Report Description
Pancreatic Cancer Drug Market Outlook 2031
The global pancreatic cancer drug market size was valued at USD 2.49 Billion in 2022 and is likely to reach USD 9.25 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 15.7% during the forecast period, 2023–2031. The increasing occurrence of pancreatic cancer and growing demand for drugs to treat the patients are propelling the market.
A pancreas is a small organ situated in the upper abdomen. Pancreatic cancer drugs refer to the medications required for pancreatic cancer treatment, caused by the growth of cancer cells in the pancreas. Irregular growth of cells leads to the formation of tissue lumps called tumors. These cells affect the normal function of the pancreas such as the producing hormones and digestive juices responsible for regulating blood sugar levels in the body.
Pancreatic cancer is a rare type of cancer caused in around 2% of total cancer diagnoses every year in the US. According to an article by The Union for International Cancer Control (UICC), about 56,654 new pancreatic cancer cases were reported in the US in 2020.
The two types of pancreatic cancer drugs are exocrine pancreatic cancer and endocrine pancreatic cancer. Enzymes released by pancreatic cells are released into the small intestine and are known as exocrine pancreatic cells. These enzymes facilitate the digestion of food that moves through the digestive tract in the body.
The report finds that the COVID-19 pandemic moderately affected the overall revenue of the global pancreatic cancer drugs market due to the increasing number of virus-infected cases worldwide.
Moreover, the lack of a timely supply of raw materials compelled manufacturers to delay the production of drugs. The fear of contracting the virus leads several patients to either cancel or delay their treatments, cancer therapies, and appointments. These factors were expected to affect the sale of pancreatic cancer drugs.
Pancreatic Cancer Drug Market Dynamics
Major Drivers
Rise in the number of pancreatic cancer patients and growing demand for treatment drugs are anticipated to drive the market. Growing geriatric population and increasing number of people suffering from obesity result in the occurrence of pancreatic cancer, which in turn, fuels the market. The need for advanced drugs in healthcare and increasing disposable income are expected to drive the market.
Existing Restraints
Pancreatic cancer drugs break the pancreatic cancer cells from the main tumor. These cells enter the bloodstream, which causes the cancer to spread into the other parts of the body. Thus, making these drug inadequate for managing pancreatic cancer.
Emerging Opportunities
Preference for combination of therapies over monotherapy is one of the ongoing trend in the pancreatic cancer drugs market. Thus, manufacturers are investing in combination therapy to increase the efficiency of the drugs and reduce the mortality rate of pancreatic cancer patients.
Additionally, companies are focusing on novel nanomedicine treatment, as it has potential in pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The nano-formulation of drugs overcomes biological barriers and enhances drug targeting by accumulating on specified sites.

Pancreatic Cancer Drug Market Segment Insights
Type Segment Analysis
Based on type, the pancreatic cancer drug market is divided into Abraxane (paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation), Afinitor (everolimus), erlotinib hydrochloride, everolimus, gemcitabine hydrochloride, fluorouracil injection, 5-fu (fluorouracil injection), and other.
The fluorouracil injection segment is expected to expand at a significant growth rate during the projection period, as it is used to treat a certain type of cancer in chemotherapy, as it helps in killing cancerous cells. The fluorouracil injection is given intravenously or applied as a topical cream, depending on the cancer type, and is used in combination with other drugs.
Application Segment Analysis
On the basis of application, the pancreatic cancer drug market is segmented into clinics and hospitals. The hospitals segment is expected to register a robust pace during the forecast period due to the presence of well-established hospital infrastructure and skilled staff.
Specialized drugs that target cancer cells are used in a hospital setup. Additionally, increasing number of hospitals across the world is projected to boost the segment.
Regional Outlook
In terms of region, the global pancreatic cancer drug market is classified as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. North America is expected to dominate the market during the projection period due to the increasing adoption of advanced diagnostic solutions and the presence of key manufacturers in the region.
The growth of the market in the region is attributed to factors such as suitable reimbursement scenarios, easy availability of treatment facilities, and relatively high expenditure on healthcare. Additionally, the region witnesses high patient awareness regarding pancreatic cancer willing to invest in advanced technological support for the treatments.
