With rapid growth comes growing pains…

The field of oncology is rapidly growing and evolving. In 2022, global spending on cancer medicines was approximately 196 billion USD, and this number is forecasted to reach $375 billion by 2027. In fact, for the past five years, the number of treated patients with cancer has seen an average annual increase of 5% globally (1). However, with rapid growth comes growing pains.
New competitors are entering the market at a rapid pace, and competition is intensifying. There are currently more than 2,000 oncology products under development. Emerging biopharma companies are responsible for over 70% of these products (up 20 percentage points from 2017) while Big Pharma has seen a declining share of the oncology pipeline, at only around 20% of products currently under development (down 15 percentage points from 2017). This competitive intensity tends to focus on smaller patient populations with multiple treatment options.

As a result, treatment algorithms are becoming more complex, leading to variable uptake and use of new treatments across regions, clinics, and prescribers.
Further, the time advantage traditionally afforded to new cancer therapies has been substantially reduced due to advances in our understanding of the underlying tumor biology and the emergence of novel treatment modalities.
