Oncology Drugs Market
The global oncology drugs market is estimated to be valued at USD 231.56 BN in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 12.6% during the forecast period (2024-2031). Oncology drugs refer to medications that are used for treating cancerous tumors. The global oncology drugs market has been witnessing steady growth over the past few years owing to the rising prevalence of various types of cancers. According to the World Health Organization, the cancer burden has nearly doubled since 2000 and is expected to grow by 50% globally by 2040. The increasing incidences of lung cancer, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, and prostate cancer are the major factors fueling the demand for oncology drugs. Furthermore, the growing geriatric population and changing lifestyle habits such as tobacco smoking, alcohol consumption, poor diet, and lack of physical activity have also raised the risk of developing cancer which has augmented the sales of oncology medications. A robust pipeline of novel drug molecules and therapies along with the emergence of targeted therapies are further catalyzing market expansion. However, high treatment cost remains a bottleneck, restraining the broader adoption of cancer medications.
Market Dynamics:
The global oncology drugs market is driven by the rising prevalence of various cancer types worldwide. As per GLOBOCAN, an interactive web-based platform presenting global cancer statistics, there were around 19.3 million new cancer cases and 10 million cancer deaths globally in 2020. Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer death. The increasing demand for targeted therapies and easy availability of generic medications are providing huge growth opportunities in the market. However, factors such as stringent regulatory policies, high R&D costs involved in drug development, and frequent drug failures in clinical trials are impeding the market growth. Furthermore, patent expiry of blockbuster drugs is negatively impacting the revenues of major players. Nonetheless, emerging markets in Asia Pacific are opening up new avenues by offering potential future opportunities driven by growing awareness, healthcare spending, and demand for quality cancer treatment.
