China Cancer Drugs Market is expected to be US$ 30 Billion by the year 2024
by Renub Research Renub Research is a Market Research and ConsultingIn China, cancer is a
major public health concern. Several factors are responsible for the increasing
prevalence of cancer in China such as extensive use of tobacco, unhealthy
lifestyle and rising geriatric population. Almost one-third of the world’s lung
cancer and nearly half of the liver, stomach and esophageal cases of cancer
occur in China. China Cancer Drugs Market is expected to be US$ 30 Billion by the year 2024.
Cancer drugs act at
various levels – cancer cells, extracellular matrix, endothelium, host cells or
immune system. The cancerous cell can be targeted at the DNA, RNA or protein level. Most available chemotherapy drugs interact with
tumor DNA while targeted drugs (monoclonal antibodies) and small molecules
directed against proteins. With increasing incidence of cancer cases in China,
rising per capita income in the region, growing awareness regarding cancer
coupled with improving healthcare infrastructure and reimbursement on cancer
drugs, it is believed that China Cancer Drugs Market will certainly touch new
leap in the forthcoming years.
The decision of using a
cancer drug depends on several factors, including the type of cancer and the
location of the cancer and its stage. Generally cancer drugs are administered
intravenously; however, some cancer medicines can also be taken orally and
others can be administered intramuscularly or intrathecally (within the spinal
cord). The treatment of cancer is very intricate, the cancer drugs used to
treat cancer cell, sometimes target normal cells, though cells that have undergone
genetic changes and are dividing at a fast and uncontrolled rate. Apparently,
there are certain anticancer drugs which can differentiate between healthy
cells and the cancer cells.
With the advancement in
medicinal technology, in the early 21st century, the identification of
molecular features unique to cancer cells stimulated the evolution of targeted
cancer therapies, which possess a pretty high degree of specificity for cancer
cells. Today, across the globe, targeted therapy for cancer treatment is
gaining popularity because targeted therapy are designed to block the growth
and spread of cancer by interfering with a specific biochemical pathway central
to the development, growth, and spread of that particular cancer unlike
chemotherapy that act on all rapidly dividing normal and cancerous cells.

Chinese
biopharmaceuticals industry is witnessing a rapid transformation as the
government focuses on an innovation-driven economic by 2020. In the last two decades, China has invested a
total of 18% of the world’s
spending on Research and Development (R&D) across all sectors. Healthcare sector has a specific precedence,
as the Chinese government facing dual challenges of improving the health of the
population and maintaining the growth of the biopharmaceutical industry.
Recently, the Chinese government has stepped up its efforts in reducing the
cost of cancer drugs and has eliminated import tariffs on almost all cancer
drugs, so that the Chinese patients need not have to give up their treatment.
These recent developments will certainly drive China Cancer Drugs Market in
near future.
