Asia Pacific Breast Cancer Therapeutics Market Forecast to 2030 - Regional Analysis - by Drug Therapy, Breast Cancer Type, and Distribution Channel

The Asia Pacific breast cancer therapeutics market was valued at US$ 6,986.37 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 15,819.83 million by 2030; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 10.8% from 2022 to 2030.

Launch of Several Diagnostics and Screening Programs Fuels the Asia Pacific Breast Cancer Therapeutics Market

Advancements in personalized medicine, immunotherapy, combination therapies, drug delivery systems, liquid biopsies, AI, and patient-centric approaches are expected to shape the future of breast cancer treatment. These trends aim to improve treatment outcomes, reduce side effects, and enhance breast cancer patients overall quality of life.

Early disease detection plays a major role in improving patient outcomes and survival rates. Various organizations and healthcare providers are implementing screening programs to detect breast cancer at an initial stage when it is more treatable. The World Health Organization released a new Global Breast Cancer Initiative Framework in February 2013 that serves as a plan for fulfilling the goal of saving 2.5 million people from breast cancer by 2040. To achieve this, the new Framework, unveiled ahead of the World Cancer Day campaign, urges nations to follow the three pillars of health promotion for early detection, prompt diagnosis, and thorough management of breast cancer. These programs often include mammography, clinical breast exams, and self-breast exams to identify any abnormalities or signs of breast cancer. Implementing these programs has increased awareness and early detection of breast cancer cases, resulting in higher demand for effective therapeutics.

In addition, many advancements in diagnostic technologies have been witnessed across the globe. The National Library of Medicine states that early detection and precise diagnosis are essential for enhancing prognosis. Breast cancer assessment frequently makes use of radiographic imaging modalities such as digital mammography (DM), digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound (US), and nuclear medicine procedures. Histopathology (HP) is the gold standard for determining the presence of cancer. Furthermore, using artificial intelligence (AI) technology to depict medical images quantitatively has significant potential for improving breast cancer segmentation, diagnosis, and prognosis. These technologies help healthcare providers identify the extent and characteristics of the tumor, allowing them to develop personalized treatment plans. Thus, the launch of diagnostic and screening programs, coupled with advancements in diagnostic technologies, contributes to the Asia Pacific breast cancer therapeutics market growth.

Asia Pacific Breast Cancer Therapeutics Market Overview

The breast cancer therapeutics market in Asia Pacific is segmented into China, Japan, India, South Korea, Australia, and the Rest of Asia Pacific. The market growth is attributed to factors including growing burden of breast cancers among women coupled with advancements in personalized medicine, immunotherapy, combination therapies, and drug delivery systems.

The breast cancer therapeutics market in China is projected to witness substantial growth in the coming years, owing to the rising prevalence of breast cancer, increasing aging population, lifestyle changes, and others. China accounted for 24% of cases with new diagnoses and 30% of cancer-related fatalities globally in 2020, as per CDC statistics published on April 14, 2023. Over the last three decades, the age-standardized incidence of breast cancer climbed from 17.07 per 100,000 in 1990 to 35.61 per 100,000 in 2019. Advancements in treatment options have played a crucial role in driving the demand for breast cancer therapeutics in China.

Also, out of 1 in 10 women in Japan will acquire breast cancer at some point. The pink ribbon campaign in October and other initiatives have raised awareness of the disease among Japanese people, including the importance of self-checks and other early detection methods that, when used, increase the survival rate to over 90%. The identification of typical risk variables, however, lags. Thus, the breast cancer therapeutics market in Japan is expected to grow significantly due to an aging population, treatment options, government initiatives and policies, high healthcare expenditure, rising awareness, and technological advancements.
