Her2 Inhibitors Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2023-2030)
Her2 inhibitors are a type of cancer treatment that target the HER2 receptor, which is found on the surface of some cancer cells. These inhibitors work by blocking the HER2 receptor and preventing it from sending signals that promote the growth and spread of cancer cells. The HER2 inhibitors market is a rapidly growing segment of the cancer treatment industry, with a number of new drugs and treatments being developed and approved in recent years. These inhibitors are used to treat a variety of types of cancer, including breast, ovarian, and gastric cancer.
The Her2 Inhibitors Market is expected to grow at a strong CAGR of 7.2% during the forecast period owing to the rising prevalence of breast cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, an estimated 281,550 new cases of invasive breast cancer were diagnosed in women in 2021, along with 49,290 new cases of non-invasive breast cancer. Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the UK, with around 55,000 new cases diagnosed each year. The incidence of breast cancer in the UK has increased by around 3% over the last decade.
- Based on the drug type, the market is bifurcated into non-biologics, and biologics & biosimilars. The biologics & biosimilars held a dominant share of the market in 2022. In recent years, the demand for biologics has grown tremendously owing to their targeted nature in the management of cancer. Several pharmaceutical giants have developed biological drugs, including monoclonal antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates, and others targeting the Her-2 receptor. For instance, in August 2022, US FDA granted approval to Enhertu for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors have activating HER2.
- By treatment, the market is bifurcated into monotherapy and combination therapy. The combination therapy is anticipated to grow with a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The combination of anti-cancer drugs is more effective than using them individually because it targets multiple key pathways in a way that is either highly effective or adds to the overall impact. A large number of ongoing clinical trials are evaluating the role of Her-2 targeted therapy in combination with other cancer-targeting regimens, thus having a positive impact on market growth. For instance, in January 2022, Alphamab Oncology and CSPC Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd have announced that the New Drug Application (NDA) for the pivotal clinical trial (KN026-CSP-001) of the HER2-targeted bispecific antibody KN026 in combination with chemotherapy has been approved by the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) of the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA).
- Based on of application, the market is categorized into stomach cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, and others. The breast cancer held a dominant share of the market in 2022. Currently, a large number of Her2 inhibitors have been approved for the management of breast cancer, including Herceptin, Enhertu, Tuksya, and others which is driving the growth of the segment. Moreover, the encouraging response of Her-2 inhibitors in the management of breast cancer has also propelled further research and development in this segment. For instance, in January 2021, Ambrx has announced that the US FDA has granted Fast Track Designation to ARX788 as a treatment option for advanced or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer.
- Based on end user, the market is segmented into hospitals, clinics, and homecare. The hospitals held a dominant share of the market in 2022 owing to the rising prevalence of chronic diseases and increasing hospitalizations. The driving factors for the hospitals are numerous and include the prevalence of the disease, the advancement of treatments and technology, the quality of care provided, the availability of specialized physicians and skilled nursing staff, and the financial incentives offered by health insurance companies.
- For a better understanding of the market adoption of the dental clensing tablet industry, the market is analyzed based on its worldwide presence in the countries such as North America (U.S., Canada, Rest of North America), Europe (Germany, U.K., France, Spain, Italy, Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, Rest of Asia-Pacific), Rest of World. North America held the dominant share of the market and is expected to do so even in the forecast period. The healthcare facilities in North America are of the highest standards and are accessible to the large population because of favorable policies making healthcare affordable to many if not all. Moreover, the increasing incidence of breast cancer cases among the population, the aging population, technological advancements, and increasing healthcare spending in several developed nations of North America region are the major factors driving the growth of the market.
- Some of the major players operating in the market include F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd; Pfizer Inc.; AstraZeneca; MacroGenics, Inc.; Puma Biotechnology, Inc.; Amgen Inc.; Biocon; Seagen Inc.; Viatris Inc.; and GSK plc.
The Her2 inhibitors market was valued at USD 13,558.82 Million and is expected to grow at a strong CAGR of around 7.2% during the forecast period (2023-2030). The market is growing with increasing government funding. Deteriorating health coupled with the rising cost of medical treatments is one of the major reasons for concern across the globe which is leading to an increase in demand for effective cancer therapeutics. Owing to this and increasing research focus on cancer treatments among researchers, many governments across the globe are taking various initiatives and have expedited their product approval process. In addition to this, many government and private organizations globally are providing funding opportunities to different cancer institutes and centers for the advancement of research across the cancer control spectrum in prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, survivorship, and palliative care. For instance, The Canadian Cancer Society is presently providing funding and support to three center-based research initiatives that include, the Canadian Centre for Applied Research in Cancer Control (ARCC), the Canadian Cancer Trials Group (CCTG), and Propel Centre for Population Health Impact
Some of the major players operating in the F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd; Pfizer Inc.; AstraZeneca; MacroGenics, Inc.; Puma Biotechnology, Inc.; Amgen Inc.; Biocon; Seagen Inc.; Viatris Inc.; and GSK plc. Several M&As along with partnerships have been undertaken by these players to facilitate customers with hi-tech and innovative products/technologies.
