Published by Research and Markets  Research and Markets has announced the addition of the “World Lung Cancer Therapeutics Market – Opportunities and Forecasts, 2014 – 2022” report to their offering.

The potential drivers for lung cancer therapeutic market include tobacco smoking (including passive smoke), aged population and lifestyle factors. Additionally, innovative and targeted drug delivery to lung is found to be a major driver for the growth of this market.

However, high unmet need for diagnosis, availability of large number of generic forms of major drugs and limited treatment options are the critical restrains to the global lung cancer therapeutics market. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy poses bigger challenge of adverse effect. Hence, big players in this market have to focus on innovative therapies and safer therapeutics.

The global lung cancer therapeutics market is segmented by therapy into five broad categories, namely Chemotherapy, Targeted therapy and Pipeline drugs, Surgery and Radiotherapy. NSCLC contributes for high prevalence than SCLC. Avastin by Roche was the blockbuster drug for the past few years that accounted for major percentage of the total sale.

Other top brands of therapeutics include Gemzar, Taxotere and Tarceva and used for NSCLC. For SCLC treatment, ifosfamide or etoposide is combined with platinum analog and forms standard chemotherapeutic regimen. Many a times, Radiotherapy in combination with chemotherapy, is used as better option before surgery to increase the effectiveness of the treatment. Key Challenge in successful pipeline therapy includes its integration with existing therapy or its superiority over existing therapy.

The leading companies in global lung cancer therapeutics market include Roche, Merck, AstraZeneca, Sanofi-Aventis, Eli Lilly and Company, Pfizer, and Agennix AG. Currently, Roche, Agennix AG and Pfizer are ruling the market for global lung cancer therapeutics and expected to capture half of the market share during the forecast period.

Decline in sales value of AstraZeneca was attributed to large number of generic drugs entering the market. Eli Lilly has achieved a top position next to AstraZeneca and Sanofi-Aventis due to exceptional sales performance of its key product Alimta.
