Ovarian Cancer Drugs Market Report 2025

The ovarian cancer drugs market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $5.1 billion in 2024 to $5.82 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising incidences of ovarian cancer, a rise of new medications and therapies, an increase in government initiatives for ovarian cancer treatment and increased healthcare expenditure.

The ovarian cancer drugs market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $10.07 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing geriatric population and an increase in pharmaceutical R&D expenditure. Major trends in the forecast period include launching antibody-drug conjugates, partnerships and collaborations to improve revenues and product offerings, and focus on implanted drug factories for ovarian cancer.

The increasing prevalence of ovarian cancer is a key driver of growth in the ovarian cancer drugs market. Ovarian cancer ranks as the eighth most commonly diagnosed cancer in women and the 18th most prevalent cancer globally. In 2023, as reported by the American Cancer Society in their Ovarian Cancer Statistics, an estimated 19,710 new cases of cancer and 13,270 related deaths were anticipated in the USA alone. This rise in ovarian cancer incidence worldwide contributes significantly to the expansion of the ovarian cancer drugs market.

Government initiatives and funding for ovarian cancer are expected to significantly drive the growth of the ovarian cancer drugs market in the future. These initiatives provide financial support to selected entities with projects aimed at enhancing public services and the economy. Government aid in ovarian cancer research plays a crucial role in improving the quality of life and survival rates for patients with this disease. For example, in July 2022, the Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance, Inc., a US-based nonprofit organization, announced an additional allocation of $2 million for both Johanna’s Law and the Ovarian Cancer Control Initiative, representing a substantial increase from the $500,000 increments approved for FY22. As a result, government initiatives and funding for ovarian cancer are driving growth in the ovarian cancer drugs market.

Major companies in the ovarian cancer drug market are concentrating on developing innovative solutions, such as treatments for breast and ovarian cancer, to enhance therapeutic efficacy and improve patient outcomes. Treatments for breast and ovarian cancer encompass various medical approaches aimed at managing and combating these distinct types of malignancies that affect women. For example, in June 2024, Shorla Oncology, an Ireland-based pharmaceutical company, received FDA approval for Tepylute, a new ready-to-dilute formulation of thiotepa designed for the treatment of breast and ovarian cancers. This liquid formulation simplifies administration by removing the need for complex reconstitution, ensuring consistent dosing accuracy. The recommended dosage ranges from 0.3 mg/kg to 0.4 mg/kg, administered intravenously every 1 to 4 weeks, beginning with higher initial doses followed by maintenance adjustments based on blood counts.

Major players in the ovarian cancer drug market are strategically focusing on producing innovative drugs, including antibody-drug conjugates, to drive market revenues. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) represent a biopharmaceutical drug category that combines a monoclonal antibody (mAb) with a cytotoxic drug through a chemical linker. For instance, in November 2022, the US-based biotechnology company ImmunoGen, Inc. introduced Mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx. This drug targets the overexpressed FRα protein on the surface of many cancer cells, including ovarian cancer cells. The antibody delivers the microtubule inhibitor soravtansine to the cancer cells, disrupting their mitosis and causing cell death. This ADC shows promise as a new treatment for patients with folate receptor alpha-positive, platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. It represents the first ADC approved for this type of cancer and has demonstrated positive outcomes in clinical trials.

In February 2024, AbbVie, an American pharmaceutical company, acquired ImmunoGen for $10.1 billion. This acquisition is intended to substantially enhance AbbVie’s oncology portfolio by incorporating ImmunoGen's flagship therapy, ELAHERE, an antibody-drug conjugate approved for the treatment of platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. ImmunoGen is a U.S.-based biotechnology company that focuses on developing antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) specifically for ovarian cancer treatment.

Ovarian cancer drugs are pharmaceuticals specifically designed for the treatment of ovarian cancer, a condition arising from abnormal cell growth in the ovaries. This sector encompasses establishments engaged in the production of drugs utilized in ovarian cancer treatment through chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. Notable examples of ovarian cancer drugs include Doxorubicin Hydrochloride Liposome, Evacet (Doxorubicin Hydrochloride Liposome), Cytoxan (Cyclophosphamide), Paraplat (Carboplatin), Taxol (Paclitaxel), Neosar (Cyclophosphamide), among others.

Ovarian cancer drugs target different types of tumors, namely epithelial ovarian cancer, germ cell ovarian cancer, and stromal cell ovarian cancer. Epithelial ovarian cancer is the most prevalent type, accounting for 90% of ovarian tumors. This form originates in the epithelial layer that covers the ovary. The diverse categories of drugs for ovarian cancer treatment include alkylating agents, mitotic inhibitors, VEGF/VEGF inhibitors, PARP inhibitors, among others. These drugs are distributed through various channels such as hospital pharmacies, drug stores, and others.
