Herpes zoster, another name for shingles, is a viral infection that damages the brain-originating cranial nerves. It is brought on by the same virus that causes chicken pox, varicella zoster. Anyone who has had chicken pox in the past has the risk of acquiring shingles since the virus can remain dormant in the body for many years.

The main factor driving the growth of the shingles vaccine market is the rising incidence and prevalence of shingles. Demand for shingles vaccinations has been sparked by an ageing population as well as the rising approval and introduction of improved shingles vaccines. For instance, the national medical administration in August 2019 approved GSK's Shingrix vaccine for the prevention of shingles in adults, following the European Commission's approval in 2018. The variables that are anticipated to assist the expansion of the market also include escalating government initiatives and an increase in healthcare awareness. The market's expansion is being held back by the shingle vaccine's expensive price, though.

For its Shingrix shingles vaccine, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), a market leader in vaccines, applied for U.S. FDA approval in October 2016. In its clinical studies, Shingrix outperformed Zostavax in terms of results. In those over 70, the vaccination had a 90% success rate. The vaccine was shown to be 97% effective all around. Its greater efficacy, even among the elderly population, is anticipated to promote its use globally. This outstanding trail performance would give Shingrix a significant competitive advantage in the existing Zostavax-dominated worldwide market. According to reports, the corporation requested regulatory permissions for the markets of Europe and Canada in 2016 and Japan in 2017.
