Pancreatic Cancer Treatment Market to Reach $1.63 billion in the US and 5EU by 2017

New Drug Launches Will Drive Rapid Growth in the US and EU Pancreatic Cancer Market from 2012-2017

Publisher estimates that the value of the pancreatic cancer market in the US and 5EU (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK) in 2012 was $529m. By 2017, the end of the forecast period, research projects pancreatic cancer sales to rise to $1.63 billion in the US and 5EU, at a high Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 25.2%. Research expects the proportion of sales from the US to increase to 72%, with market share in the 5EU decreasing to 28% by 2017. The overall rapid increase in the market size across the 6MM is attributed to the launch of Celgene's Abraxane in 2013 in the US and 2014 in Europe, and the incorporation of five pipeline agents into US clinical practice by the end of the forecast period.

Major drivers of the pancreatic cancer market in the US and 5EU during the forecast period include the following:

• The greatest driver of the pancreatic cancer market across the 6MM will be the strong and rapid adoption of premium-priced Abraxane in place of generic chemotherapy regimens, such as FOLFIRINOX (5-flourouracil [5-FU]/leucovorin/irinotecan/oxaliplatin) and gemcitabine monotherapy. GlobalData forecasts particularly strong growth in the US, the largest market for pancreatic cancer therapeutics, and the market where Abraxane is priced the highest.
• Of the five new pipeline agents that will be launched during the forecast period, NewLink Genetics Corporation's algenpantucel-L is expected to garner the highest sales, and is expected to launch in both the resectable and unresectable locally-advanced settings. Other drugs with significant forecast sales by 2017 include Threshold Pharmaceuticals/Merck's TH-302, and Merrimack Pharmaceuticals' MM-398.
• The incidence of pancreatic cancer is increasing across the 6MM, resulting in further treatment opportunities for premium-priced therapeutics.
