Report Overview

The global melanoma therapeutics market size was estimated at USD 5.08 billion in 2022 and is estimated to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.3% from 2023 to 2030. The increasing occurrence of melanoma and other skin cancers is projected to boost the need for anticancer agents. As per the Skin Cancer Foundation, around 97,610 (about 58,120 in men and 39,490 in women) cases of invasive melanoma are expected to be diagnosed in the U.S. in 2023. Melanoma or skin cancer cases are rising rapidly due to the upsurge in skin ailments, allergies, climate change, and excessive exposure to ultraviolet rays.

U.S. Melanoma Therapeutics Market size and growth rate, 2023 - 2030

As per the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the depletion of the ozone layer will increase the number of UV rays reaching the earth, which plays a major role in the development of melanoma, causing skin cancer. This will fuel the demand for melanoma therapeutics. The rise in novel technologies and treatments has led to the evolution of melanoma therapies. Early-stage detection treatments with minimum possible side effects are expected to drive the growth. A combination of therapies progresses the survival benefits, and increasing public awareness leads to the upgradation of strategies and increased demand. As per the American Cancer Society, the risk for melanoma increases with age and might affect people over 60 years of age.

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the market growth. The global focus on managing COVID-19 cases strained healthcare systems, diverting resources from conditions like melanoma and causing disruptions in routine screenings, leading to delayed diagnoses and treatment plan cancellations. Social distancing measures and lockdowns further hindered patient access to healthcare facilities, posing challenges in receiving timely care. These factors indirectly affected the market growth by imposing financial constraints on research, development, and investment in new melanoma treatments.

The demand is expected to increase due to rapid technological advancements, the necessity for innovative therapies, growing R&D efforts, increased funding from both public & private sectors, and the production of cost-effective drugs. For instance, the University of Copenhagen, along with its research team, has successfully treated invasive growth in skin cancer by using synthetic human skin. Improving healthcare infrastructure, growing population, quality services, need for cost-effective treatments, and the expiration of patents of key brands are expected to offer growth opportunities in the market.

Product Insights

The immunotherapy segment accounted for the largest market share of 55.9% in 2022. The market is experiencing growth propelled by advancements in healthcare infrastructure and diagnostics, particularly in immunotherapy. Immunotherapy is crucial in enhancing the individual's immune system to combat and eliminate cancer cells effectively. As per the American Cancer Society, immunotherapy helps improve the person’s immune system to help fight cancer cells more effectively and destroy them. It also helps treat melanoma conditions that can't be removed through surgery, spreading rapidly to all body parts and minimizing the risk of regeneration of cancer cells.

Global Melanoma Therapeutics Market share and size, 2022

The data from the national clinical trial shows that about 89% of patients with desmoplastic melanoma responded positively after undergoing immunotherapy, reducing the risk of toxicity. The targeted therapy segment is expected to witness the fastest CAGR of 11.9% during the forecast period. The progress in genomics has resulted in the creation of targeted cancer therapies, which offer treatment options for patients who may not respond to traditional intensive cytotoxic chemotherapy. Product development strategies are increasingly gaining favor in the market. For instance, Pluvicto was introduced in March 2022 by Novartis AG, a global pharmaceutical company for individuals diagnosed with mCRPC; Pluvicto is the first Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved, targeted radioligand therapy (RLT).

Drug Type Insights

The branded drugs segment accounted for the largest market share of 91.3% in 2022. The dominance of the market is attributed to the substantial patient base and increased utilization of biologics. The branded drugs segment is expected to experience growth due to rapid technological advancements. For instance, in February 2023, the FDA approved Bristol Myer’s license application for nivolumab (opdivo) to treat IIB or IIC stage melanoma.

The generic drug segment is expected to witness the fastest CAGR of 10.3% from 2023 to 2030. Generic drugs are cost-effective, easy to develop, and receive approval in less time than biologics, which is expected to fuel the segment growth over the forecast period. There is a strong emerging pipeline of melanoma drugs. Many of these drugs are under clinical trials. As per the National Cancer Institute (NCI), desmoplastic melanoma can be treated with a single immunotherapy drug Keytruda, avoiding the combination of therapies and side effects, according to the Phase II clinical trials.

Regional Insights

North America dominated the market and accounted for the largest share of 39.9% in 2022. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), melanoma cases are rapidly rising in the U.S. In addition, according to the American Cancer Society, it is estimated that around 3 million people are diagnosed with melanoma every year and this number will exceed all other cancer cases, which is about 1.9 million. In 2023, it is estimated that around 97,000 individuals might be diagnosed with invasive melanoma and 89000 with melanoma.

Melanoma Therapeutics Market Trends by Region, 2023 - 2030

These factors are expected to drive the market growth. Asia Pacific is projected to grow at the fastest CAGR of 11.6% during the forecast period. A constant rise in the incidence of skin cancer combined with an increasing number of government initiatives is likely to fuel regional market growth. National Cancer Grid, an initiative by the government of India, has established a new center for digital oncology to improve cancer treatment using digital technologies.

Key Companies & Market Share Insights

The market is witnessing substantial growth with new product developments, partnerships, and technological development. For instance, in December 2022, Moderna, Inc., a biotechnological company, announced the personalized mRNA cancer vaccine, in combination with Merck’s Keytruda, which has proven to be useful in reducing the risk of death by 44% in stage 3 & 4 melanoma patients, with low risk of recurrence.
