The immune checkpoint inhibitors market was valued for $40,126.30 million in 2022 and is estimated to reach $189,379.51 million by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 16.8% from 2023 to 2032. Immune checkpoint inhibitors represent a category of drugs utilized in cancer immunotherapy. They function by targeting specific proteins on immune or cancer cells, thereby boosting the body's immune response against cancer. While the immune system serves as a critical defense mechanism against abnormal or cancerous cells, certain mechanisms, known as immune checkpoints, regulate its function, preventing excessive attacks on healthy cells.
Cancer cells exploit these checkpoints to evade the immune system's detection and destruction. Immune checkpoint inhibitors work by targeting and blocking specific proteins, such as PD-1 (programmed cell death protein 1), PD-L1 (programmed death-ligand 1), or CTLA-4 (cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4), which are involved in these checkpoints. By inhibiting these proteins, these drugs enable the immune system to more effectively identify and combat cancer cells.
The major factors driving the growth of immune checkpoint inhibitors market are advancements in R&D, increase in prevalence of cancer cases, increase in number of clinical trials, expanding research initiatives, strategic collaborations, and growing approvals for new indications. Cancer remains a leading cause of mortality globally, with continuous rise in diagnosed cases across various cancer types. For instance, National Cancer Institute, Division of Cancer Control & Population Sciences (DCCPS), stated that, 623,405 people are living with metastatic breast, prostate, lung, colorectal cancer, or metastatic melanoma in the U.S. As the burden of cancer grows, there is a pressing need for more effective treatment options, leading to the heightened demand for immune checkpoint inhibitors.
Further, increase in the number of clinical trials focusing on the immune checkpoint inhibitors is expected to fuel the market growth. There is a growing inclination among pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology firms, and academic institutions to allocate more resources toward clinical research. This investment aims to scrutinize the safety, effectiveness, and possible uses of immune checkpoint inhibitors across diverse cancer types. These trials, focused on investigating novel drug combinations, evaluating treatment reactions, and pinpointing predictive biomarkers, significantly contribute to broadening the comprehension of immune-driven treatments. For instance, in July 2023, Merck & Co., Inc., and Moderna, Inc. announced the initiation of the pivotal Phase 3 randomized V940-001 clinical trial evaluating V940 (mRNA-4157), an investigational individualized neoantigen therapy (INT), in combination with KEYTRUDA, Merck’s anti-PD-1 therapy, as an adjuvant treatment in patients with resected high-risk (Stage IIB-IV) melanoma. The results from these trials not only drive drug development but also inform treatment decisions, further boosting the growth of the immune checkpoint inhibitors market.
Furthermore, strategic collaborations among pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology firms, and academic institutions have emerged as a key factor propelling the growth of the immune checkpoint inhibitors market. Partnerships and alliances facilitate the consolidation of expertise, resources, and technologies, expediting the drug discovery and development process. For instance, in May 2020, Innovent Biologics, Inc., a world-class biopharmaceutical company that develops, manufactures, and commercializes high-quality medicines for the treatment of cancer, autoimmune, metabolic & other major diseases, and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, announced a strategic collaboration agreement to co-develop TYVYT (sintilimab injection), Innovent’s anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody, for treating rare cancers in the U.S. In addition, collaborative efforts facilitate the exploration of diverse therapeutic applications, the conduct of larger clinical trials, and the accelerated translation of research findings into clinical applications. Such collaborations have led to the successful development and commercialization of several immune checkpoint inhibitors, widening their reach and applications in oncology.
The immune checkpoint inhibitors market is segmented on the basis of product type, application, and region. By product type, the market is categorized into CTLA-4 inhibitor, PD-1 inhibitor, and PD-L1 inhibitor. On the basis of application, the market is classified into lung cancer, bladder cancer, melanoma, colorectal cancer, Hodgkin lymphoma, and others. Region-wise, the market is analyzed across North America (the U.S., Canada, and Mexico), Europe (Germany, France, the UK, and rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (Japan, China, Australia, India, South Korea, and rest of Asia-Pacific), and LAMEA (Brazil, and rest of LAMEA).
Major key players that operate in the global immune checkpoint inhibitors market are Merck & Co., Inc., AstraZeneca plc, F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd., Merck KGaA, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, BeiGene, Ltd., Shanghai Junshi Biosciences Co., Ltd., GlaxoSmithKline plc, and Innovent Biologics, Inc.
