It is classified as either acute or chronic leukemia. It occurs most often in adults, and older than 55. Due to deficiency in healthy blood cells, several symptoms develop such as bleeding, brushing, bone pain, fatigue, and fever. In addition, depending on patients’ needs, the treatment includes combination of chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy.
Market Dynamics
Leukemia remains a major health concern and there is a growing need for more effective treatment that can improve the patients' outcomes. This has driven the development of new therapies such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) that target specific genes or proteins involved in growth and spread of leukemia cells. In addition, there has been a growing awareness about leukemia and need for effective treatments, led to growing demand for leukemia therapeutics such as chemotherapy and targeted therapy drugs. Furthermore, the rise in healthcare expenditure globally is driving the growth of the leukemia therapeutics market. The growing focus on personalized medicine and the development of new diagnostic tools have led to a rise in demand for targeted treatments.
Moreover, the high unmet medical need for more effective treatment for leukemia has led to an increase in investment in R&D, fueling the growth of the market. In addition, rise in technological advancements such as development in targeted and immunotherapies have led to growing demand for effective treatment for leukemia driving the growth of the market. Growing demand for combination therapies that can provide more comprehensive approaches to treatment. This has driven the development of new combination therapies such as chemotherapy and immunotherapy. These drivers are contributing to the growth of the leukemia therapeutics market share.
However, the continued development of new and more effective treatments for leukemia such as immunotherapy and targeted therapy is expected to provide lucrative leukemia therapeutics market opportunity for market growth. Rise in product approvals for leukemia therapeutics by various key players is set to affect the market growth positively. For instance, in October 2020, Gilead Sciences, Inc. announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted approval for Tecartus (brexucabtagene autoleucel) for the treatment of adult patients (18 years and older) with relapsed or refractory B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
The leukemia therapeutics market growth is expected to be driven by high potential in untapped, emerging markets, due to availability of improved healthcare infrastructure, increase in unmet healthcare needs, rise in prevalence of chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and surge in demand for leukemia therapeutics. Furthermore, the healthcare industry in emerging economies is developing at a significant rate, owing to rise in demand for enhanced healthcare services, significant investments by government to improve healthcare infrastructure, and development of the medical tourism industry in emerging countries. The demand for leukemia therapeutics is not only limited to developed countries but is also being witnessed in the developing countries, such as China, Brazil, and India, which fuel the growth of the market. Factors such as rise in adoption of targeted therapy and increase in awareness toward early diagnosis and treatment for leukemia further drive the growth of the market.
In contrast, many of the treatments available for leukemia can be quite expensive, which limits their accessibility to patients. In addition, introduction of generic drugs into the market reduces the prices of treatments and limit the growth of the leukemia therapeutics market. Furthermore, development and marketing of new treatments for leukemia require a rigorous regulatory environment which can be time consuming and expensive. This limits the speed of new treatment development and regulatory approvals, which in turn hinders market growth.
The COVID-19 pandemic caused disruptions in the supply chain for treatment of leukemia which affects the availability of leukemia therapeutics to patients. In addition, COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the clinical trials process for many new treatments for leukemia causing delays and potentially affecting the development of new treatment which led to negatively impact the market growth. Moreover, delay in initiation of treatment for leukemia due to disruptions to healthcare systems restrains market growth. Moreover, companies and research organizations reduced their investment in R&D in response to the economic impact of the COVID-19, which limits the development of new treatment for leukemia. However, the market is anticipated to witness recovery in 2021, owing to growing awareness of the need for improved treatment for leukemia is expected to drive the leukemia therapeutics market forecast.
