The global capecitabine market size was valued at $0.4 billion in 2023, and is projected to reach $0.7 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 5% from 2024 to 2033. The major factors driving the growth of the capecitabine market are surge in prevalence of cancer, improved healthcare access, rise in research and development to enhancing the efficacy and safety profiles of capecitabine.
Capecitabine is an oral chemotherapy medication used in the treatment of various cancers, including breast, colon, and rectal cancers. It belongs to a class of drugs known as antimetabolites, which work by interfering with the growth and spread of cancer cells. Capecitabine is a prodrug, meaning it is converted into its active form, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) , in the body. Once converted, 5-FU inhibits the synthesis of DNA and RNA in cancer cells, ultimately leading to their death. Unlike traditional chemotherapy drugs administered intravenously, capecitabine is taken orally, usually in the form of tablets. This offers convenience to patients and allows for outpatient treatment in many cases. Furthermore, capecitabine has shown promise in combination therapies, enhancing its effectiveness in targeting cancer cells while minimizing adverse effects. Its versatility in combination with other drugs or therapies allows for tailored treatment approaches based on individual patient needs and cancer characteristics. For instance, oxaliplatin and capecitabine is a chemotherapy combination known as Xelox, which is used for the treatment of bowel cancer (colorectal cancer) , cancer of the food pipe (oesophagus) , and stomach cancer.
