Stomach Cancer Market Developments and Forecast by 2030

[Research Report] The stomach cancer market size is projected to grow from US$ 3,575.04 million in 2022 to US$ 10,751.42 million by 2030; it is estimated to record a CAGR of 14.8% during 2022–2030.

Market Insights and Analyst View: 

Stomach cancer, also known as gastric cancer, is caused due to the abnormal and out-of-control growth of the malignant cells in the stomach. Risk factors that lead to the risk of stomach cancer include age and food. Indigestion, stomach discomfort, loss of appetite, heartburn, and weight loss are all symptoms of stomach cancer. Different approaches are employed in treating stomach cancers, such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and immunotherapy. The stomach cancer market growth is influenced by factors such as the growing incidence of stomach cancer, advancements in treatment, including chemotherapy, surgery, and targeted therapies, and ongoing research and development efforts to improve patient outcomes. With the increasing emphasis on early diagnosis and personalized treatment approaches, the stomach cancer treatment market is expected to continue to expand in the future.

Growth Drivers: 

Businesses in the healthcare market are undertaking various research and development activities to introduce innovative treatments for gastric cancer. Additionally, the treatments are being evaluated in clinical trials, and new approaches are also being constantly developed and investigated through clinical trials. A few of the products in the pipeline are mentioned below:

• In December 2022, Zhejiang Doer Biologics Co., Ltd entered into a clinical trial collaboration agreement with Merck & Co., Inc., to evaluate Doer Bio's anti-Claudin18.2 antibody DR30303, in combination with Merck's anti-PD-1 therapy, KEYTRUDA (pembrolizumab), in patients with gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer. Under the terms of the agreement, Doer Bio conducted an experimental study based on a mutually- agreed and finalized protocol to investigate the safety and effectiveness of DR30303 in combination with KEYTRUDA in Claudin18.2-positive, locally advanced unresectable or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer patients.
• In November 2022, Triumvira Immunologics proclaimed preclinical data for its investigational TAC-T cell therapies CLDN18.2-TAC T and GUCY2C-TAC T, as well as data on HER2-specific TAC-T products. The company showed the updated data on its novel T cell antigen coupler (TAC)-T cell candidate targeting Claudin 18.2 for treating gastric cancer.
• In September 2022, Nuvectis Pharma, Inc. announced positive data for NXP800 in a preclinical xenograft model of ARID1a-mutated gastric carcinoma. Tumor volumes were measured for 28 days after mice in each group were treated with either a vehicle or NXP800 treatment. Tumor regression and significant tumor growth inhibition were the outcomes of NX800 treatment as compared to the control.

Therefore, the increasing number of clinical trials helps raise the availability of gastric cancer treatment worldwide, which, in turn, positively impacts the growth of the stomach cancer market.
