North America oncology drugs market holds dominant position in the global oncology drugs market. Advanced medical treatment options available for cancer in economies such as the U.S. and increasing survival rate are key factors driving the market growth. For instance, according to the American Association for Cancer Research’s 2015 report, the number of survivors suffering from cancer increased from 9.8 million in 2001 to 14.5 million in 2014, owing to increasing adoption of better medical facilities. Moreover, increasing R&D activities by local players such as Spark Therapeutics, Inc. and Kite Pharmaceuticals and increasing product approvals by the U.S. FDA are boosting the market growth in North America.

Furthermore, Asia Pacific is expected to witness significant growth in the market, owing to increasing focus of international player on strategies such as mergers and acquisitions. For instance, in February 2018, Merck acquired Viralytics Limited, a Sydney-based immune-oncology drug developer, to strengthen its immune-oncology drug pipeline. Moreover, increasing prevalence of various types of cancer in economies such as India and China is also expected to propel growth of the market.

Key players in the oncology drugs market are focused on strategies such as mergers with research institutes and acquisition of small market players in order to enhance their market share. This in turn is expected to boost the market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in May 2018, Eli Lilly and Company acquired two market players, Armo BioSciences and AurKa Pharma for US$ 1.6 billion and US$ 111 million, respectively, to expand its cancer portfolio. In March 2016, Kite Pharma, Inc. collaborated with Genentech, a member of Roche Group, to evaluate a drug molecule, KTE-C19 in combination with atezolizumab for refractory, aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). The trials are conducted under the names ZUMA-1, ZUMA-2, ZUMA-3, and ZUMA-4.

Key companies in the oncology drugs market are focused on targeting cancer treatment based on personalized medicines. According to Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development (CSDD), 2015 report, 73% of the cancer medicines in the development have potential to be personalized medicine. Several researches are focused on targeting cancer at molecular level to offer new cancer treatments. According to an article published in The Biopharmaceutical Pipeline, 2013, new molecular entity for cancer treatment holds 80% share in the total pipeline products for cancer treatment. According to same source, the total number of potential first-in-class projects for cancer are 4,358 out of total 5,473 cancer projects.

However, several blockbuster oncology drugs are expected to lose their patent during 2018-2020, which in turn is expected to hamper the market growth during the forecast period. For instance, Roche’s Avastin, which is a humanized monoclonal antibody for the indication of colorectal, lung, breast, glioblastoma, kidney, and ovarian cancer is expected to lose its patent in July 2019 in the U.S. and in January 2022 in Europe. Some of the other drugs that are under patent expiration include, Bristol-Myers Squibb and Eli Lilly and Company’s Erbitux (cetuximab) by 2018; Roche’s Herceptin (trastuzumab) by 2019 and MabThera (Rituximab) by 2018; and Sanofi’s Zaltrap by 2020.
