Head and Neck Cancer Market to Observe Strong Development by 2026

Posted by Aman Jaiswar on June 6th, 2019

The global Head And Neck Cancer Market is driven by increase in the patient population, rise in health care infrastructure in developing economies, growth of the pharmaceutical industry, surge in research and development activity, increase in product approvals, and rise in government initiatives. An estimated 75% of head and neck cancers is caused due to consumption of alcohol and tobacco. However, high cost of treatment and high failure rate of late stage clinical trials are the major factors restraining the global market.

The global head and neck cancer market has been segmented based on drug class, distribution channel, and region. In terms of drug class, the global market has been classified into EFGR inhibitors, mitotic inhibitors, anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibodies, and others. The anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibodies segment is projected to account for major share of the market by the end of the forecast period. Increase in research and development activity in the pharmaceutical industry, development of new products, and rise in mergers & acquisitions are expected to drive the segment during the forecast period. Based on distribution channel, the global head and neck cancer market has been classified into hospital pharmacies, retail pharmacies, and e-commerce. In terms of region, the global market has been segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa.

Based on drug class, the anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibodies segment is anticipated to dominate the global head and neck cancer market. Increase in awareness, rise in demand for efficient drugs for treatment, and new product approvals are expected to propel the segment during the forecast period. For instance, in November 2016, Bristol-Myers Squibb received the FDA approval for Opdivo (nivolumab) for intravenous treatment of individuals with metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN).
