Global Cancer Therapy Market Drivers:

Increasing incidence of cancer around the world is expected to augment the growth of the global cancer therapy market over the forecast period. Cancer therapy helps cure a cancer, shrink a cancer, or stop the progression of a cancer. Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells, while radiation therapy uses high-energy beams to kill cancer cells. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cancer was a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for nearly 10 million deaths in 2020, or nearly one in six deaths. The most common cancers were breast, lung, prostate, and colon and rectum cancer.

Favorable government initiatives and government initiatives for cancer awareness are expected to boost the growth of the global cancer therapy market during the forecast period. For instance, in August 2022, the National Cancer Grid (NCG) established the Koita Centre for Digital Oncology (KCDO) to promote use of digital technologies/tools to improve cancer care across India. Cancer care is evolving rapidly, and cancer therapies are becoming indispensable in enhancing cancer care worldwide. KCDO will also partner with academic and research organizations to promote research and development in cancer care.

Global Cancer Therapy Market Opportunities:

Increase in adoption or use of cancer therapies across the globe is expected to provide significant growth opportunities for players in the global cancer therapy market. For instance, with the rise in prevalence of cancer, the demand for safe and effective cancer therapy is also increasing rapidly. In May 2022, UVA Health and the Charlottesville-based Focused Ultrasound Center launched the Focused Ultrasound Cancer Immunotherapy Center, the world’s first center dedicated specifically to advancing a focused ultrasound and cancer immunotherapy treatment approach that could revolutionize 21st-century cancer care.

Increase in number of clinical trials or increase in research and development around the world is expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities for players in the global cancer therapy market. For instance, in June 2021, the Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy emerged as a breakthrough in cancer treatment. Clinical trials conducted globally have shown promising results in end stage patients, especially in patients suffering from Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia. This is a first in India gene therapy in early phase pilot clinical trial. The central government’s National Biopharma Mission-BIRAC has approved 19.15 crore (INR) to the team for conducting a first-in-human phase-1/2 clinical trial of the CAR-T cells.

Global Cancer Therapy Market Trends:

Preventing cancer is a significant public health challenge worldwide, with an increasing burden in almost every country. Thus, with the rise in burden of cancer, demand for safe and effective cancer therapy is also increasing with a rapid pace. As a result, market players are focusing on developing and launching novel therapies, and this trend is expected to continue during the forecast period, driving the growth of the cancer therapy market.

Moreover, the recent trend in the global cancer therapy market is rise in use of targeted therapies for cancers. There are several types of targeted therapies, such as gene expression modulators, hormone therapies, apoptosis inducers, signal transduction inhibitors, angiogenesis inhibitors, and many other therapies. This trend is also expected to continue during the forecast period, driving the growth of the global cancer therapy market.

Global Cancer Therapy Market Restraints:

High cost of cancer therapies is expected to hamper the growth of the global cancer therapy market. For instance, on average, the cost of cancer treatment in India is around INR 503,118 (US$ 6,300) with a minimum expense of INR 90,561 (US$ 1,134) and a maximum cost of INR 27,67,149 (US$ 34,650). However, worldwide, the cost of treatment depends on the stage at which the cancer was detected and the type of cancer. The high cost associated with oncology therapy is restraining the growth of the global cancer therapy market.

Side effects of cancer treatment are expected to hinder growth of the global cancer therapy market. For instance, despite significant advancements in cancer therapy, such as immunotherapy, clinical application of immunotherapy for cancer patients has some challenges associated with safety and efficacy. Some types of cancer therapies may cause severe or even fatal allergic and inflammation-related reactions. However, these reactions are rare.
