Market Insights
High Prevalence of Metastatic Cancer

Cancer is one of the health conditions that significantly impact societies worldwide. According to the data provided by the National Institute of Cancer, in 2020, 1,806,590 people were suffering from cancer in the US while 606,520 people died from cancer. According to the American Institute of Cancer Research, in 2020, 18,100 cases were active worldwide. Furthermore, the World Health Organization (WHO) stated that 10,000 deaths, or 1 in 6 deaths globally, were due to cancer. The most common cancer types are lung cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer, rectum cancer, and prostate cancer. The condition develops in 400,000 children every year. Carcinogenic infections—including Helicobacter pylori, hepatitis B virus, human papillomavirus (HPV), hepatitis C virus, and Epstein-Barr virus—caused 13% of cancer cases in 2018, globally. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) projects that the number of new cancer cases and cancer-related deaths worldwide will grow 1.6–1.7 fold by 2040 to reach 29.5 million and from 16.4 million in 2018. Further, according to the American Society of Clinical Oncology, in 2021, 290,560 people (287,850 women and 2,710 men) in the US were diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. Breast cancer in females has now surpassed lung cancer and is recognized as the most common cancer type worldwide. Approximately, 2,261,419 women were diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020.

Among all the observations recorded about cancer in the US over the past several decades, one statistic has remained unchanged—metastatic cancer accounts for up to 90% of all cancer deaths each year. These numbers have motivated doctors and researchers to find new ways to treat metastasis, which occurs when cancer spreads beyond its point of origin. In the US, 6% of women were diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in the first diagnosis. Such a rise in the prevalence of metastatic cancer is driving the metastatic cancer drug market growth.

In North America, Canada is expected to witness considerable growth over the forecast period. The main immunotherapy drugs used in Canada are ipilimumab (Yervoy), pembrolizumab (Keytruda), nivolumab (Opdivo), durvalumab (Imfinzi) and atezolizumab (Tecentriq). However, there are other checkpoint inhibitors poised to bring the overall market growth.

Cancer Type-Based Insights

Based on cancer type, the metastatic cancer drug market is segmented into breast cancer, lung cancer, liver cancer, hematological cancer, brain cancer, prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, and others. The breast cancer segment accounted for the largest market share in 2021 and is anticipated to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Route of Administration-Based Insights

Based on route of administration, the metastatic cancer drug market is segmented into intravenous, intramuscular, oral, and others. The intravenous segment accounted for the largest market share in 2021 and is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
