Glioblastoma Multiforme Treatment Market To Reach $7.87 Billion By 2033

Glioblastoma Multiforme Treatment Market Growth & Trends 

The global glioblastoma multiforme treatment market size is estimated to reach USD 7.87 billion by 2033, registering a CAGR of 8.68% from 2025 to 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is driven by the rising prevalence of the disease and increasing approval for novel therapy and combination therapy.

In recent years, the industry has been growing rapidly owing to the introduction of innovative products and rising interest of major pharmaceutical companies in the market due to favorable guidelines and rising incidence of the disease. For instance, companies such as Bristol Myers Squibb; CNS Pharmaceuticals, Inc.; and Bayer have novel products in the pipeline for glioblastoma multiforme. These products are likely to boost competitive rivalry in the market in the coming years.

Moreover, companies are collaborating to develop novel treatments. For instance, in October 2019, Advaxis, Inc., a clinical-stage biotechnology company, announced a research collaboration agreement with the University of California for the development and commercialization of novel immunotherapy by using the company’s Lm Technology in mouse tumor models of glioblastoma multiforme. An increase in collaborations between researchers and market players is expected to boost the development of novel and effective treatment options for glioblastoma multiforme.

Existing companies are willing to acquire new companies with pipeline products to diversify their product portfolio. For instance, in May 2019, Merck announced the upfront USD 1.1 billion acquisition of Peloton Therapeutics, which grants it access to the PT2977 under trial glioblastoma drug. This acquisition is likely to strengthen its pipeline and improve its future revenue-generation ability.

Various initiatives undertaken by the governments and non-government bodies across the globe to increase awareness by educating people living with glioblastoma multiforme and raising funds for R&D activities and treatment are expected to fuel the glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) treatment market growth during the forecast period. For instance, Ping Mobile, a mobile messaging platform, has launched a mobile campaign to increase awareness about brain cancer. This helps in raising awareness about glioblastoma multiforme and motivating people to donate money for glioblastoma multiforme research activities.

Organizations such as the National Brain Tumor Society, Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada, and Cure Brain Cancer Foundation are also involved in many awareness campaigns to raise awareness among people about the condition. In the U.K., March is Brain Tumor Awareness month, a campaign established by member charities of Brain Tumor Research. The main aim of the campaign is to spread awareness about the lack of funding for brain tumor research, and it helps people understand brain tumors and their treatment. Moreover, Novocure undertook many activities to spread awareness about glioblastoma multiforme during Brain Tumor Awareness Month.
