For instance, in February 2023, Gilead Sciences, Inc. received the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for Trodelvy to treat adult patients with inoperable locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer. This approval anticipates enhancing the available treatment choices and likely leads to improved outcomes for patients suffering from breast cancer.

Increasing Prevalence of Metastatic Breast Cancer Globally

The global burden of metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is rising, driven by increasing incidence rates and extended life expectancy. According to the World Health Organization, breast cancer remains the most common cancer among women globally, with a notable portion eventually progressing to the metastatic stage. Improved screening and diagnostic technologies have increased early detection, yet many cases remain undetected until advanced stages, especially in low-resource settings. Additionally, the growing aging population contributes to higher MBC prevalence since age is a significant risk factor. These trends are propelling the demand for effective MBC therapeutics that extend survival and enhance quality of life. Consequently, pharmaceutical companies are boosting R&D efforts to address this unmet need, driving market growth. For instance, in April 2024, Eli Lilly and Company announced plans to expand its breast cancer research program, focusing on metastatic subtypes following a global rise in advanced-stage cases.

Advancements in Biologic Targeted Therapies

The development of biologic targeted therapies has significantly transformed the treatment landscape for metastatic breast cancer. These therapies, designed to target specific genetic markers such as HER2 or hormone receptors, have demonstrated improved efficacy and reduced toxicity compared to traditional chemotherapies. Monoclonal antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates, and small-molecule inhibitors have gained prominence due to their precision in targeting cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue. Biologics not only improve progression-free survival but also open pathways for combination therapies with immunotherapy or hormone therapy. The high success rate in clinical trials and growing approvals from regulatory bodies are accelerating patient access. This trend is expected to boost the global MBC therapeutics market in the coming years. For instance, in October 2023, AstraZeneca plc and Daiichi Sankyo, Inc.’s Enhertu received FDA approval for treating HER2-low metastatic breast cancer, following strong results in the DESTINY-Breast04 trial.

Segmental Growth Driven by Hormone Therapy Adoption

Hormone therapy is a key segment in metastatic breast cancer therapeutics, especially for patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) tumors, which constitute a significant share of MBC cases. This therapy works by blocking or lowering estrogen levels to slow down cancer growth. The widespread use of selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), aromatase inhibitors, and estrogen receptor degraders has led to improved disease control with fewer side effects compared to chemotherapy. Additionally, hormone therapies are frequently used as first-line treatments, delaying the need for more aggressive interventions. Recent innovations such as oral SERDs (Selective Estrogen Receptor Degraders) are gaining regulatory attention, further expanding this segment. For instance, in January, 2023, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved elacestrant (Orserdu, Stemline Therapeutics, Inc.) for use in postmenopausal women and adult men diagnosed with ER-positive, HER2-negative, ESR1-mutated advanced or metastatic breast cancer who have experienced disease progression after at least one line of endocrine therapy. Additionally, the FDA approved the Guardant360 CDx assay as a companion diagnostic tool to help identify breast cancer patients eligible for treatment with elacestrant.

North America Maintains Market Leadership

North America holds the largest share in the metastatic breast cancer therapeutics market, primarily due to the region’s well-established healthcare infrastructure, higher awareness levels, and extensive R&D activities. The United States accounts for a significant portion, driven by favorable reimbursement policies, availability of advanced diagnostics, and a strong presence of key pharmaceutical players. Furthermore, government and private sector investments in cancer research and clinical trials have spurred innovation and early market entry for new therapies. The higher prevalence of lifestyle-related risk factors, such as obesity and delayed childbearing, also contributes to the rising incidence, thereby increasing treatment demand. For instance, in November 2023, Truqap (capivasertib) plus Faslodex was approved in the U.S. for patients to cure advanced HR-positive breast cancer.
