India Immuno-Oncology Drugs Market
Immuno-oncology is an advanced approach to cancer treatment through encouragement of immune system. Immune checkpoint inhibitors is the most well-established immune-oncology agent, which has exceptional success results overall multiple malignancies, with many approvals.
There are still many challenges in managing the toxicities and ensuring that healthcare systems in oncology, even if the immuno-oncology agents are changing the quality for life with cancer rapidly.
Moreover, development of immune-oncology drugs covers a wide range of agents such as proteins, adjuvants, peptides, antibodies, bi-specific molecules, and cellular therapies.
India immuno-oncology drugs market is estimated to be valued at US$ 265 Mn in 2021 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 13.1% during the forecast period (2021 -2028).

The increasing developments and product launches are expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period.
For instance, researchers from Tata Centre for Technology and Design, IIT Bombay, are currently working on developing indigenous CAR T-cell therapy, affordable to cancer patients in the India.
India Immuno-Oncology Drugs Market – Impact of Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic
The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is the most recent outbreak, which was first reported on December 31, 2019, in Wuhan, China. The shutdown disrupted the supply, distribution, and manufacturing of medical supplies globally. Moreover due to social distancing, footfall in clinics and health institutions was observed which has led to a decrease in the number of surgical procedures, clinical trials, research and development activities, and others, which has negatively impacted the market growth.
As stated by National Cancer Institute, bacteria and viruses have potential role in development of cancer. Nearly 1 in 4 cases of cancer are infectious by virus in developed countries and 1 in 10 cases in undeveloped countries.
Being at high risk of COVID-19, the cancer patients are at highest risk from COVID-19 infection, such as utilization of ICU and invasive ventilation in comparison to non-cancer COVID-19 patients.
India Immuno-Oncology Drugs Market: Restraint
High cost of immuno-oncology therapies makes it unaffordable for population in the low- and middle-income class to opt for these therapies, which is expected to restrain growth of the market. For instance, Keytruda (Pembrolizumab), a monoclonal antibody used for the treatment of various types of cancer costs around US$ 2,250 for a vial of 50 mg.
Moreover, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), in February 2018, around 70% of deaths from cancer occur in low and middle-income countries. This can be attributed to high prices of oncology therapies, which cannot be afforded by patients with low income.
Key Players
Major players operating in the India immuno-oncology drugs market include Amgen Inc., F. Hoffmann-La Roche AG., Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd., AstraZeneca plc, Mylan N.V., Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, Bristol - Myers Squibb, Merck & Co., Inc., BIOCAD-Biotechnology company, Reliance Life Sciences, Biocon Limited, and Hetero Drugs Limited.
Immuno-Oncology also known as cancer immunotherapy, is a form of cancer treatment that utilizes immune system of the body to manage, prevent, and destroy cancer. Immuno-oncologists are growing and becoming a part of cancer care group by rapidly increasing the cancer care area. The researchers did study on how to attack cancer by the immune system. Some of them work in labs on creating new treatments and some of them interact between the immune system and cancer cells.
India immuno-oncology drugs market is estimated to be valued at US$ 265 Mn in 2021 and is expected to increase to US$ 550 Mn by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 13.1% over the forecast period.
Market Dynamics
The rising incidence of cancer, introduction of novel immuno-oncology therapies with lesser side effects, increasing government engagement to increase cancer diagnosis, and increasing adoption of inorganic growth strategies such as mergers, acquisitions, partnerships, and collaborations by key players operating in the market are the major factors that are expected to drive the growth of the Indian immuno-oncology drugs market over the forecast period.
According to the National Cancer Registry Programme (NCRP), India, one woman dies of cervical cancer every 8 minutes in India. For every 2 women newly diagnosed with breast cancer, one woman dies of it in India. Furthermore, as many people die every day due to tobacco-related cancer diseases in India. Tobacco (smoked and smokeless) use accounted for around 317,928 deaths in men and women, in 2018.
Moreover, The WHO also suggested that people with low and middle income countries should have necessary data for cancer policies because of lack of awareness for treatment availability.
