Androgen Deprivation Therapy Market Analysis
The Androgen Deprivation Therapy Market is expected to register a significant CAGR of 5.2% during the study period.
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the androgen deprivation therapy market, as cancer patients, especially prostate cancer patients, were more susceptible to coronavirus than individuals without cancer. The high susceptibility was due to the immunosuppressive state caused by malignancy and anticancer treatment. Moreover, according to the data from Cancer Treatment and Research Communications published in January 2022, it was found that during the first COVID-19 wave, there was a 17% decrease in prostate cancer diagnoses in the Netherlands. The reduction was most noticeable among older people and those with low-risk localized cancer. With the decrease in the diagnosis of cancers, the use of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) was hampered. However, the market reached its pre-pandemic nature regarding the utilization of ADT among cancer patients, which is believed to boost the market growth in the coming years.
The key factors propelling the market growth are the rising burden of prostate cancer, increasing research and development activities, advancements in treatment technology for effective treatment of prostate cancer, rising product approvals, and strategic initiatives adopted by key market players.
Strategies such as partnerships, distribution agreements, mergers, and acquisitions adopted by key market players are expected to boost market growth. For instance, in May 2022, Myovant Sciences and Accord Healthcare, Ltd. entered into an exclusive license agreement for Accord to commercialize Relugolix for the treatment of advanced hormone-sensitive prostate cancer under the trade name ORGOVYX (Relugolix, 120 mg) in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, Switzerland, and Turkey. Such partnerships will expand the accessibility of ORGOVYX across geographies, thereby leading to lucrative market growth.
Furthermore, achieving milestones in the drug development cycle will also fuel market growth. For instance, in May 2022, Bayer reported that the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had accepted a supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) and granted Priority Review for the oral androgen receptor inhibitor (ARi) darolutamide in combination with docetaxel for the treatment of metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC).
Therefore, owing to the factors above, the studied market is expected to grow significantly during the study period. However, limited reimbursement policies and increasing side effects are expected to hinder the market growth during the study period.
