Increasing Prevalence Of Cancer And Rise In Demand From The Asia Pacific Region Will Drive The Overall Immunotherapy Drugs Market
Immunotherapy is the management of a disease by
enhancing, suppressing, or inducing an immune response. Some
immunotherapies are designed to magnify or elicit an immune response.
They are known as activation immunotherapies. However, some
immunotherapies that suppress or reduce the immune response are known
as suppression immunotherapies. Cell-based immunotherapies are useful
for some types of cancers. Immune effector cells
includingmacrophages, dendritic cells, lymphocytes, cytotoxic T
lymphocytes (CTL), natural killer cells (NK Cell), etc., work
collectively to protect the body against cancer by aiming at abnormal
antigens articulated on the facade of the tumor cells.Therapies
including granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), imiquimod,
interferons as well as parts of cellular membrane from bacteria are
approved for medical use. Some of the others such as IL-7, IL-2,
IL-12, synthetic cytosine phosphate-guanosine (CpG)
oligodeoxynucleotides and glucans anda variety of chemokines are
involved in preclinical and clinical studies.
An increase in the prevalence of cancer and a
number of autoimmune diseases, the demand for immunotherapy drugs is
likely to increase. Moreover, with the rising need for mAbs, the
immunotherapy drugs market is anticipated to have a positive outlook
till the end of the forecast period 2016-2024. MAbs have a high
affinity towards the specific disease cells as well as areas that
require treatment. Accordingly, they can be utilized for therapies
such asantibody-directed enzyme prodrug therapy and radio
immunotherapy. The increaseduse of these antibodies in the drug
development processis likely toaid to boost the market’s revenue
making capacity over the forecast period.
Another important factor driving the growth
prospects ofthe global immunotherapy drugs market is the
materialization of biosimilars. Dissimilarto generic drugs that have
active pharmaceutical ingredients alikeoriginal drugs, biosimilars
are nearly identical to their creator biologic compounds. In view of
the fact that biosimilars are less expensive and aid to make
managementof diseases more reachable for the patients than biologics,
the sale of biosimilars among the patients and hospitals alike is
likely to riseconsiderably during the forecast period thereby
augmenting the overall growth of the immunotherapy drugs market.

According
to National Cancer Institute, around 1,685,210 new cases of cancer
are likely to be diagnosed in the U.S. in 2016 and about 595,690
people are estimated to die from the disease. Since immunotherapy is
used as a first line of treatment in the management of cancer, the
market immunotherapy drugs market will grow accordingly. North
America is the largest region in the global immunotherapy drugs
market and is expected to retain its dominance over the forecast
period. Asia Pacific is likely to be the fastest-growing marketover
the forecast period. The elevated growth of this region can mainly be
attributed to low cost of manufacturing of these drugs in the region,
rising occurrence of cancer and favorable regulatory framework in
this region.
