The global oncology-cancer drugs market was valued at $167.0 billion in 2023, and is projected to reach $335.2 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 7.2% from 2024 to 2033.
The oncology/cancer drugs encompass pharmaceuticals specifically designed to diagnose, treat, and manage various types of cancer. These drugs target cancerous cells or interfere with processes involved in cancer growth and spread. It includes a wide array of therapeutic approaches, ranging from traditional chemotherapy to more targeted therapies like immunotherapy and precision medicine.
The global oncology-cancer drugs market is driven by rise in incidence of cancer globally due to aging population, lifestyle changes, and environmental exposures, which drives the demand for innovative therapies. This growing patient population highlights the need for continuous R&D efforts to address diverse cancer types and unmet medical needs. Furthermore, progress in the field of science and technology, specifically in disciplines such as molecular biology, genomics, and immunotherapy, are propelling substantial advancements in the development of cancer drugs. The rise of precision medicine strategies, which focus on specific molecular abnormalities that fuel cancer progression, is becoming increasingly prominent. This has resulted in the creation of more potent and less harmful therapies, fueling growth in the oncology drugs market.
However, high development costs of oncology drugs are extensive and costly, often requiring significant investments in preclinical studies, clinical trials, and regulatory approvals which limit the adoption of cancer drugs. Nevertheless, approval from regulatory authorities associated with new treatments and drugs is expected to create several opportunities for the market players. For instance, in October 2023, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved several new treatments for a range of cancers over the summer. In July, the FDA approved a new indication for Jemperli (dostarlimab) in endometrial cancer.
