Top 100 companies: Vaccines

This Data Table contains companies engaging research and development of new vaccines and companies that distribute medical products and offer services. Vaccination is the process in which a person gains immunity from a disease by being injected with a weakened or destroyed version of the bacteria or virus. This ‘teaches’ the body to create antibodies and therefore a resistance to the illness. It is much safer than being exposed to and catching the disease in normal life. Vaccination has been responsible for the eradication of smallpox, which, before a vaccine was found, was one of the most widespread diseases for hundreds of years. The vaccines with the highest coverage worldwide in 2019 included DTP1, BCG, and Pol3. In that year, GlaxoSmithKline was the largest vaccine company in the world based on revenue, generating US$9.1 billion with vaccinations. This Company Insights data table shows essential KPIs of the world’s leading companies associated with the “Vaccines” trend. It ranks them by overall revenue and includes household names such as Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson.
