MARKET DRIVERS

Cancer Burden and Aging Population Propel Antibody-Drug Conjugates Market in Asia Pacific

The growing prevalence of cancer and the increasing geriatric population, are driving the market growth of the APAC antibody-drug conjugates market. According to Globocan Data 2020, 52% of people with cancer are 65 years of age or older, and this number is predicted to be double by 2040. Lung cancer is the most common in China, followed by stomach, liver, colon, rectum, and breast cancers.

The prevalence of lung cancer was highest in men, followed by cancers of the abdomen at 41%, liver at 37%, esophagus at 17%, and colorectal cancer at 13%. The aged population is reported to have more cancer rate than younger people. According to the article on the aging of the world population published in 2019, the proportion of the population over 65 will approach 17% worldwide by 2050. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that by 2050, 82% of older people will live in Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development countries (OECD). The aging of the population will have profound consequences for health systems. According to Globocan, in 2020, around 49.5% of cancer cases worldwide were recorded in Asia. Therefore, this region remains a significant untapped market for antibody-drug conjugates.

Antibody-drug conjugates are used in the field of oncology and hematology as well. Around 8.5 million people die of cancer each year around the world. Doctors worldwide focus on providing cutting-edge drugs and therapies to treat cancer cells without compromising healthy cells. Owing to the high prevalence of cancer due to genetic predispositions, unhealthy lifestyle, and occupational hazards, there has been an increase in cancer treatment in hospitals. Some aggressive cancers like leukemia, hepatocellular carcinoma, and other hematological disorders have benefited from using antibody-drug conjugates.

With the approvals of antibody-drug conjugates, treatment options have grown exponentially than conventional chemotherapy, developing customized therapies. Recent technological developments are navigating key market players towards collaborations between laboratories, research and development center, and hospitals to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of antibody-drug conjugates. All these factors above are anticipated to drive the Asia Pacific antibody-drug conjugates market in the years to come.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

Decline in Cancer Diagnoses and Regulatory Barriers Restrain ADC Market in Asia Pacific
