Asparaginase for Injection Market Report 2025

The asparaginase for injection market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $2.07 billion in 2024 to $2.16 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising healthcare expenditure, increasing focus on pediatric cancer treatment, high unmet medical needs, availability of reimbursements, increasing cancer prevalence, better healthcare infrastructure, and rising awareness of rare diseases.

The asparaginase for injection market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.65 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing demand for targeted cancer therapies, increasing healthcare investments, a rise in pharmaceutical partnerships, a growing geriatric population, an increasing number of clinical trials, and demand for precision medicine. Major trends in the forecast period include personalized medicine, combination therapies with chemotherapy, advancements in biotechnology, advancements in drug delivery systems, a shift towards intravenous formulations, an emphasis on patient-centered care, and the rise of alternative cancer therapies.

The forecast of 5.3% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.2% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. The imposition of tariffs may pose a significant challenge for pediatric oncology by increasing costs of leukemia treatments like asparaginase imported from Poland and Denmark, potentially reducing ALL therapy options and raising childhood cancer care expenditures. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The increasing incidence of leukemia is expected to drive the growth of the asparaginase for injection market in the coming years. Leukemia is a cancer that originates in the blood-forming tissues, such as the bone marrow, and leads to the uncontrolled production of abnormal white blood cells. The global incidence of leukemia is on the rise, resulting in more cases being diagnosed annually. This trend is part of a broader increase in the overall burden of cancer, with leukemia becoming more frequently identified across different age groups. Asparaginase for injection is a treatment for leukemia that works by depleting asparagine, an amino acid that leukemia cells cannot produce on their own, thereby starving them and inhibiting their growth. For example, in March 2025, a report from the American Cancer Society, a non-profit organization based in the United States, projected that approximately 22,010 people would be diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in the U.S., most of whom would be adults. The report also anticipated around 11,090 deaths from AML, with the majority of these deaths occurring in adults. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of leukemia is expected to fuel the growth of the asparaginase for injection market.

The growing preference for personalized medicine is also anticipated to accelerate the growth of the asparaginase for injection market. Personalized medicine involves tailoring treatment and healthcare decisions to the specific characteristics of each patient. The demand for personalized medicine is rising as it enables more precise and effective treatments by customizing therapies based on an individual’s genetic makeup. This approach reduces the trial-and-error process in prescribing treatments, improves treatment outcomes, and ensures better overall patient care. The increased demand for personalized medicine is positively impacting the asparaginase for injection market by driving the development of customized formulations, such as recombinant versions. These tailored options help address patient sensitivities, including allergies to E. coli-derived enzymes, enhancing both the safety and effectiveness of leukemia treatments. For example, a February 2024 report by the Personalized Medicine Coalition, a U.S.-based non-profit organization, revealed that the FDA approved 16 new personalized treatments for patients with rare diseases in 2023, up from just six approvals in 2022. As a result, the growing preference for personalized medicine is expected to further propel the asparaginase for injection market.

Leading companies in the asparaginase for injection market are increasingly focusing on developing technologically advanced products, such as recombinant medications, to treat patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and lymphoblastic lymphoma (LBL). Recombinant medications are drugs made by using genetically engineered organisms to produce therapeutic proteins or hormones that mimic natural human substances. For instance, in July 2023, Jazz Pharmaceuticals, a biopharmaceutical company based in Ireland, received approval from the European Medicines Agency’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) for JZP458 (recombinant Erwinia asparaginase, or crisantaspase). This treatment was approved as part of a multi-agent chemotherapy regimen for ALL patients who are hypersensitive to E. coli-derived asparaginase, offering an alternative for about 30% of patients who have difficulty with traditional therapies. Clinical trials have shown that JZP458 maintains essential serum asparaginase activity, supporting its role in treatment.

The sudden escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the pharmaceutical sector. Companies are grappling with higher costs on imported active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), glass vials, and laboratory equipment - many of which have limited alternative sources. Generic drug manufacturers, already operating with minimal profit margins, are particularly affected, with some scaling back production of low-margin medications. Biotech firms are also experiencing delays in clinical trials due to shortages of specialized reagents linked to tariffs. In response, the industry is shifting API production to regions like India and Europe, building up inventory reserves, and advocating for tariff exemptions on essential medicines.
