The global leukemia therapeutics market size was estimated at USD 18.90 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 36.02 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 7.43% from 2025 to 2033. The market is expanding due to a rising global prevalence of acute and chronic leukemia across all age groups.
The growing adoption of precision oncology is enabling treatments tailored to genetic and molecular profiles, thereby improving patient outcomes. Advancements in diagnostic technologies are enabling earlier detection, which supports higher rates of treatment initiation. Pharmaceutical innovation in targeted therapies and immunotherapies is accelerating clinical adoption and shifting treatment standards. For instance, in April 2025, Frontiers in Medicine published a global burden study which reported that in 2021, there were approximately 461,422.7 leukemia incident cases, projected to reach 509,737.3 by 2031, and around 320,283.6 deaths in 2021 expected to rise to 344,694.3 by 2031, while DALYs declined from 10,982,836.2 to 10,785,356.1 during the same period.
Increasing survival rates are creating a larger population requiring long-term and sequential therapy. Strong R&D momentum supported by active clinical trials is introducing new therapeutic classes with improved efficacy. The commercial availability of combination regimens is further driving prescription volume and increasing therapy value.
The rapid penetration of targeted small-molecule drugs is transforming treatment strategies for AML, CLL, and ALL, delivering high response rates with manageable safety profiles. Continuous progress in kinase inhibitors, BCL-2 inhibitors, and monoclonal antibodies is driving a shift away from traditional chemotherapy. CAR-T therapies are gaining adoption due to their ability to achieve durable remission in patients with relapsed or refractory disease. For instance, in March 2025, Therapeutic Advances in Hematology reported a phase I trial in which 7 of 10 AML patients treated with anti-CLL-1 CAR-T achieved complete remission or CRi. All six who later underwent stem cell transplantation were alive at follow-up. At the same time, another trial showed three complete remissions among six patients receiving anti-CD38 CAR-T, with only grade 1-2 CRS and no ICANS events. Growing access to stem cell transplantation, wider use of oral regimens, and active label expansion strategies are strengthening long-term market growth.
