Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors Market Size

Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors Market Analysis

The Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors Market size is estimated at USD 62.13 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 92.86 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 8.37% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

The COVID-19 pandemic affected healthcare systems around the world and resulted in the interruption of usual care in many healthcare facilities, exposing vulnerable patients with cancer to significant risks during the early pandemic phase. However, as the pandemic progressed tyrosine kinase inhibitor drugs started to show promising results in COVID-19 patients and there was an increased number of clinical trials. For instance, according to an article published by Frontiers in April 2022, imatinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor drug, successfully inhibited cellular tyrosine kinase as well as viral fusion, blocking the COVID-19 virus replication. The source also stated that there were three clinical trials that were underway in different parts of the world to investigate the clinical efficacy of imatinib on COVID-19 patients. Thus, the pandemic had a significant impact on the market growth, however as the pandemic has subsided currently, the studied market is expected to have stable growth during the forecast period of the study.

Factors such as the increasing prevalence of cancer, growing research activities, and investment in tyrosine kinase inhibitors are expected to enhance market growth.

The rising prevalence of cancer is a major factor driving the market growth. For instance, as per the report published by the Chinese Medical Journal in March 2022, China is experiencing a greater incidence of cancers. In 2022, ithere were approximately 4,820,000 new cancer cases in China, in which the most common is lung cancer.

Moreover, according to the data published by National Cancer Center Japan in June 2022, an estimated 1,019,000 new cases of cancer were expected in Japan in 2022, out of which 158,200 were new cases of colon/rectum cancer, 132,100 cases of stomach cancer, 128,800 cases of lung/trachea cancer, 96,400 cases of prostate cancer, and 95,000 cases of breast cancer. Thus, the greater incidence of cancers has increased the demand for various tyrosine kinase inhibitor drugs for the treatment of cancers.

Furthermore, the growing research and development activities for tyrosine kinase inhibitors are also expected to boost the market growth. For instance, in August 2022, Theseus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced business and pipeline highlights that were focussed on developing next-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) to outsmart cancer resistance. The company invested USD 7.3 million in the second quarter of 2022, as compared to USD 4.5 million for the same period in 2021. Thus, the growing research activities along with the increasing investments in tyrosine kinase inhibitors are expected to enhance the market growth.

Additionally, the rising developments by major market players are also expected to enhance market growth. For instance, in March 2021, Pfizer Inc. received United states FDA approval for a supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) for LORBRENA (lorlatinib), a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, expanding the indication to include first-line treatment of people with anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). LORBRENA is indicated for adults with metastatic NSCLC whose tumors are ALK-positive as detected by an FDA-approved test.

Thus, the aforementioned factors such as the rising prevalence of cancer, increasing research and development for novel tyrosine kinase inhibitor drugs, and the rising developments by key market players are expected to enhance the market growth. However, the high cost of therapy is expected to hinder market growth.
