Antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiparasitic drug development, along with vaccine development, make up the infectious disease biotech segment. The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically accelerated FDA Emergency Use Authorization pathways, created dozens of new biotech entrants, and demonstrated the speed at which the agency can move when public health urgency is high. Antifungal resistance and antibacterial resistance (AMR) represent growing unmet needs with Priority Review and QIDP designations available to incentivize development. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), influenza, and emerging pathogens remain active areas. Post-pandemic, the sector faces normalization of demand but retains expanded regulatory relationships and mRNA platform technologies.
