Global head and neck cancer therapeutics market was worth USD 752.5 million in 2016. It is expected to grow at 9.4% CAGR during the forecast period. Current treatment options for head and neck cancer include surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Based on promising clinical results, immunotherapies are now being promoted as a precision medicine approach to managing solid malignancies. Anemia, neutropenia and nausea, vomiting, pain and bone metastasis are some of the side effects that can be caused by head and neck cancer treatment.
According to the Union for International Cancer Control, (UICC), 550,000 are diagnosed with neck and head cancer each year. 300,000. deaths are also recorded annually. Head and neck cancer was the sixth most prevalent cancer in 2016, accounting for 5.0% of all global cancers. Squamous cell carcinomas (SCCHN) account for 90.0% of head and neck cancers. This condition is more common in men than it is in women. It can be found in a ratio of 2:1 to 1:1.
Opportunities for market expansion are being identified in Brazil, India, China and China. These countries are attracting market expansion due to factors such as the growing use of Biosimilars, good healthcare reforms and a low-cost base.
According to current trends, the market will be driven by a growing geriatric population, increasing cases of target diseases and improved healthcare services thanks to initiatives from government and private organizations. Players have the opportunity to profit from and expand in other countries due to increased immunotherapy adoption. PD inhibitors will likely capture a large market share and increase overall franchise revenue.
More than 43 products are currently in clinical trials for the head and neck cancer therapeutics industry. Although early-stage cancers can be curable, treatment depends on the type of the disease, its location and severity. The latest surgical and nonsurgical treatments, such as targeted therapy and immunotherapy, allow for the preservation of quality of life and provide the best care.
Recent advancements in cancer research have allowed for the successful treatment of patients' own immune systems. During the forecast period, major pipeline drugs like Imfinzi (durvalumab), and Bavencio ("avelumab") are expected to be released. These drugs' clinical trials have shown positive results for both primary and secondary endpoints.
Microtubule inhibitors and PD inhibitors are the most prominent drug classes in the market for head and neck cancer therapeutics. In 2016, PD inhibitors accounted the largest market share, followed closely by EGFR inhibits. New product launches are expected to drive significant growth in the PD inhibitor drug category. Due to the high adoption of targeted therapies and immunotherapies, the market share of EGFR inhibitors as well as microtubule inhibitions will decline by a double-digit percentage over the forecast period.
There are several major brands that are prescribed for head and neck cancer: Opdivo (nivolumab) by Bristol-Myers Squibb, Merck's Keytruda(pembrolizumab), Eli Lilly’s Erbitux (“cetuximabâ€Â) by Sanofi and Taxotere® (docetaxel).
Global demand for neck and head cancer drugs will be driven by increasing SCCHN incidence, side effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy, the development of cost-effective therapies, higher healthcare expenditure, better government policies and reimbursement policies, as well as rising SCCHN rates.
The U.S. was the dominant market leader in 2016 with more than 50% of the global market. Japan has seen an increase in immunotherapies adoption and is forecast to show a CAGR (or 4.9%) during the forecast period.
Merck & Co. Eli Lilly, Sanofi and Merck Group are some of the major players in this sector. AstraZeneca's approval of Imfinzi, and Bavencio will create significant market opportunities for Pfizer and AstraZeneca during the forecast period. Marsala Biotech, Marsala Biotech, and Kura Oncology are some of the promising companies that have pipeline drugs.
Many companies have been affected by patent expirations and increased biosimilar competition, including Sanofi and Eli Lilly. Actavis and Jiangsu Hengrui are the main players in manufacturing biosimilar Taxotere or Erbitux. Many market players will be working to address unmet market demands, identify new targets, and develop stronger drug pipelines.
