They launched “Alimta” drug for the treatment of types of cancer such as Lung, Liver, Colorectal, Stomach, Breast, and others. Most cancers that start in the lung, known as primary lung cancers, are carcinomas. The two main types are small-cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) and non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). Pemetrexed is widely used to treat the non-small lung carcinoma.

COVID-19 Scenario Analysis:

Pharmaceutical and biotech companies together with governments around the globe are working to address the COVID-19 outbreak, from supporting the development of vaccines to planning for medicines supply chain challenges.

Such high demand for these drugs has presented huge opportunity for manufacturers of COVID-19 management drugs, as many developed countries are short of these drugs. Owing to the demand for vaccine and treatment drugs for COVID-19, the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry is expected to witness a significant growth in the future.

As the COVID-19 virus outbreak in December 2019, the disease has spread to almost 100 countries across the globe with the “World Health Organization” announcing it a public health emergency. The global impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic are already starting to be felt, and will significantly affect the pemetrexed market in 2020.

The factor such as “rising intake of chemotherapy drugs, increasing demand for the treatment associated with cancer, rising Instances of lung cancer. Lung cancer, also known as lung carcinoma, is a malignant lung tumour characterized by uncontrolled cell growth in tissues of the lung, rising government initiative and the presence of favourable government policies, Launch of generic version at low price is expected to rise adoption of the drug, Approval of novel indications of pemetrexed are drive the growth of pemetrexed market. A factor that restrain the growth of the market is the high cost of chemotherapy drug development. The major opportunities available for pemetrexed market includes, increasing R&D activities, introducing new advanced therapy for lung cancer, presence of favourable government initiative, rising investment in R&D, increasing launch of new product
