The cytomegalovirus (CMV) treatment market is anticipated to register a CAGR of nearly 6.1% during the forecast period. 

• Rising prevalence of CMV retinitis and congenital CMV infection, broaden the application range of CMV treatment, rising initiatives for creating awareness about treatments and diagnosis of these conditions, and increasing clinical trial studies for the development of new drugs are likely to be the factors responsible for the growth of this market. 
• As per the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, about one out of every 200 babies is born with congenital CMV infection. CMV infection in the neonate generates attenuated interferon response associated with a similar infection in the adult. Cytomegalovirus infection and risk of reactivation of cytomegalovirus infection have been reported during pregnancy. These can also lead to congenital CMV infection. Thus, rising disease burden is expected to boost the penetration rate of treatments.

In addition, increasing prevalence of viral infections among AIDS patients due to weakened immune systems is expected to drive the demand for cytomegalovirus drugs. For instance, according to data published by the CDC, around 36.7 million people were living with HIV infection in 2017. The wide availability of antiviral drugs to treat this ailment is expected to drive the demand for efficient treatment solutions.
