The growing incidence of cancer is anticipated to drive the expansion of the antineoplastic agent market in the future. Cancer refers to a group of diseases that can arise in nearly any organ or tissue within the body, occurring when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably, surpass their usual boundaries, and either spread to other organs or invade surrounding areas. Antineoplastic agents are crucial in the treatment of cancer as they work to prevent the growth and division of cancerous cells through various mechanisms, such as causing DNA damage, disrupting the cell cycle, and interfering with key cellular processes. For example, in February 2024, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), a global organization based in France that fosters international cooperation in cancer research, projected that the global cancer burden will exceed 35 million by 2050, representing a 77% increase from the estimated 20 million in 2022. As a result, the rising number of cancer cases is fueling the growth of the antineoplastic agent market.

The growth of the anti-neoplastic agent market is expected to be driven by an increase in investment in cancer research. This investment involves allocating financial resources to support scientific endeavors aimed at studying, preventing, diagnosing, and treating cancer. The additional funding for cancer research enables pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to explore, develop, and rigorously test new anti-neoplastic agents, which includes identifying potential drug targets and creating candidate compounds. For example, in March 2022, the Australian Department of Health and Aged Care allocated $893.5 million to improve cancer services and outcomes. A portion of this investment, $329.4 million, is earmarked for new cancer drugs like Trodelvy, Lynparza, and Mylotarg, which can potentially benefit hundreds of patients annually. Consequently, the increased investment in cancer research is poised to drive the growth of the anti-neoplastic agent market.

Leading companies in the field of anti-neoplastic agents are dedicated to the development of clinical practices to maintain their market position. For instance, in March 2022, Novartis AG, a pharmaceutical company headquartered in Switzerland, announced the approval of Pluvicto by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Pluvicto is the first targeted radioligand therapy approved for the treatment of progressive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) that is positive for PSMA (Prostate-specific membrane antigen). The recommended treatment regimen involves administering 7.4 GBq (200 mCi) of Pluvicto intravenously every six weeks for a maximum of six doses, with treatment cessation upon disease progression or if intolerable toxicity occurs, whichever happens first. Patient selection for Pluvicto treatment in previously treated mCRPC should be based on the assessment of PSMA expression in tumors, employing Locametz or another authorized PSMA-11 imaging agent.

In August 2022, Ipsen SA, a biopharmaceutical company headquartered in France, completed the acquisition of Epizyme Inc. for a total of $247 million. This strategic move by Ipsen is intended to broaden its oncology portfolio by incorporating Tazverik, an innovative EZH2 inhibitor that offers a chemotherapy-free treatment option. Epizyme Inc., based in the United States, is a biopharmaceutical company known for its contributions in the field of anti-neoplastic agents.

The anti-neoplastic agents market consists of sales of antitumor antibiotics, microtubule inhibitors and topoisomerase inhibitors. Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values, that is, the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and retailers) or directly to end customers. The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.

Anti-neoplastic agents refer to drugs that inhibit or destroy abnormal tissue growth, specifically targeting and combating cancerous cells in the body. They have a vital role in cancer treatment by disrupting the processes involved in tumor development and progression.

The main types of anti-neoplastic agents are alkylating agents, antimetabolites, hormones and antagonists and miscellaneous. Alkylating agents are a class of chemical compounds that can add alkyl groups to DNA, RNA and proteins, disrupting their normal function and interfering with cell replication. These are used to treat several diseases, including gastrointestinal cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer and others and are used by various end users, such as hospitals, clinics, cancer rehabilitation centers and ambulatory surgical centers.
