The global kidney cancer drugs market size is expected to be valued at USD 6.3 billion by 2022, registering a CAGR of 5.4% during the forecast period.

Market growth is largely driven by factors such as availability of novel drugs and presence of a strong pipeline. Growth can also be attributed to rise in incidence of renal cancer due to growing geriatric population and changes in lifestyle such as increased smoking and intake of alcohol.

In 2012, kidney cancer was the 13th most prevalent cancer worldwide, accounting for approximately 2.0% of all adult malignancies. Kidney and renal pelvis cancer make up for 3.8% of all new cancer cases in U.S. Renal cell carcinoma account for over 90.0% of kidney carcinomas. Various forms of cancer treatment methods have been implemented among the currently approved drugs, including immune modulation therapy, cytokine therapy, mTOR inhibitor, and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) inhibitor.

Further key findings from the report suggest:

    --  Increasing incidence of the disease and rising geriatric population
        globally are amongst major factors stimulating market growth
    --  Novel agents have expanded market opportunities through larger number of
        patients under treatment and better treatment prospects compared to
        traditional therapies. The notable clinical profile of immuno-oncology
        drugs is reflected their rapid uptake and expansion of indications
    --  The current treatment landscape in metastatic and advanced RCC will
        shift from TKI and mTOR inhibitors to specific immuno-oncology agents
        like immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), which have demonstrated
        positive results on PFS as monotherapy (Opdivo) or combination therapy
        (Opdivo+Yervoy)
    --  U.S. accounted for more than 35.0% of the market in 2016 due to
        increasing incidence of renal cell carcinoma and presence of key
        manufacturers in the country. On the other hand, surge in kidney cancer
        screening is a key driver in markets such as EU
    --  Emerging markets in Asia Pacific and Middle East and Africa are fueled
        by increasing expenditure on healthcare, a large untapped patient
        population base due to rise in elderly population, and improvement in
        diagnostic technologies

    --  Some of the key players operating in this market are Pfizer, Novartis,
        Bayer, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Eisai, and Exelixis.
    --  Collaborations for development, broader product portfolios, and regional
        expansion in emerging markets are key strategic undertakings of these
        companies to increase market share.
