JYNNEOS (Monkeypox Vaccine) Supports the Price Rise of Gentamicin Sulphate in the USA

Los Angeles, US: The prices of Gentamicin Sulphate in the U.S. showcased an upsurge in early August and have continued to rise. Gentamicin Sulphate prices exhibited an upward trend in the North American region on the back of a tight supply from the exporting countries such as China. Lessened production activities of various manufacturing units such as Bavarian Nordic and the heightened demand from the market further contributed to the rise in Gentamicin Sulphate price value in the U.S. market.

In the U.S., the Gentamicin Sulphate market is on the higher side owing to healthy demand from the manufacturer of Monkey-pox vaccine as Gentamicin and ciprofloxacin - one of the key ingredients used for the production of JYNNEOS approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently in August, which triggers Gentamicin Sulphate prices. With this, the price value recorded for Gentamicin Sulphate increased by 6.6 percent.

According to FDA Commissioner Robert M. Califf's statement from the last week of August, the continuous spread of the monkeypox virus at an intense rate has made it clear that the current Vaccine supply will not meet the ongoing surging essentials. This, in turn, boosted the requirements for the pharmaceutical API, such as Gentamicin Sulphate, owing to its limited supply. Also, amid a shortage of monkeypox vaccine doses, the WHO and FDA have declared public health emergencies.

Additionally, a slowdown momentum in China had a ripple effect on the import-oriented countries, including the U.S. The primary reason for the downturn market trend is the Zero-covid Policy. Also, the power cuts, in turn, have impacted the production momentum and, at the same time, the exporting propensity. Furthermore, this has led to the shortage of available Gentamicin Sulphate in the U.S. market, resulting in a price surge.

According to the ChemAnalyst: Due to the interrupted supply and difficulty in the availability of Gentamicin Sulphate, likely to increase its prices in forthcoming months, and this movement will continue until and unless the supply flow of Gentamicin Sulphate improves in the country; with sufficient inventories for feedstock."
