Market Segmentation
The cancer immunotherapy market is segmented by type, indication, and region.
By type, immune checkpoint inhibitors lead the global market, accounting for 37.5% share in 2024. These drugs block proteins like PD-1, PD-L1, and CTLA-4, preventing cancer cells from evading immune detection. Flagship products such as Keytruda (Merck & Co.), Opdivo (Bristol-Myers Squibb), and Tecentriq (Roche) continue to dominate due to wide-ranging indications and strong clinical outcomes.
Checkpoint inhibitors have redefined cancer therapy, offering long-term remission and higher survival rates across multiple tumor types, including lung, melanoma, breast, and urinary cancers. Ongoing research continues to expand their use for emerging indications and combination therapies.
Regional Insights
North America Dominates the Global Cancer Immunotherapy Market
North America leads with a 57.4% market share in 2024, supported by robust healthcare infrastructure, rapid adoption of innovative treatments, and a high cancer burden. In the U.S., immunotherapy sales generated record revenues, with Keytruda contributing over 60% of its total sales regionally.
The region's strong oncology pipeline and routine integration of immunotherapies into treatment guidelines have further solidified its dominance. Programs by FDA and clinical research consortia have accelerated access to breakthrough therapies for patients across multiple cancer categories.
Asia-Pacific: Fastest Growing Region
The Asia-Pacific region is set to witness the fastest growth rate, owing to rising cancer prevalence, improving healthcare infrastructure, and expanding domestic drug manufacturing capabilities. Increasing government approvals - such as China's NMPA approval of Akeso's Ivonescimab (PD-1/VEGF bispecific antibody) in April 2025 - are improving availability of advanced immunotherapies locally.
