The global cancer therapy market is estimated to be valued at USD 230.96 Bn in 2025 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 12.6% during the forecast period (2025-2032). Cancer continues to pose significant healthcare challenges worldwide. Rapidly aging population profiles in numerous countries have contributed to the rising cancer prevalence. Furthermore, increasing environmental pollution levels and lifestyle changes such as unhealthy diets, lack of physical activity, tobacco use, and alcohol consumption have elevated the cancer risk in populations. Despite advancements in therapeutic interventions, cancer mortality remains substantial. As a result, drug development activity in the oncology sector has intensified in recent times focused on improving patient outcomes and quality of life.

Market Dynamics:

The cancer therapy market is driven by various factors such as the increasing prevalence of cancer worldwide owing to changing lifestyle patterns, growing geriatric population, increasing adoption of targeted therapies and personalized medicine, expansion of healthcare infrastructure across emerging nations, and rising investment in cancer R&D by pharmaceutical companies. However, high treatment costs associated with cancer care pose limitations to widespread adoption. Moreover, long regulatory approval timelines for new drug approvals also challenge market growth to some extent. Meanwhile, robust cancer clinical trial pipelines and the entry of biosimilars provide significant opportunities for market expansion over the forecast period.
