This report includes coverage of immuno-oncology overview, trends, leading marketed and pipeline products, market analysis, regulatory landscape and market access, opportunities, challenges, and unmet needs, commercial assessment - major current and future players in the immuno-oncology field.

The global market value for bispecific antibodies, cancer vaccines, checkpoint modulators, cell therapies, cytokines, and oncolytic viruses increased from $10.4 billion in 2014 to $74 billion in 2024.

This growth trajectory is expected to continue, with the total market reaching $186 billion by 2031, driven mainly by checkpoint modulators, followed closely by T-cell engagers.

China offers the broadest therapeutic access with 74 approved agents available, significantly more than the 53 agents accessible in the US, while non-small cell lung cancer is the indication with the highest number of approved immuno-oncology treatments.

Personalized treatment using biomarkers, therapeutic options for checkpoint refractory patients, and the high cost of therapy remain as unmet needs.
