Bone Cancer Treatment Global Market Report 2024

The bone cancer treatment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.22 billion in 2023 to $1.29 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The historical period's growth can be credited to the development of imaging technologies, enhancements in biopsy techniques, discoveries and advancements in pharmaceuticals, improvements in healthcare infrastructure, and progress in supportive care.

The bone cancer treatment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.59 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be ascribed to shifts in healthcare policies, a transition towards patient-centric care models, the proliferation of telemedicine and remote monitoring, a rising number of cancer patients, a lack of effective treatment options, and the prevalence of side effects. Notable trends expected in the forecast period encompass government initiatives aimed at raising awareness about bone cancer, technological advancements in healthcare devices, heightened research and development activities, exploration and progress in gene-editing techniques, and an increased collaboration between academia, pharmaceutical companies, and healthcare institutions.

The increasing prevalence of bone cancer is anticipated to fuel the expansion of the bone cancer treatment market. Bone cancer comprises a group of malignant tumors that originate in bone tissue, resulting from uncontrolled cell division and growth in the bone. Treatment strategies for bone cancer aim to provide several advantages to patients, encompassing surgical interventions, limb preservation, pain relief, improved quality of life, and effective tumor management. As per reports from the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) in February 2023, an estimated 3,970 new cases of primary bone sarcoma are expected to be diagnosed in the US, with 2,160 in men and 1,810 in women, reflecting an increase from 400 cases in 2013 among individuals aged 15 to 19. Thus, the increasing prevalence of bone cancer acts as a driving force for the bone cancer treatment market.

The growth of the bone cancer treatment market is further expected to be propelled by the rise in the geriatric population. The term 'geriatric population' refers to individuals aged 65 years and older. Bone cancer treatment is essential for this demographic as the disease often originates in the bone cells of long bones, and its incidence tends to increase with age. Advanced treatment options are available to address the specific needs of older adults and enhance treatment outcomes. According to the World Health Organization, globally, by 2030, 1 in 6 people will be 60 or older, and this age group is projected to double to 2.1 billion by 2050. In the UK, the House of Commons Library reported in June 2021 that by 2043, the senior population is expected to constitute 24% of the total population, reaching 17.4 million people. Hence, the rise in the geriatric population serves as a driving factor for the growth of the bone cancer treatment market.


The approval of innovative treatment technologies stands out as a prominent trend gaining traction in the bone cancer treatment market. Major players within the bone cancer treatment sector are strategically focused on developing cutting-edge treatment technologies and obtaining regulatory approvals to fortify their market position. For example, in December 2021, Zetagen Therapeutics, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company based in the US, secured breakthrough device recognition from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its ZetaMet technology. This groundbreaking technology specifically targets metastatic bone cancer, offering a synthetic, small-molecule biologic approach to address such conditions. ZetaMet aims to resolve metastatic bone lesions, inhibit the growth of future lesions, stimulate T cells, and activate cells for healthy bone growth while preventing degradation. Its targeted attachment to the bone surface presents a promising and novel treatment option for patients with metastatic bone cancer.

Major players in the bone cancer treatment market are actively introducing next-generation drugs, including prescription medicines, to gain a competitive advantage. Prescription medicines are pharmaceutical drugs that can only be legally obtained with a written order from a qualified healthcare professional, such as a doctor or dentist. For instance, in September 2023, GSK plc, a UK-based pharmaceutical and biotechnology company, launched Ojjaara (Momelotinib), a prescription medicine designed to treat certain types of myelofibrosis (MF) in adults. Myelofibrosis is a rare form of bone marrow cancer that disrupts the normal production of blood cells. Ojjaara (Momelotinib) offers a novel and effective treatment option for patients grappling with bone cancer and anemia.

In November 2021, Merck & Co. Inc., a US-based pharmaceutical company, completed the acquisition of Acceleron Pharma Inc. for an undisclosed amount. Through this strategic move, Merck & Co. Inc. aims to bolster its extensive track record in addressing cardiovascular illnesses and further support its commercial development strategy, ultimately reaching more patients. Acceleron Pharma Inc. is a US-based clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development of medicines for bone cancer.
