Kidney Cancer Drugs Global Market Report 2024

The kidney cancer drugs market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $7.81 billion in 2023 to $8.23 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3%. The growth observed in the historic period can be attributed to factors such as increased healthcare expenditure, rapid growth in the elderly population, an increase in pharmaceutical research and development (R&D) expenditure, and advances in cancer drug discovery.

The kidney cancer drugs market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $10.12 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3%. The forecasted growth in the period ahead can be attributed to factors such as the increasing geriatric population, a rise in healthcare expenditure, an increase in acquisitions and partnerships for drug development, and the high potential of emerging economies. Major trends expected in the forecast period include adopting 3D technology in manufacturing drugs and creating models to provide matrix interactions and more personalized treatments, investing in biomarkers to produce more effective drugs in a smaller time frame, launching or adopting new treatment developments to treat patients and give them a longer survival time, improving treatment by offering personalized medicine, investing in AI solutions to save drug development time and accurately diagnose a patient, and collaborating and partnering with other companies or government bodies to accelerate the development of new drugs.

The surge in the incidence of renal cancer stands out as a significant driver of the kidney cancer drugs market. Lifestyle changes, tobacco consumption, and an unhealthy diet contribute to the proliferation of renal cancer cells. For example, the American Cancer Society reported in January 2022 that approximately 79,000 new cases of kidney cancer (50,290 in men and 28,710 in women) are expected to be diagnosed, resulting in 13,920 fatalities (8,960 in men and 4,960 in women). The majority of diagnoses occur between the ages of 65 and 74, with an average age of diagnosis being 64. Kidney cancer is relatively rare in individuals under the age of 45, emphasizing the driving force behind the growth of the kidney cancer drugs market.

Government initiatives and funding addressing kidney disorders are anticipated to propel the kidney cancer drugs market's growth. Government initiatives and funding provide financial support to entities and projects contributing to public services and the economy. These initiatives enhance disease surveillance, raise awareness, and promote research in kidney disorders. For instance, in July 2022, the United States House Committee on Appropriations initiated investment programs to boost kidney health. This includes $8.5 million in funding for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's chronic kidney disease program, aimed at promoting awareness, diagnosis, and treatment. Additionally, a living donation investment of $1 million was allocated to the national living donor assistance center, bringing the total to $8 million for innovation and research. Consequently, government initiatives and funding for kidney disorders play a pivotal role in driving the kidney cancer drugs market's growth.

The kidney (renal) cancer drug market is witnessing a trend toward combination therapy, where the effects of various drugs are combined to reduce the likelihood of cancer-resistant cells developing. The improved understanding of renal cancer causes has led to the development of combination therapy, often combining vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drugs with inhibitors of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR). For instance, in November 2021, Merck & Co., Inc. announced FDA approval for the anti-PD-1 drug KEYTRUDA as adjuvant treatment for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients at intermediate-high or high risk of recurrence after nephrectomy or nephrectomy with resection of metastatic lesions.

Major companies in the kidney cancer drugs sector are strategically developing innovative drugs and focusing on obtaining increased approvals to drive market revenues. Drug approvals involve a thorough evaluation by regulatory authorities to ensure safety, efficacy, and quality. In March 2021, AVEO Pharmaceuticals, Inc. launched tivozanib (Fotivda), a kinase inhibitor, approved by the FDA for adult patients with relapsed or refractory advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) following two or more prior systemic therapies.

In October 2022, LG Chem, Ltd. acquired AVEO Oncology for $566 million. This acquisition positions LG Chem's Life Sciences Division in the U.S., diversifies its pipeline with various oncology treatments, and accelerates LG Chem's growth efforts in the oncology sector. The collaboration aims to establish a global oncology organization with a robust portfolio, spanning from discovery to clinical development, biologics manufacturing, and U.S. commercialization, ultimately broadening access to treatment options. AVEO Oncology is a U.S.-based biopharmaceutical company committed to delivering cancer patients drugs that enhance their quality of life.
