Market Drivers:

  • Increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, such as cancer, worldwide is expected to augment growth of the global immunotherapy drugs market during the forecast period. Immunotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that helps your immune system fight cancer. Immunotherapy drugs help prevent, control, and eliminate cancer (help fight cancer). For instance, according to the American Cancer Society, in 2022, an estimated 1.9 million new cancer cases will be diagnosed in the United States and 609,360 people will die from the disease. Thus, with the increasing prevalence of cancer, the demand for immunotherapy drugs is also increasing.
  • Increasing demand for immunotherapy drugs is expected to boost the growth of the global immunotherapy drugs market over the forecast period. There is an increasing demand for safe and effective immunotherapy drugs worldwide due to increasing prevalence of chronic diseases and increasing awareness among people about cancer treatment. In March 2022, Bristol Myers Squibb announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the first drug in a new class of cancer immunotherapies as an initial treatment for advanced melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. The FDA approved relatlimab for use in combination with Bristol's immunotherapy Opdivo as an initial treatment for advanced melanoma.

Market Restraints:

  • High cost of immunotherapy treatment (cancer treatment) is expected to hamper the growth of the global immunotherapy drugs market. For instance, immunotherapies in particular often cost more than $100,000 per patient. Doctors now use immunotherapies in combination, which means those costs can quickly double or triple. Pharma companies justify high immunotherapy cost by highlighting the value of these immunotherapy drugs and the continual investment of their profits into R&D to discover new cancer drugs.
  • Side-effects of immunotherapy drugs are expected to hinder growth of the immunotherapy drugs market. People might be on immunotherapy for a long time, and side effects can occur at any point during and after treatment. A study of over a thousand cancer patients treated with immunotherapy drugs has found these patients are at higher risk of heart problems, including death from a heart attack or stroke. Moreover, immunotherapy can take a toll on your body and be both physically and mentally exhausting.

Market Opportunities:

  • High adoption of immunotherapy drugs over conventional treatments is expected to provide significant growth opportunities for players active in the global immunotherapy drugs market. For instance, immunotherapy has revolutionized cancer therapies that have begun to shift the curve of cancer patients by increasing their lifespan. Cancer immunotherapy can work on many different types of cancer, and thus, there is an increase in demand for immunotherapy drugs. In April 2021, the U.S. FDA approved Opdivo (nivolumab), in combination with certain types of chemotherapy, for the initial treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic gastric cancer, esophageal adenocarcinoma, and gastroesophageal junction cancer.
  • Increasing demand for monoclonal antibodies and biosimilars is expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities for players in the global immunotherapy drugs market. A biosimilar is a version of a known and proven biologic drug. There are many biologic drugs (immunotherapy drugs) now being used to treat cancer, and some biosimilars have been approved to treat cancer. For instance, in May 2022, Biocon Biologics and Viatris (Mylan) launched bevacizumab under the brand name Abevmy in Canada. It is a biosimilar to Roche’s Avastin and has been approved by Health Canada across four oncology indications.
