Solid Tumor Cancer Treatment Global Market Report 2025

Solid tumor cancer treatment pertains to addressing abnormal tissue masses that typically lack cysts or liquid regions. These tumors encompass various organs such as the brain, ovary, breast, colon, and others. The proliferation of tumor cells is primarily driven by cancer stem cells undergoing division.

The principal treatments for solid tumor cancer encompass chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, hormone therapy, and surgical interventions. Chemotherapy involves drug-based therapies aimed at halting cell division or eliminating cancer cells to impede their growth. Its applications extend across various cancer types such as breast, cervical, colorectal, lung, prostate, among others. These treatments are utilized across diverse end-users such as hospitals, research institutes, and home care settings.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the healthcare sector, especially in the supply of essential medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and pharmaceuticals. Hospitals and healthcare providers are grappling with higher costs for imported surgical tools, imaging systems, and consumables like syringes and catheters, many of which have limited domestic substitutes. These escalating expenses are putting pressure on healthcare budgets, prompting some providers to delay equipment upgrades or pass increased costs on to patients. Furthermore, tariffs on raw materials and components are disrupting the manufacturing of vital drugs and devices, leading to supply chain delays. In response, the industry is adopting diversified sourcing strategies, expanding local production where feasible, and pushing for tariff exemptions on critical medical products.

The solid tumor cancer treatment market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides solid tumor cancer treatment market statistics, including solid tumor cancer treatment industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a solid tumor cancer treatment market share, detailed solid tumor cancer treatment market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the solid tumor cancer treatment industry. This solid tumor cancer treatment market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The solid tumor cancer treatment market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $232.2 billion in 2024 to $265.41 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to advancements in research and development, drug development and approvals, increased cancer incidence rates, growing aging population, patient advocacy and awareness.

The solid tumor cancer treatment market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $440.67 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to personalized medicine trends, immunotherapy advancements, global health challenges and emerging diseases, regulatory frameworks and drug approvals, shifts in healthcare financing and reimbursement models. Major trends in the forecast period include immunotherapy advancements, precision medicine and biomarker identification, combination therapies, digital health integration, technological innovations in treatment modalities.

The forecast of 13.5% growth over the next five years reflects a slight reduction of 0.2% from the previous projection. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Tariff escalations are likely to burden U.S. patients by driving up the cost of next-gen CAR-T cell therapies and tumor ablation devices sourced from China and South Korea, exacerbating out-of-pocket expenses and delaying life-saving interventions. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The rising incidence of cancer is expected to significantly drive the growth of the solid tumor cancer treatment market in the coming years. Cancer is a serious condition characterized by the rapid and uncontrolled reproduction of the body's cells, leading to abnormal growths. Solid tumor cancer treatment refers to therapies aimed at removing solid tumors from the bodies of cancer patients. For example, a report from the World Health Organization, a Switzerland-based international public health agency, indicated that in 2022, nearly 20 million new cancer cases were reported, resulting in approximately 10 million deaths from the disease. Demographic projections suggest that the annual incidence of cancer could reach 35 million by 2050, representing a 77% increase from 2022 levels. Lung cancer was the most frequently diagnosed type, accounting for around 2.5 million new cases, or one in every eight cancers globally, which constitutes 12.4% of all cancers worldwide. Thus, the increasing incidence of cancer is a key factor driving the growth of the solid tumor cancer treatment market.

The growing population is projected to drive the expansion of the solid tumor cancer treatment market in the coming years. An aging population refers to a demographic shift characterized by an increasing proportion of elderly individuals within a society over time. Solid tumor cancer treatment is specifically designed to address the unique challenges and complexities faced by older adults diagnosed with various types of solid tumors. For example, a report from the Population Reference Bureau, a Kenya-based nonprofit organization, noted that the population of Americans aged 65 and older is expected to rise from 58 million in 2022 to 82 million by 2050, representing a 47% increase. Additionally, the share of this age group within the overall population is projected to grow from 17% to 23% during the same timeframe. Therefore, the increasing aging population is a significant factor driving the growth of the solid tumor cancer treatment market.

Innovation in products and treatments has emerged as a notable trend in the solid tumor cancer treatment market, with major companies actively focusing on introducing new solutions to sustain their market positions. An illustrative example is Shanghai Henlius Biotech, a China-based biopharmaceutical company, which launched the PD-1 inhibitor HANSIZHUANG in March 2022. HANSIZHUANG, the company's first innovative monoclonal antibody, was developed for treating adults with advanced, unresectable, or metastatic MSI-H (microsatellite instability-high) solid tumors unresponsive to prior conventional treatments. This product innovation not only provides fresh hope for patients with MSI-H solid tumors but also aligns with the demand for precision immunotherapy, fostering the high-quality development of China's biopharmaceutical industry in the solid tumor cancer treatment market.

Prominent companies in the solid tumor cancer treatment market are directing their focus towards the development of monitoring platforms that leverage tailored tests, including personalized assays, for precise detection. Personalized assays involve customized laboratory tests or analytical procedures designed to examine specific characteristics or markers unique to an individual, often based on their genetic or molecular profile. An exemplary illustration is Invitae, a US-based medical genetics company, which, in collaboration with the Tracerx consortium at University College London, launched a personalized cancer monitoring platform in March 2022. This platform is specifically designed for the detection of minimal or molecular residual disease in patients with solid tumors. Utilizing personalized assays based on the patient's tumor, the platform identifies circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in the blood. These assays play a crucial role in helping clinicians assess patient risk, gauge treatment response, and predict the likelihood of recurrence.
