Filgrastim Market

Filgrastim Market Statistics- 2030

Global filgrastim market was valued at $ 562.50 million in 2020 and is projected to reach $745.90 million by 2030 registering a CAGR of 2.80% from 2021 to 2030. Filgrastim is a recombinant DNA-derived granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) that is commonly used to treat low blood neutrophils. It's also commonly employed in cases where lukapheresis is associated with an increase in white blood cells. Filgrastim has a number of side effects, including joint discomfort, chest pain, hair loss, and vomiting. 

Filgrastim is a recombinant version of the naturally occurring G-CSF that stimulates neutrophil production. It was licensed for the treatment of low blood neutrophils in the U.S. in 1991. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared Filgrastim in the List of Essential Medicines as safe and most effective medicine. Filgrastim was first discovered by Amgen, Inc. and sold under the brand name Neupogen. Large number of biosimilar companies are engaged in the manufacture and marketing of Filgrastim across the world. Filgrastim costs around $200 in the U.S, around 50 Euro in the UK, and $100 in developing countries.

Factors such as increase in prevalence of various diseases and surge igeriatric population drives the filgrastim market growth. Furthermore, increase in pressure to decrease healthcare expenditure and surge in demand for filgrastim, due to its cost effectiveness is anticipated to boost the growth of this market. In addition, surge in demand for biosimilars in the treatment of neutropenia further impede the market growth. However, common adverse effects of filgrastim include joint pain, chest pain, hair loss, and vomiting hinder the market growth. Conversely, increase in investing extensively in R&D activities for the development of effective and innovative biosimilars will further provide opportunities for the market.

Moreover, this medication is used to treat neutropenia, a condition that occurs after bone marrow transplantation and chemotherapy. It's been used to treat a variety of malignancies as a supportive therapy. In the recent decade, there has been a major growth in cancer prevention in industrialized countries, as well as government-led campaigns to raise awareness of early treatment. These reasons are projected to propel the worldwide Filgrastim market forward. Approved biosimilars such as Grafeel, Colstim, Neukine, and Filcad, which are much cheaper and readily available in developing countries, are expected to fuel the growth of the global Filgrastim market.

The outbreak of COVID-19 has disrupted workflows in the healthcare sector across the globe. The disease has forced a number of industries to shut their doors temporarily, including several sub-domains of healthcare. The filgrastim market size is expected to be negatively impacted by the COVID-19 situation. With the majority of countries suffering from the impact of COVID-19, many countries are looking for a way to cure COVID-19. The pandemic has had a serious and disruptive effect on oncology clinical trials and treatment, with both immediate and delayed consequences. According to a study conducted by the Cancer Research UK in July 2020, one in three cancer patients have confirmed that their treatment has been impacted by the effects of COVID-19. The short-term effects include staff and resources being reassigned to deal with COVID patients. In the longer term, trials testing treatments for COVID-19 have been ordered. A sharp reduction in recruitment to ongoing trials and a delay in the planned launch of new oncology studies is expected to negatively impact the filgrastim market.
