Immuno Oncology Treatment Market Overview
Immuno-oncology treatment is a specialized type of targeted therapy that involves the stimulation of body’s own immune system in order to generate a response against the target cancer cells. The administration of certain drugs is required to initiate such responses from the body. Immuno-oncology therapy ensures that the immune cells detect and destroy only the cancerous cells and not the healthy cells of the body. This therapy is an emerging treatment method as it can be used in place of chemotherapy and radiotherapy so as to prevent their side-effects including lower recover rate and deteriorating quality of life in patients. The market for immune-oncology treatment is projected to grow by a CAGR of 12.68% during the forecast period, i.e., 2020-2027. Moreover, the market is anticipated to attain a value of USD 157,230.48 million by the year 2027. CLICK TO DOWNLOAD SAMPLE REPORT

Market Drivers and Challenges
Growth Indicators
Cancer is the second leading cause of death globally. According to the World Health Organization, the global cancer burden is estimated to have risen to 18.1 million new cases and 9.6 million deaths in 2018. Further, the 5-year prevalence, or the number of people who are alive during the first 5 years of cancer diagnosis, is estimated to be 43.8 million globally. The rising cases of cancer is the major factor anticipated to support the market growth in the coming years. The growing incidence of this disorder can be attributed to ageing global population as well as increasing exposure to various cancer risk factors. Further, WHO estimates that cancer causing infections, such as hepatitis and human papilloma virus (HPV), are responsible for up to 25% of cancer cases in low- and middle-income countries. The growing healthcare expenditure and technological advancements in the healthcare industry are some other factors anticipated to result in a significant growth of immune-oncology treatment market.
Barriers
There are some aspects which are anticipated to restrict the market growth over the forecast period. The limited access to advanced healthcare is a major barrier for the immuno-oncology treatment market. The development and approval of cancer therapies is a lengthy procedure which requires large investments. Moreover, the cancer patients residing in low- and middle-income countries have limited access to treatments and services, which results in a disproportionate increase in cancer mortality.
Competitive Landscape
Some of the affluent industry leaders in the global immuno-oncology treatment market are F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd, Merck & Company, Inc., AstraZeneca Plc., Novartis, Amgen Inc., Pfizer Inc., Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, Eli Lilly and Company, Janssen and GlaxoSmithKline plc. Moreover, other key and niche players are working towards the expansion of product portfolio along with investing in high quality R&D to develop highly engineered and innovative technologies for immune-oncology therapy for cancer in order to gain competitive edge in the global immune-oncology treatment market.
