Market Overview

The South Korea bacterial vaginosis drug market represents that portion of the pharmaceutical market that includes the research and development (R&D), production, and commercialization of medication intended to prevent and treat bacterial vaginosis (BV), which is by far the most common vaginal infection in women caused by an imbalance of normal flora. The Bacterial Vaginosis Drug Market in South Korea is evolving due to the rising incidence of BV in women of child-bearing age, increasing emphasis on generally being aware of and maintaining gynecological health, and the growing demand for novel and non-antibiotic therapy options with a more manageable adverse effect profile. Supporting this change in the South Korean market is better access to health care facilities through the improvement of health infrastructure, as well as the more general acceptance of prescription-based medications. The market potential will continue to improve due to R&D efforts and clinical studies for the development of new antibiotics or even non-antibiotic therapy options that will expand and improve the available options for practicing clinicians. The challenging issue of BV repopulating vaginal flora will continue in the face of these developments, and rural South Korea will suffer from deprived awareness and access to medications.
