Metastatic Melanoma Therapeutics Global Market Report 2024

The metastatic melanoma therapeutics market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $7.27 billion in 2023 to $8.23 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.2%. The growth observed in the historic period can be attributed to several key factors, including the groundbreaking approval of immunotherapy treatments, innovations in targeted therapy, successful outcomes in clinical trials, the introduction of combination therapies, and advancements in diagnostic technologies. These factors collectively contributed to the progress and development of treatments for metastatic melanoma during the historical period.

The metastatic melanoma therapeutics market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $12.87 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.8%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to several factors, including the expansion of the patient pool, increased research and development initiatives, identification of biomarkers, accelerated regulatory approvals, and the expansion of the market into emerging economies. Major trends expected in the forecast period encompass the exploration of immunotherapy combinations, advances in precision medicine, the emergence of targeted therapies, the development of adjuvant therapies after surgery, and the evolution of bi-specific antibodies. These trends reflect ongoing efforts to enhance the effectiveness and accessibility of metastatic melanoma therapeutics.

The anticipated growth in the metastatic melanoma therapeutics market is expected to be propelled by two significant factors. Firstly, the rising incidence of melanoma cases is poised to contribute to market expansion. Melanoma, a form of skin cancer originating in melanocytes, the pigment-regulating cells in the skin, can occur anywhere on the skin. Metastatic melanoma therapeutics encompass various treatments designed to block mutant chemicals and impede the growth of melanoma cells while minimizing harm to healthy tissue. According to the American Cancer Society, it is estimated that there will be 58,120 new cases of melanomas diagnosed in males and 39,490 in females in the US in 2023, totaling around 97,610 cases, with approximately 7,990 predicted deaths. Additionally, according to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), there is a projected more than 50% increase in cutaneous melanoma cases from 2020 to 2040, with 325,000 new cases predicted globally in 2020 and 57,000 fatalities. The rising incidence of melanoma is a key driver for the growth of the metastatic melanoma therapeutics market.

The growing demand for biologics is expected to further propel market growth. Biologics, therapeutic products derived from living organisms or containing components of living organisms, have transformed the treatment landscape for metastatic melanoma. They offer targeted and immunotherapy-based approaches that have significantly improved patient outcomes with minimal side effects compared to traditional chemotherapy. For instance, according to the Canadian Institute for Health Information, biologics accounted for 2.3% of claims and $4.4 billion (29.4%) of the total spending on public medication programs in 2021. Additionally, the US Food and Drug Administration reported that by the end of 2022, 40 biosimilars had received approval, with 27 of them available in the United States, providing alternatives to 10 brand-name biologics. The growing demand for biologics, with their targeted and immunotherapy benefits, is a significant driver for the metastatic melanoma therapeutics market.

The metastatic melanoma therapeutics market is currently witnessing a significant trend towards product innovations, with companies strategically leveraging recent technologies to enhance their market standing. Notably, in January 2022, UK-based biotechnology firm Immunocore obtained FDA approval for KIMMTRAK, the first-ever FDA-approved T cell receptor (TCR) therapy designed for treating unresectable or metastatic uveal melanoma. Developed using Immunocore's ImmTAC technology platform, KIMMTRAK demonstrated a noteworthy overall survival (OS) advantage, boasting a hazard ratio of 0.51 and a median OS of nearly 22 months.

Leading companies in the metastatic melanoma therapeutics sector are actively engaging in strategic collaborations to assess treatments for metastatic cutaneous melanoma. An example of this is the collaboration between Immunocore and Sanofi, announced in June 2022. The partnership involves a clinical trial collaboration and supply agreement, wherein Sanofi will evaluate its engineered IL-2, SAR444245, in combination with Immunocore's KIMMTRAK in patients with advanced unresectable or metastatic skin cancers.

In April 2022, Germany-based investment firm EMZ Partners acquired a majority stake in FotoFinder Systems GmbH, a move undisclosed in terms of financial details. This strategic partnership aims to facilitate FotoFinder Systems GmbH's expansion of its product portfolio and market reach. FotoFinder Systems GmbH specializes in providing skin visualization equipment utilized in melanoma therapeutics.
