This report describes and explains the oncology drugs market and covers 2017-2022, termed the historic period, and 2022-2027 termed the forecast period, along with further forecasts for the period 2027-2032. The report evaluates the market across each region and for the major economies within each region.
The global oncology drugs market grew from $223.34 billion in 2022, having increased at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5 % since 2017. The market is expected to grow from $223.34 billion in 2022 to $318.31 billion in 2027 at a rate of 7.3 %. The market is then expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.9% from 2027 and reach $445.23 billion in 2032.
Growth in the historic period resulted from the rapid growth in elderly population, strong economic growth in emerging markets, increased healthcare expenditure, increased number of approvals for hematology/oncology (cancer) drugs, increase in pharmaceutical R&D expenditure, advances in cancer drug discovery and revised FDA regulations to facilitate biologics drug development. Factors that negatively affected growth in the historic period were patent expiration of drugs, pricing pressures from regulators, challenges due to regulatory changes, low healthcare access, COVID-19 impact and adverse effects of drugs.
Going forward, an increase in cancer incidence rate, a rise in healthcare expenditure, increasing older population, strong pipeline of drugs, high potential of emerging economies and rising pollution and environmental changes will drive the market growth. Factors that could hinder the growth of the oncology drugs market in the future include the high costs of drugs, expiry of major drugs patents, rise in interest rates, rising popularity of alternative therapies and natural remedies, high cost of drug development with threat of failure and Russia-Ukraine war impact.
