The non-small cell lung cancer market has witnessed significant growth over the past few years. This type of cancer accounts for around 80-85% of all lung cancer cases. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) therapies are primarily used for treating three major types of lung cancer namely adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and large cell carcinoma. Advances in targeted therapies along with rising combination therapies have improved treatment outcomes for NSCLC patients. The immunotherapy, chemotherapy and targeted therapies are commonly used for non-small cell lung cancer treatment depending on the stage and molecular characteristics of the cancer.
The Global non-small cell lung cancer market is estimated to be valued at US$ 31394.67 Bn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 7.8% over the forecast period 2024 to 2031.
Key players operating in the non-small cell lung cancer market are AstraZeneca Plc, Boehringer Ingelheim GmbH, Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, Daiichi Sankyo, Inc., Eli Lilly and Company, Merck & Co., Inc., Otsuka Pharmaceutical Company, Ltd., Sanofi, and The Medicines Company. These players are adopting various organic and inorganic growth strategies such as new product launches, mergers & acquisitions and collaborations to strengthen their presence in the global market.
