As of March 9, 2021, there were pre-purchase agreements for over three billion doses of AstraZeneca/Oxford's vaccine. This vaccine is by far the most sought after COVID-19 vaccine, especially due to its ability to be stored at normal refrigerator temperatures, while other vaccines might need ultra cold storage. Although still in phase III of clinical trials and without approval, Novavax's vaccine is the one with the second highest number of orders worldwide.
Global COVID-19 vaccine contracts
At the same time, India had managed to secure around 2.2 billion COVID-19 vaccines doses, followed by the European Union which had signed pre-purchase agreements to secure nearly 1.84 billion doses of COVID-19 vaccines, while the United States already secured around 1.21 billion doses. AstraZeneca/Oxford's vaccine accounted for one billion doses of all vaccines secured by India, while also accounting for 300 million doses of all vaccines secured by the EU and the U.S., respectively.
Forecasted sales of COVID-19 vaccines
As of November 2021, Comirnaty by BioNTech/Pfizer was the leading COVID-19 vaccine by forecasted sales revenue. It was expected to make around 36 billion U.S. dollars in sales revenue in 2021, followed by 29 billion dollars in 2022. Meanwhile, Spikevax by Moderna was projected to make 18 billion and 22 billion U.S. dollars in 2021 and 2022, respectively. Vaxzevria by AstraZeneca was forecasted to make 1.7 billion U.S. dollars in sales, followed by an additional 1.9 billion dollars by 2022. In contrast to most other biopharmaceutical companies, AstraZeneca had announced to sell its vaccine at almost net cost price.
