Castrate-Resistant Prostate Cancer Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034

The castrate-resistant prostate cancer market size was valued at USD 11.19 Billion in 2024, driven by the incidence of prostate cancer, along with development of new therapies globally. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.60% during the forecast period of 2025-2034, with the values likely to reach USD 25.53 Billion by 2034.

Castrate-Resistant Prostate Cancer: Introduction

Castrate-Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC) is an advanced type of prostate cancer wherein the body stops responding to treatments. Prostate cancer is commonly treated by blocking the male sex hormone, testosterone, that promotes cancer cells growth. However, in the case of advanced castrate-resistant prostate cancer, the body stops reacting to hormone therapy.

CRPC can be metastatic or nonmetastatic. In metastatic CRPC (mCRPC), cancer spreads to other parts of the body. Common symptoms include pain while urinating, blood in urine, weight loss, fatigue, or shortness of breath. The treatment involves slowing the cancer growth and controlling the symptoms with the help of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, gene therapy and others.

In non-metastatic CRPC (nmCRPC), the cancer is only present in the prostate region.

Castrate-Resistant Prostate Cancer Market Analysis

Prostate cancer is the second most prominent cancer type in males affecting approximately 15.1% of the population. The treatment consists of radiation, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and gene therapy. Hormone therapy is mostly preferred and constitutes treatments like androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), bilateral orchiectomy, LHRH agonists, androgen receptor (AR) inhibiting drugs such as Apalutamide, Darolutamide and Enzalutamide, and GnRH antagonists. Although these treatments have brought major improvements, there are several side effects one may experience with it. Hence, there has been extensive research in the domain fuelling castrate-resistant prostate cancer market value.

Radioligand therapy has gained attention of the scientists in the recent years. It sends radioactive emitters directly to the tumour associated targets. These radioactive atoms only target the DNA of cancer cells and provides an edge over the conventional external-beam radiation therapy, which cannot target the tumour cells directly. Currently, a combination of 177Lu-PSMA-617 with actinium-225 in conjunction to the J591 monoclonal antibody, is under first and second phase trials.

Molecular targeted therapy is another latest and advancing fields of CRPC treatment. In August 2024, FDA approved the combination of Enzalutamide (Xtandi) with Talazoparib (Talzenna) to treat metastatic Castrate-Resistant Prostate Cancer. Enzalutamide works by blocking hormones that accelerate cancer cell growth followed by Talazoparib, which blocks the activities of PARP (DNA repairing) protein. This makes cancer cell survival difficult. Talazoparib is the third PARP blocking drug to receive FDA approval. As a result, the castrate-resistant prostate cancer market growth is certain with the increasing research and development in oncology.
