The global immune checkpoint inhibitors market size is anticipated to reach USD 154.25 billion by 2030 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 17.9% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market growth is driven by increasing prevalence of cancer, and growing FDA approvals of immune checkpoint inhibitors. Moreover, increasing funding for advancing cancer immunotherapy coupled with rising R&D activities by research institutes and key operating players are further impelling market growth.
The rise in prevalence of multiple cancers and increase in need for appropriate treatment options are anticipated to drive market growth. For instance, according to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), over 20.7 million new cancer cases were expected in 2023.In addition, according to the Breast Cancer Statistics and Resources, about 2.3 million women were diagnosed with breast cancer across the globe in 2020. Moreover, increased awareness among healthcare providers and patients about the adverse effects of chemotherapy & radiation therapy is a primary factor influencing the growth of alternative therapeutics, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors.
Growing funding for cancer immunotherapy is anticipated to offer lucrative opportunities for the market in the near future. Government and key organizations engage constantly in activities intended at curbing cancer immunotherapy healthcare expenditure by encouraging R&D activities to advance cancer immunotherapy including immune checkpoint inhibitors. For instance, in July 2023, the Cancer Research Institute awarded about USD 28 million in grants to boost innovations in immunotherapy. Similarly, in July 2021, the Rankin government announced an investment of USD 18 million to improve cancer therapy including immune checkpoint inhibitors. Such initiatives are driving market growth.
However, the high cost associated and complications of immune checkpoint inhibitors in cancer therapy pose a significant challenge. Immune checkpoint inhibitors for cancer treatment can lead to immune-related adverse events. These complications include skin issues, gastrointestinal problems like colitis, endocrine dysfunctions, pulmonary inflammation, rheumatologic symptoms, nervous system and cardiac complications, and renal issues. Although ICIs show significant success against cancer, these side effects are anticipated to hamper market growth during the forecast period.
