Anti-Cancer Drugs Market Overview
Anti-Cancer Drugs Market Size is estimated to reach $211.4 billion by 2027 and is poised to grow at a CAGR of 7.2% over the forecast period of 2022-2027. The medication that is used for treating malignant or cancerous disease is referred to as an anticancer drug, often known as an antineoplastic drug. Alkylating agents, antimetabolites, natural products and hormones are a few of the main groups of anticancer medications. There are many types of cancer such as Lung Cancer, Stomach Cancer, Colorectal Cancer, Breast Cancer, Prostate Cancer and others. To treat the different types of cancer, different drugs are used alone or in combination. Cancer can be treated with chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, hormone therapy and others; which depends on the type and stage of cancer. World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates the number of new cases of cancer rise from 18.1 million in 2018 to 29.4 million by 2040. Owing to such increasing prevalence of cancer, the demand for anti-cancer drug is very high in the market. Such growing demand and increasing prevalence rate drive the growth of the Anti-Cancer Drugs Market over the forecast period 2022-2027.

Anti-Cancer Drugs Market: Market Share (%) by region, 2021
Anti-Cancer Drugs Market Segment Analysis- by Drug Class
Anti-Cancer Drugs Market based on the drug class can be further segmented into Chemotherapy, Targeted Therapy (Monoclonal Antibodies and Small Molecule Inhibitors), Immunotherapy, Hormone Therapy and others. The Chemotherapy segment held a dominant market share in 2021. This is due to the action of chemotherapy treatment which targets cells at different phases of the cell cycle. Alkylating agents, nitrosoureas, antimetabolites, anti-tumor antibiotics, topoisomerase inhibitors, mitotic inhibitors, corticosteroids and other chemotherapy drugs are used to treat cancer. Such use of chemotherapy in cancer drives the growth of the Anti-Cancer Drugs Market share. However, Targeted Therapy is estimated to grow with the fastest CAGR of 7.9% over the forecast period 2022-2027. This is attributed to the benefits of targeted therapy which interferes with specific proteins involved in tumorigenesis focusing on specific molecular changes which are unique to particular cancer. Also, the high success rate of targeted therapy, which is about 80%, increases the demand for cancer treatment and drives the growth of the Anti-Cancer Drugs Market share over the forecast period 2022-2027.
Anti-Cancer Drugs Market Segment Analysis - by Indication
Anti-Cancer Drugs Market based on the indication can be further segmented into Lung Cancer, Stomach Cancer, Colorectal Cancer, Breast Cancer, Prostate Cancer, Liver Cancer, Esophagus Cancer, Cervical Cancer, Kidney Cancer, Bladder Cancer and Other types of Cancers. The Breast cancer segment held a dominant market share in 2021, owing to the growing prevalence of breast cancer in the world. As per WHO, in 2020 about 2.3 million women were diagnosed with breast cancer and 685,000 deaths globally. Such a high prevalence of breast cancer surge demand for treatment and drive the growth of the Anti-Cancer Drugs Market share. However, Lung cancer is estimated to grow with the fastest CAGR of 8.3% over the forecast period 2022-2027. Lung cancer is the second most common cancer around the world and about 2.2 million new cancer cases were reported in 2020. Smoking and radon exposure are leading causes of lung cancer. Such growing cases of lung cancer fuel the growth of the Anti-Cancer Drugs Market Share over the forecast period 2022-2027.
Anti-Cancer Drugs Market Segment Analysis - by Geography
The Anti-Cancer Drugs Market based on Geography can be further segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-pacific, South America and the Rest of the World. North America held a dominant market share of 34% in the year 2021. This is the result of the increasing prevalence of cancer in this region. In 2022, there would be an estimated 1.9 million new cancer cases diagnosed and 609,360 cancer deaths in the United States. Such a high prevalence of cancer in this region drives the growth of the Anti-Cancer Drugs Market Size. Furthermore, Asia-pacific is estimated to grow with the fastest CAGR over the forecast period 2022-2027. In Asia-pacific, the most common cancers in men are lung, stomach, liver, colorectal and oesophageal cancers while the most common cancers in women are breast, lung, cervical, colorectal and stomach cancers. Also, the growing clinical research and increasing investment in healthcare infrastructure fuel the growth of the Anti-Cancer Drugs Market Size over the forecast period 2022-2027.
Anti-Cancer Drugs Market Drivers
New Innovative Drug Launches Drives Market Growth:
Owing to increasing demand for cancer drugs, key manufacturers launched new innovative drugs in the market. In May 2022, Roche Pharma launched PHESGO, the first ever fixed-dose formulation in oncology for breast cancer. In 2022, there would be approximately 4,820,000 new cancer cases and 3,210,000 cancer deaths in China and breast cancer is one of the leading types of cancer found in women in China. Such increasing prevalence of cancer and new innovative products launched by leading market players drive the growth of the Anti-Cancer Drugs Industry over the forecast period 2022-2027.
Growing Investment in Healthcare Infrastructure Drives Market Growth:
Owing to the high possibility of cancer, various governments and organizations
focus on developing better healthcare infrastructure to provide essential
health services to people. In November 2021, Union Health Minister announced that the central government would invest INR 64 crore in the country’s healthcare
infrastructure. Such growing investment to strengthen the investment drives the growth
