Acute Myeloid Leukemia Global Market Report 2024

The acute myeloid leukemia market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.21 billion in 2023 to $2.39 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.0%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to factors such as the increasing aging population, environmental influences, genetic predisposition, restricted treatment options, and advancements in medical technology.

The acute myeloid leukemia market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.21 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the continual advancements in targeted therapies, the development of immunotherapies, the adoption of precision medicine approaches, heightened awareness and early detection efforts, and collaborative research initiatives. Significant trends expected in the forecast period encompass a focus on minimal residual disease monitoring, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in treatment decision support, an emphasis on supportive care and quality of life interventions, collaborative research initiatives and clinical trials, as well as the implementation of patient advocacy and empowerment programs.

The anticipated growth in the acute myeloid leukemia market is driven by the expanding older population base and increasing unmet healthcare needs. This growth is particularly associated with the elderly population, aged 65 and above, facing health issues such as acute myeloid leukemia. In 2022, the American Cancer Society USA (ACS) reported that AML was prevalent among the elderly, with an average diagnosis age of 68 and notably low survival rates. AML affected around 60,650 individuals in 2022, resulting in 24,000 deaths. Hence, the geriatric population base and the rising healthcare needs contribute to the advancement of the acute myeloid leukemia market.

The growth of the acute myeloid leukemia market is further propelled by the increasing adoption of personalized medicine. This innovative medical approach takes into account individual variations in genes, environments, and lifestyles for treatment and healthcare. In the case of AML, personalized medicine involves molecular profiling to identify specific genetic mutations and biomarkers unique to each patient. This information guides the selection of targeted therapies and customized treatment plans, optimizing intervention effectiveness while minimizing adverse effects. In 2022, the Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) approved 37 new molecular entities (NMEs), with approximately 34% classified as personalized medicines by the Personalized Medicine Coalition (PMC). Hence, the rising adoption of personalized medicine is a key driver for the growth of the acute myeloid leukemia market.

A notable trend in the acute myeloid leukemia market is the increasing focus on research and development (R&D) by pharmaceutical groups. R&D efforts aim to develop improved products and services to meet the demands of drug development. For example, a clinical trial titled 'Daunorubicin or Idarubicin With Cytarabine Plus Quizartinib vs. Physician's Choice in Newly Diagnosed FLT3-ITD+ AML (Q-SOC)' is in Phase III, initiated in November 2021, and expected to conclude by March 2025, according to the National Library of Medicine.

Major companies in the acute myeloid leukemia market are concentrating on the development of advanced drug solutions, such as maintenance monotherapy, to enhance their product portfolios and address unmet medical needs. Maintenance monotherapy involves administering a single therapeutic agent as an ongoing, long-term therapy to prevent the recurrence or progression of a medical condition. In July 2023, Daiichi Sankyo Company Limited received approval from the United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) for quizartinib (Vanflyta) as maintenance monotherapy for newly diagnosed AML in adults with FLT3 internal tandem duplication (ITD)-positive status. The approval is based on positive results from the QuANTUM-First trial, demonstrating a significant improvement in overall survival. The dosage of quizartinib varies during induction, consolidation, and maintenance phases, and it is not indicated as maintenance monotherapy following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

In March 2023, QIAGEN partnered with Servier Laboratories for an undisclosed amount to develop a companion diagnostic test for TIBSOVO, an isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDH1) inhibitor intended for AML treatment. This collaboration aims to create and validate a real-time in vitro PCR test designed to detect IDH1 gene mutations in AML patients, using blood and bone marrow samples. The partnership enhances global accessibility to TIBSOVO for AML patients with IDH1 mutations and underscores QIAGEN's role in developing companion diagnostics for emerging biomarkers in onco-hematology, supporting precision medicine initiatives. Servier Laboratories, a France-based pharmaceutical company, is a key player in this collaboration.
