North America dominates the global PD-1 and PD-L1 inhibitor market and is expected to continue its stronghold over the forecast period. North America is estimated to hold 43.8% of the market share in 2024 owing to a highly developed healthcare sector and large cancer patient pool in the region. Players in this region have extensively invested in R&D and are constantly launching innovative drug formulations with better efficacy and fewer side effects. This has resulted in rapid adoption of immune checkpoint inhibitors across various cancer indications in the country. Additionally, supportive regulatory guidelines and favorable reimbursement policies have encouraged pharmaceutical manufacturers to seek early market approvals for drug candidates. This has ensured high commercial availability and affordability of approved therapies, driving the regional market. Furthermore, higher per capita healthcare expenditure has empowered cancer patients to opt for premium treatment options like immune checkpoint inhibitors.

The Asia Pacific region has emerged as the fastest growing market for PD-1 and PD-L1 inhibitors globally. Rapid economic development, growing geriatric population susceptible to cancer and rising healthcare investments are some of the key factors propelling the Asia Pacific market. Nations like China, Japan and South Korea have well-established pharmaceutical industries that are investing heavily in innovation and manufacturing of biosimilars. This has made immune checkpoint therapies more affordable for local patients compared to imported brands.
