The Cancer Therapeutics Market size is expected to reach US$ 129,653.04 million by 2031 from US$ 47,712.99 million in 2024. The market is estimated to record a CAGR of 15.4% from 2025 to 2031.
Cancer rates are escalating in these countries due to the rapidly aging population; increasing life expectancy; and lifestyle changes such as poor diet, smoking, and lack of physical activity. In 2023, the region accounted for a significant share of the global cancer incidence, recording a large number of new breast, lung, colorectal, and stomach cancer cases. The growth of healthcare infrastructure, coupled with access to advanced treatment options, is one of the key factors driving the market growth in this region. The rise of biosimilars as more affordable alternatives to expensive biologic drugs helps expand the accessibility of cancer treatments in Asia Pacific.
Key segments that contributed to the derivation of the cancer therapeutics market analysis are therapy type, indication, and distribution channel.
The rising drug approvals is fueling the growth in countries in Asia Pcific region. The Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare approved fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki in March 2023 to treat adult patients with HER2-low unresectable or recurrent breast cancer following chemotherapy. Similarly, in September 2024, Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare (MHLW) granted approval for Fruzaqla (fruquintinib) to treat patients with unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) who have shown disease progression after chemotherapy. This regulatory decision represents the first new targeted therapy approved for mCRC in Japan in over a decade, irrespective of biomarker status.
According to the Commonwealth of Australia report, in May 2023, the Minister of Health and Aged Care announced a plan to invest US$ 263.8 million to implement a National Lung Cancer Screening Program during 2023–2024, which will be followed by its commencement by July 2025. This program is co-designed with the First National Health Sector, and it is expected to maximize the treatment, prevention, and early detection of lung cancer, thus preventing over 500 lung cancer deaths annually. Such efforts allow for the development of advanced therapies and treatments for cancer patients in Australia.
Based on region, Asia Pacific cancer therapeutics market is further segmented into China, Japan, India, South Korea, Australia, and the Rest of Asia Pacific. China held the largest share in 2024.
As one of the most populous countries in the world, China is facing a growing cancer burden, and the incidence of cancer continues to rise. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), ~4.5 million new cancer cases and 3 million deaths due to cancer were reported in China in 2020. The WHO estimates indicate that approximately seven people are diagnosed with cancer and four die due to cancer in the country every minute. The most common types of cancer diagnosed are lung cancer, stomach cancer, breast cancer, thyroid cancer, and leukemia.
The development of new and more effective therapies has significantly improved patient outcomes and survival rates, leading to a growing demand for these treatments. For instance, in July 2023, AstraZeneca and Daiichi Sankyo's Enhertu (trastuzumab deruxtecan) was approved in China as a monotherapy for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic HER2-low (IHC 1+ or IHC 2+/ISH-) breast cancer who have received prior systemic therapy in the metastatic setting or developed disease recurrence during or within 6 months of completing adjuvant chemotherapy
