Thyroid cancer occurs in the cells of the thyroid, the mutations allow the cells to grow and multiply rapidly. The cells also lose the ability to die, as normal cells would.
Market Dynamics
Gradual increase in number of patients suffering from chronic cancer and increasing demand for advanced care from patients are major factors expected to drive the growth of global thyroid cancer market. According to American Cancer Society, Inc., about 44,280 new cases of thyroid cancer are there in the US. Between 2007 and 2016, the largest increases in new cases of thyroid cancer occurred in adolescents ages 15 to 19, with an almost 4% increase in females and an almost 5% increase in males. Government is investing high for R&D activities related to cancer drugs. The regulatory bodies are approving drugs that are safe for the health.
In 2020, the FDA approved “Gavreto” (pralsetinib) drug manufacturer by F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd. The drug is for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older with advanced or metastatic rearranged during transfection (RET)-mutant medullary thyroid cancer (MTC).
In 2018, the FDA approved combination treatment by Novartis, “dabrafenib (Tafinlar) and trametinib (Mekinist)” for the treatment of BRAF V600 mutation-positive anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) that cannot be removed by surgery or is metastatic.
Major players are investing high for the development of advanced medications they are increasing number of clinical trials this is expected to impact the growth of thyroid cancer market.
In 2019, Eli Lilly and Company, drug manufacturing company, reopened the LIBRETTO-531 clinical trial [NCT04211337] for selpercatinib, also known as LOXO-292, for treatment-naïve RET-mutant medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) patients.
In 2018, Grupo Biotoscana, a specialty pharmaceutical company, launched “LENVIMA” a novel multiple receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor for treatment for refractory thyroid cancer. This is expected to help the company to enhance the business and increase the customer base.
Government of developed and developing countries is spending high in the development of present infrastructure with the focus to deliver advanced care to patients. This is expected to augment the growth of thyroid cancer market. Major players focus on enhancing the business through strategic expansion in order to enhance the customer base and increase the revenue share are factors expected to boost the growth of target market. In 2019, Eli Lilly and Company, a drug manufacturer acquired Loxo Oncology, Inc. for US$8 Bn. The acquisition helped the company to access the pipeline of investigational medicines like RET inhibitors which are used in thyroid cancer treatment. Factors such as high cost associated to R&D activities and stringent government regulations related to product approval are expected to hamper the growth of global thyroid cancer market. In addition, high cost of devices and lack of skilled professionals are factors expected to challenge the growth of target market. However, increasing investment by major players for R&D activities, increasing government spending on development of healthcare sector, and integration on AI in medical devices for more precession are factors expected to create new opportunities for players operating in the thyroid cancer market over the forecast period. In addition, increasing players focus on strategic partnership & agreements is expected to support the revenue transaction of the target market.
