Cytotoxic Drugs Market Comprehensive study by Key players Eli Lilly and Company, Sanofi S.A., F. Hoffmann-La Roche, Pfizer, Celgene Corporation, Amgen, Novartis

Cytotoxic drugs or cytostatics (cytotoxic chemotherapy) are agents used to destroy cancer cells and tumors by inhibiting cell division. These drugs are widely used as anti-cancer agents and are used to boost the outcomes of surgery or radiotherapy, reduce metastasis, and diminish cancer symptoms. Increasing use and approval of cytotoxic drugs is the major factor driving the cytotoxic drugs market growth. These drugs are also used for their immunosuppressive effect in the treatment of auto-immune conditions, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, or prevention of transplant rejection.

Global Cytotoxic Drugs Market: Drivers

The cytotoxic drugs market size is expected to grow significantly during the forecast timeframe, owing to increasing incidences of cancer worldwide. According to World Health Organization’s (WHO) 2018 report, around 9.6 million deaths were recorded due to cancer and around 18.1 million new cases of cancer were diagnosed in 2018 worldwide. Furthermore, increasing number of cytotoxic drug approvals is expected to boost the market growth. For instance, in November 2018, the U.S. FDA approved Pfizer’s DAURISMO (glasdegib) in the U.S. for adult patients with newly-diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia for whom intensive chemotherapy is not an option. Other potential factor that contributes to cytotoxic drugs market revenue growth is increasing therapeutic area of cytotoxic drugs in auto-immune conditions, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, or prevention of transplant rejection because of its immunosuppressive or anti–proliferative effects.
