Market Story
Capecitabine-an oral prodrug of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-has become a cornerstone in modern oncology due to its efficacy, ease of administration, and ability to reduce hospital burden through at-home treatment. It is widely prescribed for colorectal, breast, and gastric cancers, either as a monotherapy or in combination regimens such as XELOX (capecitabine + oxaliplatin).

The market's steady growth is underpinned by increasing cancer prevalence worldwide, especially colorectal malignancies, which rank among the top three globally. The convenience of oral dosing continues to enhance patient compliance, while generic competition is reducing costs and expanding accessibility in emerging markets.

Additionally, ongoing research in adjuvant and neoadjuvant therapies is broadening the drug's clinical applications, particularly in early-stage cancers. Government and NGO-backed oncology access programs are further fueling market penetration in low- and middle-income countries.
