The global multiple myeloma market reached US$ 22.3 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ 34.58 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period 2024-2032.
Multiple myeloma is a rare and aggressive cancer that originates in the plasma cells, a type of white blood cell found in the bone marrow. This condition leads to the uncontrolled growth of abnormal plasma cells, which crowd out normal blood cells, resulting in various complications such as bone damage, kidney dysfunction, and weakened immunity.
The multiple myeloma treatment market has witnessed substantial growth, driven by increasing disease awareness, rising incidence rates, and the development of innovative therapies. The market is expected to continue expanding as new therapies and treatment combinations enter the pipeline.
Market Dynamics: Drivers & Restraints
Rising number of product approvals
The rising number of product approvals is significantly driving the multiple myeloma treatment market by expanding the range of available therapies and offering new solutions for patients. With the rising research and development of new solutions there has been growing products approvals.
Several innovative solutions such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy treatments are receiving approvals by meeting the safety and efficacy standards set by the regulatory bodies. For instance, in April 2024, Johnson & Johnson received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for CARVYKTI (ciltacabtagene autoleucel; cilta-cel), a treatment for adult patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have undergone at least one prior line of therapy, including a proteasome inhibitor and an immunomodulatory agent, and are refractory to lenalidomide. This approval makes CARVYKTI the first and only B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-targeted therapy authorized for use in multiple myeloma patients as early as their first relapse.
In September 2024, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Sarclisa (isatuximab) in combination with bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (VRd) as a first-line treatment for adult patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) who are ineligible for autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT). Sarclisa is the first anti-CD38 therapy combined with the standard VRd regimen to significantly reduce the risk of disease progression or death by 40% compared to VRd alone in patients with NDMM who are not candidates for transplant.
High Cost of Treatment
The high cost of multiple myeloma treatment is expected to hinder the multiple myeloma market growth. The high costs of the treatment are expected to reduce the number of individuals from undergoing treatment. For instance according to the National Institute of Health in 2022, multiple myeloma related healthcare costs (US$670,561 per patient) contributed on average 88.5% to the total all-cause healthcare costs; the majority (67.2%) of MM-related healthcare costs were attributed to drug and infusion costs (US$450,952 per patient). Thus, the expensiveness of treatment could not be afforded by the individuals with financial barriers which could impact the market growth negatively.
The global multiple myeloma market is segmented based on type, treatment, end-user, and region.
Immunotherapy segment is expected to dominate the global multiple myeloma market share
Immunotherapy segment holds a major portion of the multiple myeloma market share. Additionally, the increased investment in research and development by pharmaceutical companies is fostering innovation in this area. As more advanced therapies enter the market, they are expected to attract significant attention from healthcare providers and patients
Several ongoing research and developments for multiple myeloma and the increasing preference by the patients are expected to hold the segment in the dominant position. For instance, in August 2023, Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson announced received the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accelerated approval of TALVEY (talquetamab-tgvs), a first-in-class bispecific antibody for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have received at least four prior lines of therapy, including a proteasome inhibitor, an immunomodulatory agent, and an anti-CD38 antibody.
North America is expected to hold a significant position in the global multiple myeloma market share
North America is expected to hold a dominant position in the global multiple myeloma market. This is primarily driven by the increasing occurrence of multiple myeloma, rising approvals of the products in the region and the presence of large number of market players in the region.
The companies in the region are actively developing novel drugs, which enhances competition and drives the region's market growth. Market players are increasingly receiving approvals for the innovative solutions that are being developed. For instance, in September 2024, Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Shilpa Medicare Limited ("Shilpa") received the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of BORUZU. This new ready-to-use oncology product reduces the compounding preparation steps typically required with administration. BORUZU (bortezomib injection), a proteasome inhibitor, is used for the treatment of multiple myeloma and mantle cell lymphoma.
In March 2024, Poseida Therapeutics, Inc. received Orphan Drug Designation for the treatment of multiple myeloma to P-BCMA-ALLO1, a novel BCMA-targeted allogeneic, T stem cell memory (TSCM)-rich chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T therapy candidate. The Company is investigating P-BCMA-ALLO1 in partnership with Roche for the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). Thus, the above factors are expected to drive the region's market growth.
The major global players in the multiple myeloma market include Amgen Inc., Sanofi, Novartis AG, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., Johnson & Johnson Services, Inc., Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, ONO PHARMACEUTICAL CO., LTD., Pfizer Inc., Karyopharm and Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLC. among others.
