Neutropenia Treatment Market

Neutropenia Treatment Market Overview:

The global neutropenia market size was valued at $12,602.5 million in 2019, and is expected to reach $19,303.1 million by 2027, with a CAGR of 5.4% during the forecast period. 

Neutropenia is a disease in which the amount of white blood cells (neutrophils) in the blood supply is decreased, reducing the capacity of the body to combat infections. Neutropenia is defined as an absolute count of neutrophils (ANC) below 1500 per microliter (1500/microL); severe neutropenia is defined as an ANC below 500/microL. 

The neutropenia market is expected to register a substantial growth in the future, owing to rise in incidences of cancer cases. In addition, increase in R&D efforts by companies to develop novel therapies for treatment of neutropenia is expected to boost the market growth during the forecast period. 

However, high cost of treatment of neutropenia and stringent rules and regulations for product approvals are anticipated to hamper the neutropenia treatment market growth during the forecast period. On the contrary, transitional shift from branded drugs to low cost biosimilars is expected to provide remunerative opportunities for the market players.

The neutropenia cancer market is segmented on the basis of treatment and distribution channel. By treatment, it is categorized into colony-stimulating factor, antibiotics, and antifungals. Colony-stimulating factors are secreted glycoproteins. These bind to receptor proteins on the surface of hematopoietic stem cells. The colony-stimulating factors are of two types, namely, granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). 

On the basis of distribution channel, it is divided into hospitals pharmacies, retail pharmacies, and online pharmacies. Neutropenia treatment drugs are marketed by various sales channel such as pharmacies, within the hospitals. These medications are also offered by online providers through registered websites, which offer the ease of ordering medicines over the internet. The retail pharmacies segment is expected to dominate the global neutropenia market, owing to adequate supply of products and easy availability and accessibility of retail pharmacies. Online pharmacies are projected to generate significant revenue in the global neutropenia treatment market during the forecast period.

The global neutropenia treatment market is segmented on the basis of region into North America (the U.S., Canada, and Mexico), Europe (the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (Japan, China, India, Australia, and rest of Asia-Pacific), LAMEA (Brazil, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and rest of LAMEA). 

North America accounted for the largest share in the global neutropenia treatment market. The neutropenia treatment market witnessed a vast growth in North America and is expected to dominate the market in the coming years. This is attributed to the increase in incidences of leukemia in the region. According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer, in 2018, 169,270 people are living with leukemia for five years and 58,876 new leukemia cases were diagnosed in North America. In addition, major key players of the market operate in North America. Further, the demand for neutropenia treatment in North America is dominated by the US. The dominance of the region is due to a rise in demand for medicinal needs for febrile neutropenia and introduction of new legislation for promotion and production of biosimilars. 

Asia-Pacific is expected to witness highest growth rate in the market throughout the forecast period. Asia possesses high potential for the growth of neutropenia treatment market, owing to leukemia cases and number of patients undergoing first-line chemotherapy treatment. 

According to the Lancet Oncology journal, globally, 58% of new cancer patients (9.8 million out of 17 million) received chemotherapy in 2018. The report estimated that the number of new cancer cases would increase to 26 million in 2040, of which 53% (15 million out of 26 million)—an estimated 5.2 million new cancer cases — are likely to undergo chemotherapy. More than one-third of the 15 million citizens needing chemotherapy in 2040 would be residing in eastern Asia (5.2 million, 35%). In comparison, 12% (1.7 million) would live in South Central Asia, 10% (1.4 million) in South East Asia, 6% (922,452).
