Leukemia Therapeutics Market Report 2025

This Leukemia Therapeutics market report covers market characteristics, size and growth, segmentation, regional and country breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends and strategies for this market. It traces the market’s historic and forecast market growth by geography.

The leukemia therapeutics market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $17.57 billion in 2024 to $18.85 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in geriatric population, improved diagnostics leading to early detection of leukemia, increasing prevalence of leukemia, growing investment in research and development, expansion of personalized medicine approaches.

The leukemia therapeutics market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $25.91 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to development of novel immunotherapies for leukemia, growing focus on precision medicine in leukemia treatment, expansion of indications for existing leukemia therapies, increased adoption of gene therapies, advances in supportive care for leukemia patients. Major trends in the forecast period include integration of biomarker-driven approaches, rise of combination therapies for enhanced efficacy, emphasis on minimal residual disease monitoring, increasing use of car-t cell therapies, exploration of targeted therapies based on leukemia subtypes.

The leukemia therapeutics market is experiencing growth driven by the increasing prevalence of leukemia, a type of blood cancer characterized by uncontrolled blood cell growth originating in the bone marrow. The global accessibility of medical treatment for leukemia patients and the expanding array of treatment options contribute to the growing demand for leukemia therapeutics. As of January 2023, the American Cancer Society projects around 59,610 new cases of leukemia and approximately 23,710 leukemia-related deaths in the United States. Additionally, an estimated 20,380 new cases of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and approximately 11,310 AML-related deaths are expected in the same year. Thus, the escalating incidence of leukemia is a significant factor propelling the growth of the leukemia therapeutics market.

The growth of the geriatric population is anticipated to further fuel the expansion of the leukemia therapeutics market. The term 'geriatric population' pertains to individuals aged 65 and older. With the aging of the population, the heightened risk of developing leukemia and related blood disorders increases, leading to a greater demand for leukemia therapeutics. According to a report by the World Health Organization (WHO) in October 2022, it is projected that one in six people globally will be 60 or older by 2030, and by 2050, the worldwide population of individuals aged 60 and older will reach 2. 1 billion. Consequently, the rise in the geriatric population serves as a driving force for the growth of the leukemia therapeutics market.

Major companies in the leukemia therapeutics market are embracing a strategic partnership approach to facilitate the launch and commercialization of their first advanced cancer treatment in the United States. Strategic partnerships involve companies leveraging each other’s strengths and resources to achieve mutual benefits and success. For instance, in February 2023, Xspray Pharma AB, a Sweden-based biotechnology firm, partnered with EVERSANA, a US-based company that provides commercial services to the life sciences industry. This collaboration aims to support the U.S. launch and commercialization of Xspray’s first innovative cancer therapy, Dasynoc, which is intended for treating chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Under this agreement, Xspray Pharma will maintain financial and strategic control while granting EVERSANA exclusive commercialization rights to aid in the Dasynoc launch, scheduled for the second half of 2023.

Major companies in the leukemia therapeutics market are focusing on developing innovative products, such as CAR-T therapies, to reach larger customer bases, boost sales, and increase revenue. Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy represents a revolutionary approach to immunotherapy for treating certain types of cancer. For example, in March 2024, Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, a US-based pharmaceutical firm, announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had approved Breyanzi (lisocabtagene maraleucel; liso-cel). This therapy is a CD19-directed CAR-T cell treatment specifically designed for adult patients with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) who have already undergone at least two previous lines of therapy, which must include both a Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor and a B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL-2) inhibitor.

In February 2024, AstraZeneca, a UK-based pharmaceutical company, acquired Gracell Biotechnologies Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition strengthens AstraZeneca’s growing pipeline of cell therapies by incorporating GC012F, a novel clinical-stage FasTCAR-enabled autologous chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy that targets both BCMA and CD19. Gracell will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of AstraZeneca, continuing its activities in both China and the United States. Gracell Biotechnologies Inc. is a China-based biopharmaceutical company specializing in cell therapies for leukemia and autoimmune diseases.

Leukemia therapeutics refer to treatments used to address an aggressive malignancy characterized by an excessive presence of myeloblasts, immature white blood cells, in the blood or bone marrow. The choice of treatment for leukemia depends on factors such as age, overall health, the specific type of leukemia, its current state within the body, and other relevant considerations.

The primary types of treatments in leukemia therapeutics include chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and other specific treatments. Immunotherapy involves stimulating the body's immune system to recognize and eliminate malignant cells. This approach is applied to treat various types of leukemia, including acute lymphocytic leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia, using both small molecules and biologics. End users of leukemia therapeutics include hospitals, homecare settings, specialty clinics, and other relevant healthcare providers.
