The cold sore treatment market was valued at USD 825.24 million in 2022, and a CAGR of 6.6% is expected during the forecast period. A cold sore occurs on the lips or around the mouth. The rising prevalence of HSV infection across the globe acts as a major driver that will result in the expansion of the market’s growth. HSV increases the chance of acquiring and transmitting HIV infection and significant complications, such as encephalitis. This, combined with the rising number of patients with chronic conditions, is one of the major factors driving the growth of the market. Rising healthcare expenditure and rising investment in improving healthcare infrastructure worldwide are contributing to the growth of the market.


Impact of Covid-19

COVID-19 had a mixed impact on the cold sore treatment market. The increased emphasis on personal hygiene and health awareness led to a surge in demand for over-the-counter treatments and preventive measures. On the other hand, disruptions in the supply chain, healthcare priorities shifting towards COVID-19, and restrictions on non-essential medical services affected the market negatively, causing fluctuations in demand and supply. Some resources and focus shifted from non-COVID research, affecting potential advancements in cold sore treatment. With lockdowns and social distancing, fewer people sought medical consultations for non-severe conditions like cold sores, opting for home remedies or online consultations.

Growth Drivers

The high incidence of the HSV (Herpes simplex virus) continues to drive the demand for effective treatment. Ongoing research and development for innovative treatment options, such as antiviral medications and topical creams, enhances efficacy and convenience for patients. Greater awareness about the importance of early treatment and preventive measures among the population fuels the demand for over-the-counter remedies. Factors like stress, a weakened immune system, and exposure to triggers increase the frequency of outbreaks, leading individuals to seek reliable treatments. The willingness of consumers to spend on healthcare and wellness products contributes to market growth, enabling access to a variety of treatment options. The aging population tends to be more susceptible to cold-sore problems.

Increased accessibility of cold sore treatments through online platforms and e-commerce facilities makes purchasing easier, widening the market reach. Increasing demand for anti-viral medication for the treatment of cold sores is driving the growth of the market. Increasing use of lip balms and creams, along with pain relievers, is used for treatment purposes.
