The growth is mainly attributed to the COVID-19 outbreak and the urgent need to treat the growing number of cases. With no effective therapeutics discovered so far, some of the existing drugs including hydroxychloroquine have been repurposed for COVID-19 infection treatment. Hydroxychloroquine is found to be effective against coronavirus in laboratory studies and in-vivo studies. The market is then expected to stabilize and reach $1,281.3 million in 2023 at a CAGR of 9.3%.

The hydroxychloroquine market consists of revenue generated by establishments through the sales of hydroxychloroquine drugs. It is an antimalarial drug used for the treatment of malaria, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and rheumatoid arthritis.

North America is anticipated to be the largest region in the global hydroxychloroquine market by the end of 2020. Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region in the forecast period.

Major players operating in the market are undertaking various strategic initiatives such as increasing production capacity and the expansion of manufacturing plants to meet the augmented global demand. For instance, in April 2020, Zydus Cadila announced that the company has ramped up its production capacity by 10 times for the production of hydroxychloroquine post the COVID 19 outbreak. Moreover, other manufacturers including IPCA Laboratories increased their monthly hydroxychloroquine production capacity five to six times during May 2020. Thus, the ramp-up of production capacities by major companies is a major trend shaping the hydroxychloroquine market.

Moreover, the World Health Organization (WHO) had suspended the clinical trials of hydroxychloroquine over safety concerns on the 25th of May 2020. However, the trials have been resumed by WHO on the 3rd of June 2020 after reviewing safety concerns. Nonetheless, the potential side effects restrict the use of hydroxychloroquine outside the hospital and clinical settings, thereby hindering the growth of the hydroxychloroquine market going forward.
