According to FutureWise analysis the market for chemotherapy in 2023 is US$ 51.74 billion, and is expected to reach US$ 109.46 billion by 2031 at a CAGR of 9.80%.
Chemotherapy is an aggressive chemical medicinal treatment designed to kill the body's rapidly proliferating cells. Since cancer cells grow and divide more quickly than other cells, it is typically utilized to treat cancer. Surgery, radiation, or hormone therapy are a few examples of other treatments that are frequently used with chemotherapy. Combination therapy's utilization is influenced by a number of factors, including the cancer's stage, the patient's general health, any prior cancer treatments, and more. It is regarded as a systemic treatment that impacts the entire body. Chemotherapy has been shown to effectively combat cancer cells, but it can also have harmful side effects that can significantly lower patient's quality of life.
Chemotherapy stops tumor growth and cell division, preventing invasion and metastasis. However, because chemotherapy also impacts normal cells, this leads to hazardous side effects. Tumor growth can be slowed down at various degrees inside the cell and in its surroundings. Traditional chemotherapy drugs largely disrupt the macromolecular synthesis and function of malignant cells by interfering with the production of DNA, RNA, or proteins or impairing the proper operation of the preformed molecule. Combination chemotherapy is frequently used to get sufficient results. Traditional chemotherapy drugs largely disrupt the macromolecular synthesis and function of malignant cells by interfering with the production of DNA, RNA, or proteins or impairing the proper function of the preformed molecule. Combination chemotherapy is frequently used to achieve satisfactory outcomes. The delivery of chemotherapy is possible in neoadjuvant, adjuvant, combination, and metastatic settings. A treatment administered before the main therapy is called neoadjuvant therapy. Adjuvant therapy, which is a form of secondary treatment used in conjunction with primary therapy, has the ability to slow or stop the growth of occult cancer cells. The current standard of care for ovarian, colorectal, breast, and lung malignancies is adjuvant therapy. In malignancies including head and neck, lung, and anal, combined therapies like chemotherapy and radiation reduce the tumor before surgery or treatments with a curative purpose. Therefore, multitargeted therapy or combination therapy is more effective in most cancer treatments than single-agent therapy.
In terms of mortality, cancer is now the second leading cause of death globally, surpassing cardiovascular disorders. Environmental elements like smoking, dietary changes, urbanization, and prolonged post-reproductive lifespan are the main causes of this disease. For example, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO), there will be 29.4 million new instances of cancer worldwide by 2040, up from 18.1 million in 2018. Chemotherapy, the most popular cancer treatment, is frequently combined with other cancer drugs. Lung, breast, prostate, and colorectal cancer are the four most common kinds of cancer. Additionally, the booming biopharmaceutical industry has created several novel and ground-breaking medications that effectively target cancer cells while sparing healthy cells. The global market for chemotherapies is expanding rapidly due to the growing public knowledge of the availability of numerous advanced treatments to treat cancer. Moreover, chemotherapy has effectively extended the life of cancer patients by a few years. Infusing cancer-fighting drugs (customized nanoparticles) into sick areas without harming healthy cells is now possible thanks to a recent development in chemotherapy. This technique has been demonstrated to preserve healthy tissue while removing cancerous cells. Medical professionals can utilize photon lasers to trace the release of these nanoparticles—which have tubes and pores—into a patient's body and their length and distribution while treating cancerous cells. This method is undergoing a clinical trial at the University of California, Los Angeles. It has shown promise in the early phases of cancer patient treatment and will soon be available as chemotherapeutics. However, the high cost of chemotherapeutic treatment will constrain the market's expansion. The market for chemotherapeutic drugs will face difficulties due to a shortage of highly skilled specialists and favorable governmental healthcare systems in emerging nations. Also serving as a barrier are the negative side effects of chemotherapy medications, which include cardiac issues, low red blood cell counts, fatigue, hair loss, diarrhea, weight loss, impaired liver, kidney, and lung function, decreased bone density, and general ignorance.
