Cancer Immunotherapy Market, By Therapy Type (Immune checkpoint inhibitors, Vaccines, Adoptive Cell Therapies, Immune System Modulators, Monoclonal antibodies, Oncolytic Virus Therapy), By Route of Administration (Subcutaneous, Oral, Intramuscular, Intrav

Global cancer immunotherapy market is estimated to be valued at USD 158.42 Bn in 2025 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 12.3% during the forecast period (2025-2032). Cancer immunotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that utilizes the body's own immune system to fight against cancer. It is an innovative approach that harnesses the power of the immune system and modifies it to enhance the body's natural defenses against cancer. Cancer immunotherapy comprises therapies like monoclonal antibodies, checkpoint inhibitors, interleukin inhibitors, therapeutic cancer vaccines and others. It is gaining prominence as recent scientific breakthroughs have improved understanding of the complex interaction between tumor cells and the immune system. Cancer immunotherapy represents a novel treatment paradigm that has the potential to transform the way cancer is treated in the future.

Market Dynamics:

Global cancer immunotherapy market growth is driven by factors such as increasing prevalence of cancer worldwide, rising demand for effective targeted therapies, and higher treatment success rates associated with cancer immunotherapy as compared to conventional treatment modalities. Cancer remains one of the leading causes of mortality and the global burden of cancer is expected to rise significantly in the near future. This is providing a major boost to immunotherapy adoption. Advancements in biotechnology along with better understanding of cancer immunology have led to the development of novel immunotherapies, which are paving the way for improved patient outcomes. However, high costs associated with immunotherapy drugs, need for specialized infrastructure and healthcare personnel, and safety concerns related to immunotherapy are some of the challenges restraining the market growth. Active R&D in this field, targeting new cancer types, and ongoing clinical trials hold potential to provide growth opportunities for market players.
