Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) refers to a group of lung cancers that behave and respond to treatment differently than small cell lung cancer. It includes several histological subtypes such as adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and large cell carcinoma. NSCLC typically grows and spreads more slowly than small cell lung cancer (SCLC).
The non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) market consists of revenues generated by entities that develop and provide therapeutics, diagnostics, and treatment services targeted at NSCLC patients. These services and products are used primarily in hospital settings, cancer specialty centers, outpatient oncology clinics, and sometimes in home care environments.
The global non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) market reached a value of nearly $38,199.05 million in 2024, having grown at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.68% since 2019. The market is expected to grow from $38,199.05 million in 2024 to $63,708.97 million in 2029 at a rate of 10.77%. The market is then expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.55% from 2029 and reach $105,206.16 million in 2034.
Rising Prevalence Of Smoking And Air Pollution
Rising prevalence of smoking and air pollution propelled the growth of the non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) market during the historic period. The increasing prevalence of smoking and air pollution led to a higher incidence of non-small cell lung cancer, which in turn drove demand for effective diagnostics and treatments. For instance, in May 2024, according to American Lung Association, an organization working to save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease, the proportion of people smoking fewer than 15 cigarettes a day increased 85% from 32% to 58%. Moreover, in May 2025, according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, a US-based government agency, in 2023, about 66 million tons of pollutants were emitted into the atmosphere in the United States. Therefore, growing renovation and remodeling activities propelled the growth of the non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) market.
Bromodomain Inhibitor Gains Fast Track Designations for Resistant Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Companies in the non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) market are developing bromodomain inhibitors to block epigenetic readers that drive oncogene expression, thereby halting tumor growth and reversing therapy resistance. For instance, in August 2025, TOLREMO Therapeutics AG, a Switzerland-based biotech company, announces that its lead candidate, TT125-802, receives two Fast Track designations from the United States Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer with epidermal growth factor receptor mutations and kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog G12C mutations after progression on targeted therapies. TT125-802, an oral cyclic AMP response element binding protein binding protein/p300 inhibitor, shows encouraging efficacy and safety in Phase 1 trials, including durable monotherapy responses without thrombocytopenia. These designations support accelerated development of TT125-802 as a differentiated therapy to address drug resistance in non-small cell lung cancer.
The global non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) market is highly concentrated, with large players operating in the market. The top 10 competitors in the market made up 76.71% of the total market in 2024.
