The liposomal doxorubicin market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.23 billion in 2024 to $1.32 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to improved liposome formulations, favorable reimbursement policies for cancer treatments, growing awareness about the importance of cancer screening programs, enhanced healthcare infrastructure, and increasing patient preference for minimally invasive cancer treatments.

The liposomal doxorubicin market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.72 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising awareness about cancer treatment options, increasing clinical trials, increasing adoption of combination therapies, rising healthcare expenditure, and growing preference for targeted therapies. Major trends in the forecast period include the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning algorithms to facilitate drug discovery, utilizing 3D printing technologies, magnetic targeting methods, innovative strategies such as tumor-penetrating peptides or ultrasound-mediated drug delivery, and advancements in drug delivery technology.

The increasing prevalence of cancer is expected to drive the growth of the liposomal doxorubicin market in the coming years. Cancer is a group of diseases that can occur in almost any organ or tissue, caused by abnormal cell growth that spreads beyond its normal boundaries, invading other organs or neighboring body parts. The rise in cancer cases can be attributed to factors such as an aging population, lifestyle changes, environmental exposures, and advancements in diagnostic methods. Liposomal doxorubicin is used in cancer therapy to improve drug delivery to tumors, minimize toxicity, and enhance treatment outcomes. For example, in January 2024, the American Cancer Society, a U.S.-based nonprofit organization, reported an increase in cancer cases to 2,001,140 in 2024, up from 1,958,310 in 2023, reflecting a growth rate of 2.19%. As a result, the growing prevalence of cancer is fueling the growth of the liposomal doxorubicin market.

Key players in the liposomal doxorubicin market are concentrating on advancing drug delivery systems such as PEGylated liposomes to enhance the pharmacokinetics and distribution of doxorubicin, thereby improving patient outcomes. These innovations ensure drugs are targeted more effectively to cancer cells while reducing side effects. For instance, in May 2022, Accord Healthcare Limited introduced Zolsketil, a pegylated liposomal 2mg/ml concentrate for infusion dispersion, as a generic alternative to doxorubicin, a widely used cancer treatment.

In January 2024, CHEPLAPHARM Arzneimittel GmbH, a Germany-based pharmaceutical company, acquired the European rights to Myocet from Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition strengthens CHEPLAPHARM's oncology portfolio by adding Myocet, a non-pegylated liposomal doxorubicin formulation, in line with its strategy to incorporate well-established drugs. Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., an Israel-based pharmaceutical company, offers the liposomal doxorubicin formulation Myocet.

Major companies operating in the liposomal doxorubicin market are Pfizer Inc., Johnson & Johnson, AbbVie Inc., AstraZeneca plc, Takeda Pharmaceutical Company, Eli Lilly and Company, Amgen Inc., Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd, Baxter International Inc., Astellas Pharma, Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd, Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Cipla Inc., Endo Pharmaceuticals, Lupin Limited, Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals, Zydus Cadila, Accord Healthcare Limited, Shanghai Fudan-zhangjiang Bio-Pharmaceutical Co.Ltd, TTY Biopharm Company Limited, SRS Life Sciences.

The regions covered in the liposomal doxorubicin market report are Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East, Africa. The countries covered in the liposomal doxorubicin market report are Australia, Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Russia, South Korea, UK, USA, Canada, Italy, Spain.

Liposomal doxorubicin is a form of the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin enclosed within lipid bilayers, forming tiny vesicles known as liposomes. This encapsulation modifies how the drug moves through the body, leading to longer circulation in the bloodstream and increased accumulation at tumor sites due to improved permeability and retention effects. Liposomal doxorubicin is employed in treating different cancers such as ovarian cancer, breast cancer, and Kaposi's sarcoma, potentially reducing the risk of heart-related side effects compared to traditional doxorubicin formulations.

The primary types of liposomal doxorubicin include Doxil or Caelyx, Lipodox, Myocet, and others. Doxil, also marketed as Caelyx, is a specific brand of liposomal doxorubicin used in chemotherapy for various cancer types. It is administered via injection and is applied in treating leukemia, bone sarcoma, breast cancer, endometrial cancer, kidney cancer, multiple myeloma, Kaposi sarcoma, among others. It is utilized by various end-users including hospitals, home care settings, and others.
