The global breast cancer drugs market size is expected to reach USD 58.69 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 9.09% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growth is majorly attributed to the rising disease prevalence, increasing R&D investments, and initiatives by prominent players. Moreover, the trend towards personalized medicine, which involves tailoring treatment for individual patients based on their genetic makeup, is driving the growth of the market. Advances in genomics and molecular biology have led to the development of targeted therapies, which are more effective and have fewer side effects than traditional chemotherapy. Governments around the world are investing in the research and development of new drugs and treatment options. For instance, the U.S.
National Cancer Institute has established several research programs to develop new drugs and improve the efficacy of existing treatments. Similarly, in January 2023, the Australian government announced an investment of USD 16.01 million in developing targeted treatments for women. The investment is expected to fund 23 projects including research on breast cancer through a grant program by the National Health and Medical Research Council. The increasing participation of non-profit organizations is anticipated to propel the market growth. For instance, in June 2022, Susan G. Komen, a breast cancer organization, announced to receive USD 21 million to support around 48 research projects at 26 academic institutions. The majority of funds are allocated to research on aggressive breast cancers, followed by clinical trials and research on eliminating the disparities in the market.
Furthermore, breast cancer patients have been affected by the pandemic as the risk of complications from COVID-19 increases due to their weakened immune systems. As a result, many patients had to postpone or cancel their treatments, which affected the demand for drugs. Moreover, the economic impact of the pandemic also affected the market. The loss of employment or deduction in the income level impacted the affordability of drugs. This, in turn, resulted in reduced product demand and short to medium-term effects on the market. The cost of drugs has a significant impact on the market. High drug prices can limit their usage and affect demand, while lower prices can increase accessibility and demand. Thus, stakeholders need to balance the need for affordable drugs with the need for continued R&D to improve treatment options.
