Global outlook of the prostate cancer drugs market
Technavio’s market research analysts predict the global prostate cancer drugs market to grow steadily during the predicted period and post an impressive revenue of more than USD 10 billion by 2020. This industry research report identifies the preference of physicians towards the adoption of hormonal therapies to be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the growth of the drugs market for the treatment of prostate cancer. Hormonal therapies stop the growth of cancer cells by reducing the amount of testosterone in the body. Due to their effectiveness, hormonal therapies have an increased adoption among physicians. This increased preference will improve the sales of hormonal therapies including luteinising hormone blockers, GnRH blockers, anti-androgens, and abiraterone and will, in turn, propel the market’s growth prospects.
One of the major trends that will gain traction in this market is the advances in early stage diagnosis through new diagnostic methods. The emergence of novel diagnostic tests that will be more accurate than the conventional prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test will help scientists diagnose prostate cancer much better. New tests such as phi test, 4Kscore test, Progensa, TMPRSS2: ERG and ConfirmMDX will be more accurate in early stage diagnosis. This in turn, will enhance the patient pool and consecutively aid in the growth of the market.
Competitive landscape and key vendors
The market is characterized by the presence of a considerable number of prostate cancer drug manufacturers and appears to be highly fragmented. Since all vendors compete to gain significant revenue shares, the market appears to be highly competitive. The advances in R&D and the introduction of novel therapies will intensify the level of competition in the market. In addition to developing advanced drugs, prostate cancer drug companies also focus on acquiring other smaller vendors, which will increase their product portfolio and enhance their customer base.
