growth. Moreover, as per a recent statement of Bristol Myers Squibb, around a 5%
increase in revenues from Opdivo and Yervooy was reported in Q1 2022 against
Q1 2021.
Cancer Immunotherapy Market Segment Analysis - by Cancer
The Cancer Immunotherapy Market based on cancer type can be
further segmented into Lung Cancer, Breast Cancer, Colorectal Cancer, Melanoma,
Prostate Cancer, Head and Neck Cancer, Ovarian Cancer, Pancreatic Cancer and
Others. Lung Cancer held a dominant market share in 2022. It is owing
to the high prevalence of this cancer type and the availability and
effectiveness of immunotherapy to aid. As per the American Cancer Society, nearly
236,000 new lung cancer cases would be diagnosed in the U.S. in 2022 with high prevalence in older people than younger generations. However, Breast Cancer
is estimated to be the fastest-growing cancer type, with a CAGR of 15.7% over the forecast
period of 2023-2028. As per BreastCancer.Org, nearly 1 in 8 women in the
U.S. would develop cancer each year. Critically, the rampant utilization of
drugs such as dostarlimab and pembrolizumab as immune checkpoint inhibitors
would aid market growth.

Cancer Immunotherapy Market Drivers
Substantial Case Growth in a Variety of Cancer Types:
The proliferation of cancer can start in almost any organ of
the body and turn into a malignant form of the disease in no time. As per WHO,
cancer is the second leading cause of death globally, with nearly one in six
deaths in 2019 alone. Some of the common forms of cancer in men recorded are
lung, prostate, colorectal, stomach and liver cancer, whilst breast,
colorectal, lung and cervical cancer were the most recorded in women. As per
WHO 2020, nearly 2.26 million cases of breast cancer were diagnosed, amongst
various other forms of cancer. The usage of immunotherapy rightly aids in market growth.
Substantiated Research and Development Activities Pertinent to Immunotherapy:
A high focus on the development of immunotherapy as a form of
treatment for cancer is seen in leading countries, especially, the HDE (Highly
Developed Economies). As per Cancer Research Institute UK, nearly $400
million is invested by the organization each year for the prevention,
diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Similarly, in 2022, nearly $13 million was
granted to Stanford Scientists by U.S. National Cancer Institute and Cancer
Research UK for Cancer Treatment. Furthermore, rampant clinical research
trials using e-tools have successfully aided in the deployment of
immunotherapy as a treatment form. Lastly, around 13 antibody therapeutical
drugs were granted approval from 2019-2021 (January) within the EU and the U.S.
Cancer Immunotherapy Market Challenges
High Prevalence of Alternate Treatment Methodologies for Cancer along with Significant Price Challenges:
As per Cancer.Gov, immunotherapy drugs have received wide
recognition across the treatment class. However, it is not as widely used as
surgery, chemotherapy or radiation therapy. As per Cancer Research UK,
nearly 45% of treatment cases for cancer in the United Kingdom opt for
surgery; 28% for chemotherapy and nearly 27% for radiotherapy. Furthermore, the cost of
utilizing immunotherapy as a treatment method is highly expensive. For example,
CAR-T Therapy costs above $475,000 per patient (Kymirah). Similarly, monoclonal
antibodies for Nivolumab are $6580 per infusion. These factors hamper the market growth.
