Glioma Treatment Market Report 2025

The glioma treatment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.06 billion in 2024 to $5.39 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the risen incidence of gliomas, advancements in molecular understanding, evolution of standard therapies, clinical trials and research progress, and improved imaging and diagnostic techniques.

The glioma treatment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.97 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to personalized therapies and biomarker discovery, immunotherapeutic advancements, integration of targeted therapies, the emergence of novel therapeutic platforms, and collaborative research initiatives. Major trends in the forecast period include blood-brain barrier penetrating agents, liquid biopsy for monitoring, focus on the quality of life and supportive care, genetic and molecular subtyping, patient advocacy and involvement.

The anticipated increase in the incidence of brain and CNS tumors is expected to drive the growth of the glioma treatment market. Brain and spinal cord tumors are abnormal masses in the brain or central nervous system. Glioma treatment is utilized in the management of brain and spinal cord cancer to eliminate any residual cancer cells or portions of the tumor post-surgery. For instance, as of August 2021, the American Cancer Society reported an estimated 83,570 cases, including 24,530 malignant tumors and 59,040 nonmalignant tumors, with 18,600 deaths from brain and other CNS cancers in the United States for the year 2021. Hence, the increasing incidence of brain and spinal cord tumors is a key driver for the growth of the glioma treatment market.

The rising demand for personalized medicine is projected to drive the growth of the glioma treatment market in the coming years. Personalized medicine involves a tailored healthcare approach that considers individual patient characteristics, such as genetics, environment, and lifestyle, to improve treatment effectiveness and outcomes. Several factors are fueling this demand, including advancements in genomics, increased patient empowerment, and enhanced treatment efficacy. Identifying biomarkers associated with gliomas is crucial for predicting treatment responses and outcomes, allowing for the development of personalized treatment plans that cater to the unique characteristics of each patient. For example, in February 2024, the Personalized Medicine Coalition, a US-based non-profit organization, reported that the FDA approved 16 new personalized therapies for patients with rare diseases in 2023, a significant increase from six approvals in 2022. Thus, the growing demand for personalized medicine is a key driver of the glioma treatment market.

Product innovation is a significant trend gaining traction in the glioma treatment market. Leading companies in this sector are introducing new and innovative products to maintain their competitive edge. For example, in June 2024, Servier Pharmaceuticals, a pharmaceutical company based in France, received FDA approval for VORANIGO (vorasidenib) tablets. This approval marks a notable milestone as it represents the first targeted therapy for Grade 2 IDH-mutant glioma. Vorasidenib is a dual inhibitor that targets mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) 1 and 2, which are frequently associated with gliomas. These mutations lead to the production of 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG), a metabolite that fosters tumor growth and survival. By inhibiting these enzymes, vorasidenib lowers 2-HG levels, potentially slowing the progression of the tumor.

Prominent companies in the glioma treatment market are concentrating on the introduction of advanced targeted therapy solutions, particularly combination medicines, to gain a competitive advantage. Combination medicines aim to offer a more effective and convenient treatment option for patients dealing with complex medical conditions such as glioma. For instance, in May 2023, Novartis AG, a Swiss pharmaceutical corporation, received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Tafinlar (dabrafenib) + Mekinist (trametinib) for the treatment of pediatric patients (at least one year old) with low-grade gliomas (LGGs) harboring a BRAF V600E mutation and requiring systemic therapy. This approval marks the first combination targeted medication endorsed for the treatment of BRAF V600E LGG in pediatric patients, offering a potential new standard of care therapy option. Pediatric LGG is the most prevalent type of pediatric brain cancer, with BRAF V600 mutations present in 15-25% of cases, associated with poor survival outcomes and less favorable responses to chemotherapy.

In February 2023, Kite, a global biopharmaceutical company based in the U.S., completed the acquisition of Tmunity Therapeutics for an undisclosed amount. This strategic move enhances Kite's internal capabilities in cell therapy research by incorporating additional pipeline assets. The acquisition provides access to pre-clinical and clinical programs, including an 'armored' CAR T technology platform, with the potential to enhance the anti-tumor activity of various CAR-Ts. Tmunity Therapeutics Inc., the acquired company, focuses on developing innovative products for the treatment of diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma.

The countries covered in the glioma treatment market report are Australia, Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Russia, South Korea, UK, USA, Canada, Italy, Spain.

Glioma treatment involves interventions aimed at reducing symptoms, controlling and removing tumors, and mitigating long-term damage to the brain or spinal cord. These treatments are crucial for eliminating any remaining glioma cells post-surgery.

Glioma treatment encompasses two main types, low-grade and high-grade. Low-grade gliomas are tumors that develop in the brain and typically exhibit slow growth. Diseases such as glioblastoma multiforme, anaplastic astrocytoma, anaplastic oligodendroglioma, and others are addressed through various routes of administration, including oral and parenteral methods. These conditions can be treated with diverse surgeries, including radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted drug therapy, and others. The end users of glioma treatment include hospitals, specialty clinics, and other healthcare facilities.
