Segments - Colorectal Cancer Therapeutics Market by Drug Classes (Chemotherapy [Antimetabolites and Alkylating Agents], Immunotherapy [Biologic Response Modifiers, Colony Stimulating Factors, Tumor Vaccines, and Monoclonal Antibodies], and Others), and Regions (Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa) - Global Industry Analysis, Growth, Share, Size, Trends, and Forecast 2023 - 2032
The global colorectal cancer therapeutics market size was valued at USD 11.50 Billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 17.39 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 4.7% during the forecast period 2023 - 2031. size is expected to expand at a significant CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the increasing cases of colon and rectal cancer.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common type of cancer, after lung and breast cancer. Colorectal cancer also called as bowel cancer and colon cancer. It is a type of cancer which affects the colon and the rectum by uncontrolled and abnormal division of cells leading to the formation of a malignant tumor.
In-vitro colorectal cancer screening tests are done to check symptoms and presence of colorectal cancer. In this test prevalence of colorectal cancer in patients is confirmed by understanding the progression and nature of this cancer. Exact causes of CRC are unspecified. Though, various environmental and genetic factors are responsible for rising the risk of disease development.
Based on the American Cancer Society, in the U.S., around 1 out of 21 men and 1 in 23 women are projected to progress colorectal cancer in their lifetime. However, prevalence of colorectal cancer is reducing over the last few years because of advanced diagnostics and screening along with improved treatment. Emergence of front-line therapies and increasing initiatives by government are projected to aid the market. Increasing adoption of unhealthy habits, inactive lifestyle habits, and rising consumption of alcohol and tobacco smoking are responsible for inflammatory intestinal conditions which leads rising cases of colorectal cancer.
Acceptance of advanced therapies is rising. Some of the advanced therapies includes Avastin (bevacizumab), Erbitux (cetuximab), and Stivarga (regorafenib), which helps the expansion of the market. Patent of major products such as Avastin, Vectibix, and Zaltrap are projected to lose over the forecast period. Hence, expiration of patent leads to increase in penetration of biosimilars. Amgen and Allergan’s Mvasi were first biosimilar to Avastin approved in U.S. and Europe. Due to which biosimilars mark the entry into oncology field. Other biosimilars such as bevacizumab and cetuximab are anticipated to impact branded sales after launch.

Based on drug classes, the colorectal cancer therapeutics market share is divided into chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and others. The chemotherapy segment is further bifurcated into antimetabolites and alkylating agents. The immunotherapy segment is further subdivided into biologic response modifiers (BRF), colony stimulating factors (CSF), tumor vaccines, and monoclonal antibodies.
The immunotherapy segment is expected to hold a key share of the market during the forecast period. Immunotherapy segment has some adverse effects than chemotherapy segment. Chemotherapy has toxic side effects and non-specificity, because of which adoption of immunotherapeutic is increasing. Immunotherapy fights with cancer cells by using human immune system.
In this type many different drugs are present across the globe. The immunotherapy segment comprises of checkpoint inhibitors and targeted antibodies. Increasing research and development, rising awareness about cancer therapeutics among people, and advantages of immunotherapy are expected to drive the growth of the segment. Furthermore, growing therapeutic applications of immunotherapeutic agents to colorectal cancer is anticipated to propel the market expansion over the forecast period.
On the basis of regions, the colorectal cancer therapeutics market is classified as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. The market of North America is anticipated to expand at an impressive CAGR during the forecast period. The regional market growth can be attributed to increase in incidences of colorectal cancer in the region, inflated medicine prices, and increase in treatment rates.
According to the American Cancer Society, in 2017, in the U.S., approximately 39,000 new rectal cancer cases and around 95,500 new colon cancer cases were reported. This shows that incidence of colorectal cancer is rising in the U.S. which is expected to boost the regional market growth in the coming years.
On the other hand, the market of Asia Pacific is expected to exhibit a rapid growth rate in the coming years owing to availability and accessibility of effective treatment options, high unmet clinical needs of patients, and increasing disposable income.
Japan is slated to exhibit the highest CAGR among the seven major markets. This growth can be attributed to high unmet clinical needs of patients, rising disposable income, and availability of effective treatment options.
