The rising prevalence of cancer is expected to drive the growth of the bavencio (avelumab) market. Cancer, a group of diseases characterized by the uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells, is increasingly prevalent due to factors such as poor lifestyle choices, environmental pollutants, and advances in diagnostic techniques. Bavencio (avelumab) is an immune checkpoint inhibitor that works by enhancing the body’s natural immune response, targeting and destroying cancer cells. This mechanism offers hope for improving survival rates and quality of life for cancer patients. For example, in January 2023, the American Cancer Society reported 1,958,310 new cancer cases and 609,820 cancer-related deaths in the United States, highlighting the growing burden of cancer and the increasing demand for effective treatments like bavencio.

A key trend in the bavencio market is the adoption of strategic partnerships to enhance technology integration and expand market reach. Strategic partnerships involve collaborations between organizations to combine resources, expertise, and efforts toward achieving mutual objectives. For instance, in May 2025, Aulos Bioscience, a US-based immuno-oncology company, partnered with Merck KGaA, a German science and technology company, to conduct a clinical trial evaluating the combination of AU-007, an IL-2 therapeutic, with Bavencio and low-dose aldesleukin. This Phase 2 trial aims to assess the combination’s potential in treating solid tumors, with Bavencio’s anti-PD-L1 properties and AU-007’s immune-enhancing mechanism showing promise in preclinical studies.
