The China lung cancer therapeutics market size is anticipated to reach USD 5.34 billion by 2030 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 13.7% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing incidence of lung cancer, growing awareness and screening initiatives, and adoption of targeted therapies in the country is projected to drive the market growth over the forecast years.
In June 2024, the FLAURA2 clinical trial investigated the efficacy of Tagrisso (osimertinib) in combination with chemotherapy compared to standard care for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), particularly focusing on a cohort of Chinese patients. The results demonstrated that this combination therapy significantly reduced the risk of disease progression or death by nearly 50%. This finding is pivotal as it indicates a substantial improvement in patient outcomes, which is anticipated to influence treatment protocols and market dynamics.
The Chinese government has recognized the growing burden of cancer and has taken significant steps to enhance funding and support for research. Initiatives from organizations such as the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) and the National Major Scientific and Technological Special Project for “Significant New Drugs Development” are aimed at fostering innovation in drug development. This governmental backing is crucial in driving advancements in therapeutics.
