by The global targeted cancer therapies market has been witnessing significant growth due to rising investments in biotechnology sector for developing advanced targeted therapies to treat various cancer types. Targeted cancer therapies either try to block specific molecular pathways involved in cancer growth and progression or boost the immune system’s ability to fight cancer. Some common targeted therapies include monoclonal antibodies, small molecule inhibitors, immunotherapies, and CAR T-cell therapies.
The global targeted cancer therapies Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 1,603.7 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 15% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Dynamics:
Rising investments in biotech sector: Increased investments by both private and public sectors in biotechnology, especially in areas such as cancer research is one of the key drivers of the targeted cancer therapies market. For instance, CureMatch, an AI-based precision medicine platform raised US$ 16 Mn in Series A funding in 2022 to develop targeted therapies for lung cancer patients.
Rising biotech sector propelling market opportunities: Robust funding and promising pipeline of novel targeted therapies has created vast opportunities for drug makers, biotech startups as well as pharmaceutical giants. This has also attracted pharmaceutical giants towards strategic acquisitions and partnerships with biotech companies to leverage innovative targeted therapies and expedite product development process. For example, in 2022, Novartis acquired TScan Therapeutics, a biotech focused on developing targeted therapies for hematologic malignancies and solid tumors using gamma delta T cells, for approximately US$ 300 Mn.
Segment Analysis
The Targeted Cancer Therapies Market Size is segmented by technology into small molecule drugs, immunotherapy, targeted protein drugs, and others. The small molecule drugs segment dominates the market and accounted for over 30% share in 2023. These drugs are easy to manufacture and administer to patients making them an attractive option for pharmaceutical companies.
PEST Analysis
Political: Government support for cancer research through funding and regulations have increased in major markets positively impacting the targeted cancer therapies market. However, pricing pressures may hamper revenue growth.
