minimal side effects.

    Trends in the market:
    In the GCC region, there has been a significant increase in the demand for COVID-19 vaccines. This is due to the fact that many countries in the region have been hit hard by the pandemic, with high infection rates and mortality rates. As a result, governments in the region have been aggressively pushing for vaccination campaigns, which has led to a surge in demand for vaccines.

    Local special circumstances:
    One of the unique challenges faced by the GCC region is the hot climate, which can impact the storage and transportation of vaccines. To address this issue, many countries in the region have invested in cold storage facilities and transportation infrastructure to ensure that vaccines can be safely transported and stored.

    Underlying macroeconomic factors:
    The GCC region has a high GDP per capita, which means that governments in the region have the financial resources to invest in vaccine procurement and distribution. Additionally, the region has a large expatriate population, which has contributed to the spread of the virus. Governments in the region have recognized the need to vaccinate both citizens and expatriates in order to control the spread of the virus and prevent further outbreaks.

    Coronavirus (COVID-19): vaccines and vaccination campaign

    As of March 2023, more than 13 billion COVID-19 vaccine doses had been administered worldwide. Wide-spread vaccine availability, increasing herd immunity, and lower case numbers led to renewed hope and a feeling of normality in 2023. However, especially during the winter seasons and with the potential emergence of new variants of the virus (like Omicron in 2021-2022), tracking of coronavirus cases repeatedly becomes a focus for the public. Thus, there is a level of uncertainty about what developments the winter season 2023/2024 might bring.
