A Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) inhibitor is a substance that hinders programmed cell death by acting as an anti-apoptotic factor for hematopoietic cells. VEGF, a growth factor, promotes vascular permeability, potentially facilitating the spread of tumors through the bloodstream and enhancing their access to oxygen and nutrients.
The primary categories of VEGF inhibitors include Avastin, Tecentriq, Cometriq, Eylea, and others. Avastin is a medication designed to assist individuals with wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Additionally, it is utilized to treat diabetic eye issues and other retinal conditions. Administered into the eye, Avastin helps delay the loss of eyesight associated with certain disorders. Various routes of administration, including oral and intravenous, are employed in the fields of oncology, ophthalmology, and other medical domains.
The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor market statistics, including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor market share, detailed vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor industry. This vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $43.44 billion in 2024 to $46.64 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increase in cancer prevalence, strong economic growth in emerging markets, increase in pharmaceutical R&D expenditure, increased healthcare expenditure, government initiatives and rapid growth in elderly population.
The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $59.48 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing prevalence of cancer, rising prevalence of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), rise in healthcare expenditure, high potential of emerging economies, high penetration of the biosimilar drugs and increasing geriatric population. Major trends in the forecast period include offering combination therapies to patients in order to combat advanced cancers and improve patient life, focusing on strategic collaborations to boost innovations and establish category leadership, investing extensively in R&D activities for the development of effective and innovative drugs, focusing on the production of biosimilars in order to cater to a wider market by making treatment more affordable and focusing on reducing dosages for wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in order to improve patient welfare.
The rising prevalence of cancer and macular degeneration is expected to drive the growth of the VEGF inhibitor market. For example, in January 2023, a report by the American Cancer Society, a U.S.-based health organization, projected approximately 59,610 new cases of leukemia across all types and around 23,710 related fatalities in 2023 in the United States. Additionally, acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is expected to account for an estimated 20,380 new cases and about 11,310 deaths. Thus, the increasing prevalence of both cancer and macular degeneration is anticipated to support growth in the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor market over the forecast period.
The expanding geriatric population is likely to further drive the VEGF inhibitor market's growth. Defined as individuals aged 65 and above, the geriatric population has increased healthcare needs due to age-related changes. This demographic is growing as advancements in healthcare, improved living conditions, and better chronic disease management increase life expectancy. VEGF inhibitors are particularly beneficial for older adults, targeting age-associated diseases, including certain cancers and ocular conditions, which are more common in this age group. For instance, in October 2022, a report by the World Health Organization (WHO), a Switzerland-based international public health agency, projected that one in six people globally will be aged 60 or older by 2030, with this number reaching 2.1 billion by 2050. Consequently, the increasing aging population is expected to boost demand in the VEGF inhibitor market.
Key players in the VEGF inhibitor industry are increasingly engaging in collaborations and partnerships to broaden their product portfolios by developing new treatments. Product portfolio expansion is a strategic approach enabling companies to grow their businesses and increase market share by meeting consumer demand. This development process encompasses the stages of conceptualization, design, creation, and marketing of newly introduced or rebranded products or services. For example, in April 2024, Santen Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., a Japan-based pharmaceutical firm, partnered with Bayer Yakuhin, a Japanese pharmaceutical and life sciences company, to launch the Ophthalmic VEGF Inhibitor Eylea 8mg Solution for Intravitreal Injection at a concentration of 114.3 mg/mL. This treatment targets conditions like age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) and diabetic macular edema (DME), both of which can cause vision loss. With a higher concentration than prior versions, Eylea 8mg offers an extended dosing interval of up to 16 weeks, minimizing the need for frequent injections while ensuring continued efficacy and safety. This partnership aims to expand the availability of this advanced ophthalmic solution, reducing the treatment burden on patients and setting a new standard of care.
Major companies in the VEGF inhibitors market are dedicated to introducing innovative products through collaborations to maximize their revenues. Collaborative innovation involves developing new ideas, products, or services through partnerships with external entities such as customers, suppliers, and other stakeholders. For instance, in June 2022, Biogen Inc., a US-based biotechnology company, and Samsung Bioepis Co. Ltd., a South Korea-based biopharmaceutical company, jointly launched BYOOVIZ (ranibizumab-nuna), a biosimilar referencing LUCENTIS (ranibizumab). BYOOVIZ, the first ophthalmology biosimilar in the United States, offers expanded alternatives and cost reduction for existing anti-VEGF treatments. It can be used to treat conditions such as Myopic Choroidal Neovascularization (mCNV), Macular Edema Following Retinal Vein Occlusion (RVO), and Neovascular (Wet) Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD), as it is a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor.
In January 2023, Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited, a Japan-based pharmaceutical company, acquired the worldwide license for Fruquintinib, a highly selective oral VEGFR1/2/3 tyrosine kinase inhibitor, from HUTCHMED Limited for an undisclosed amount. Under the agreement, Takeda gains exclusive global rights to develop and market fruquintinib for all indications and regions outside mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau. HUTCHMED Limited, a China-based pharmaceutical company, specializes in the development of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) 1/2/3.
