The Breast Cancer Therapeutics Market size is forecast to increase by USD 15.64 billion at a CAGR of 8.4% between 2023 and 2028. Among the myriad challenges in healthcare, combating breast cancer mortality stands paramount. This malignancy manifests in the form of tumors that invade tissues, leading to potentially fatal consequences. While surgical tumor removal remains a cornerstone in treatment, advancements in oncology drugs/therapeutics offer promising avenues for combating this disease.
Additionally, hormonal therapies play a pivotal role in managing certain types of breast cancer. Detectable signs like red patches on the skin, abnormal growths in bones, and swollen lymph nodes necessitate immediate medical attention. However, the complexities of this disease can extend beyond the physical realm, often resulting in psychological distress and even breathing problems. Thus, a comprehensive approach, integrating medical, psychological, and supportive care, is imperative in addressing the multifaceted challenges posed by breast cancer.

The invasive breast cancers segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. The invasive ductal carcinoma segment also referred to as infiltrating ductal carcinoma, is characterized by the invasion of the fibrous or fatty tissue of the breast outside the lactiferous duct by cancerous cells. In addition, it is the most common type of breast cancer, accounting for about 80% of breast-cancer cases.

The invasive breast cancer segment was the largest segment and was valued at USD 22.55 billion in 2018. Moreover, symptoms of this form of cancer include swelling of the breast, skin irritation, breast pain, nipple pain, redness, nipple discharge, lumps in the underarm area, and dimpling around the nipple or on the breast skin. Besides mutations in the BRCA1, BRCA2, and ErbB2 genes, hormonal, environmental, and lifestyle factors such as smoking, poor nutrition, and prior radiation therapy administered to the chest area increase the risk of invasive breast cancer. Hence, such factors are fuelling the growth of this segment which in turn drives the market during the forecast period.
Targeted therapy segment can be referred to as a type of cancer treatment that targets proteins and controls the growth, division, and spread of cancer cells; targeted therapeutics are either small-molecule drugs or monoclonal antibodies (MAbs). In addition, monoclonal antibodies, also known as therapeutic antibodies, are proteins produced in the lab. Moreover, the monoclonal antibodies mark cancer cells to destroy the target cancer cell found. Target therapy helps build the immune system to destroy cancer cells. In addition, it also helps cancer cells from grouping by interrupting signals that cause them to grow and divide without order. Furthermore, the major contributing factor to the growth of this market is the expected approvals of new therapeutics, which in turn drives the market during the forecast period.
The growing adoption of targeted therapeutics that treat breast-cancer contributed to the slow pace of growth of this market, and it harmed the sales of hormonal therapeutics that treat breast-cancer. As a result, leading manufacturers such as Pfizer Inc., Novartis AG, and Bristol Myers Squibb Co. are entering into collaborations to increase the use of hormonal therapeutics. Moreover, manufacturers are focusing on developing combination therapeutics using hormonal and targeted therapeutics, some of which have entered the market. Hence, such factors are fuelling the market growth which in turn drives the market during the forecast period.

North America is estimated to contribute 46% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that will shape the market during the forecast period. Despite the high cost, the market in the North American region is showing significant growth due to the availability of reimbursement schemes in countries such as the US and Canada. In addition, in the US, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) provides reimbursements for the treatment and diagnosis of breast-cancer. For example, Trastuzumab and IBRANCE are covered under CMS reimbursement schemes. Furthermore, in the US, CMS introduced an array of value-based care models to control the costs of therapeutics. Hence, such factors are driving the market growth in North America during the forecast period.
The market is experiencing significant growth driven by the rising prevalence of breast cancer worldwide, prompting increased focus on therapeutic approaches and drugs to combat the disease. A notable trend in this market is the rise in strategic collaborations among pharmaceutical companies, research institutions, and healthcare organizations to accelerate the development of novel treatments and improve patient outcomes. However, a significant challenge facing the industry is the increasing approvals of biosimilars, which intensifies competition and underscores the need for innovation in treatment modalities.
Despite challenges, advancements in chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy offer promising avenues for personalized and effective breast cancer treatment. Moreover, initiatives such as breast cancer awareness campaigns and screening programs, coupled with the integration of artificial intelligence in diagnostics, contribute to early detection and better management of the disease, ultimately reducing breast cancer mortality rates.
One of the key factors driving the market growth is the rising prevalence of breast cancer. Cancer or malignant growth is known to occur in various anatomical sites in the body. In addition, globally, cancer affecting the breast is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in women. Furthermore, breast cancer was the second most common cancer and the fifth most common cause of mortality globally.
Moreover, although early diagnosis is used as a preventive approach, the risk of breast-cancer is unchanged. For example, as per the CDC, each year, about 237,000 cases and about 2,100 cases of breast-cancer are diagnosed in women and men, respectively, in the US. About 41,000 women and 450 men in the US die each year due to breast cancer. Hence, such factors are driving the market growth during the forecast period.
A key factor shaping the market growth is the rise in strategic collaborations. Another major trend in the global market is the rising number of collaborations and acquisitions among manufacturers, research groups, and government bodies. In addition, to develop an ideal therapeutic approach to treat breast-cancer, leading manufacturers are acquiring therapeutics from other manufacturers through collaborations that are worth billions.
For instance, in August 2021, Gilead Sciences and Merck and Co. Inc. formed a clinical trial partnership and supply agreement to assess the efficacy of the formers Trodelvy along with the Keytruda to treat triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Therefore, the combination treatment will be analyzed as first-line therapy for locally advanced or metastatic TNBC patients. Hence, such strategic collaborations are positively impacting the market which, in turn, drives the market growth and trends during the forecast period.
Increasing approvals of biosimilars is one of the key challenges hindering the market growth. Biosimilars or follow-on biologics can be referred to as laboratory-generated clones of expensive biologics and are known to cost 20%-25% less than their corresponding parent biologics. As a result, the emergence of biosimilars limits the growth of the market.
Moreover, regulatory approval of biosimilars is beneficial to patients, but it is not as beneficial for manufacturers. However, market players are developing biosimilars to ensure revenue generation from biologic therapeutics biosimilars nearing patent expiry dates, thereby restoring their financial position in the market. Hence, such factors are negatively impacting the market. Therefore, it is expected to hinder the market growth during the forecast period.
