The global biological therapies market for cancer is expected to grow from $157 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $225 billion by the end of 2030, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5% during the forecast period of 2025 to 2030.

The biological therapies for cancer market has experienced rapid growth, driven by increasing adoption of targeted and immuno-oncology therapies across multiple tumor types. Rising demand for precision medicine is a key growth factor, as clinicians and healthcare systems prioritize treatments tailored to the molecular and immunological profile of individual patients. Advances in monoclonal antibodies, immune checkpoint inhibitors, CAR-T cell therapies, bispecific antibodies, and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are expanding the range of effective treatment options and enabling more durable clinical responses.

Major global players, including Merck & Co., Bristol-Myers Squibb, F. Hoffmann-La Roche, AstraZeneca, Johnson & Johnson, and Novartis, are driving innovation through pipeline expansion, clinical trial programs, and strategic collaborations with hospitals, research institutions, and biotechnology companies. In addition, partnerships between pharmaceutical companies, academic research centers, and government-funded initiatives are accelerating access to cutting-edge biologics and fostering the development of combination therapies.
