Comprehensive segmentation, regional analysis, competitive benchmarking, recent approvals, and 2026–2035 forecasts with growth drivers and challenges.

Strain selection (WHO/CDC), antigen production, formulation/filling, quality control, cold-chain distribution, administration, and post-market surveillance.

Consumers prefer broader protection (quadrivalent, high-dose), needle-free options, and combination vaccines; preference for cell-based and recombinant products is rising due to better efficacy.

FDA/EMA annual strain recommendations, WHO prequalification for LMICs, cold-chain requirements, and sustainability pressure to reduce egg-based production are key factors.
