The increasing indication of these drugs for various conditions such as AIDS-related Kaposi sarcoma, multiple myeloma, neuroblastoma, osteosarcoma, and ovarian cancer signifies the growth in demand. The technological advancements in the drugs formulations to overcome the adverse effects on health and also introduction of various types of medication delivery systems, such as coated nanoparticles, are some of the pivotal factors impelling the demand for the drug.
Liposomal doxorubicin is primarily approved for the treatment of myeloma, Kaposi sarcoma, and ovarian cancer. However, due to its wide usage in other conditions as well, breast cancer accounted for the maximum revenue. The increasing prevalence of breast cancer is leading to growing demand for chemotherapy treatment, which accounts for the majority of revenue share.
