North America to Continue as Market Leader

Among all the regional markets for antiviral drugs, namely, Asia pacific, North America, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa, and Europe, the leading position has been acquired by North America. With a share of more than 50%, the North America market for antiviral drugs stood strong in 2015 and is expected to remain dominant over the next few years.
