Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Therapeutics Market Top Manufacturers F. Hoffmann-La Roche, Novartis International AG, GlaxoSmithKline

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a most common type of leukemia found in adults. It is a kind of malignancy characterized by production of abnormal white blood cells in the bone marrow. Symptoms include, swelling of the lymph nodes, fatigue, fever, infection, pain beneath the ribs, and weight loss. Although CLL is rarely seen in children and people under age 40, it is more prevalent in geriatric population. Moreover, causes of CLL are largely unknown and it is more severe than acute leukemia. The prevalence of CLL is high in males than females. Although, the incidence of this disorder is higher in white population than Asian populations, the precise cause for this cannot be explained.

The diagnosis of CLL includes Blood Cell Count and Examination, Bone Marrow Examination for patients followed by treatment. The treatment includes single or combination drug therapy, targeted therapies, monoclonal antibody therapies, white blood cell (neutrophil) growth factors. In addition to this, there are radiation therapy and splenectomy which are rarely used for the treatment.

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Therapeutics Market - Drivers

High prevalence of CLL coupled with its high mortality rate, demonstrates the unmet market need for better therapeutics. According to the American Cancer Society (ACS) estimates, around 20,110 new cases of chronic lymphocytic leukemia and 4,660 deaths from CLL is expected in year 2017 in U.S. Furthermore, high prevalence of CLL in geriatric population is expected to increase demand for chronic lymphocytic leukemia therapeutics. According to the United Nations data, in 2015, around 901 million people in the world were over 60 years of age and this number is expected to reach 1.4 billion by 2030 and to 2.1 billion by 2050.

However, continuous research and development may contribute to the development of new treatments related to malignancies, including impaired immune system, genetic factors, and viruses. Thus expected to boost the market growth during the forecast period.

Furthermore, increasing number of incidences of comorbidities, especially among geriatric population and launch of new pipeline drugs are major factors contributing to growth of the chronic lymphocytic leukemia therapeutics market. For instance, on December 8, 2015, Bendeka injection—manufactured under the collaboration of Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd. and Eagle Pharmaceuticals Inc. acquired approval from FDA for the treatment of patients with CLL and indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) — progressed during or within six months of treatment with rituximab or a rituximab-containing regimen.

However, high costs and side effects associated with these drugs is expected to restrain growth of the market over the forecast period.

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Therapeutics Market – Regional Analysis

On the basis of region, the chronic lymphocytic leukemia therapeutics market is segmented into North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa.
