Global Melanoma Drug Forecast and Market Analysis to 2029 - Featuring Amgen, Bayer and Bristol Myers Squibb Among Others - ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Melanoma - Global Drug Forecast and Market Analysis to 2029" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Melanoma of the skin is a serious and aggressive form of cancer originating from melanocytes, the pigment cells in skin, and can develop anywhere on the body. Although melanoma has high survivability, it remains a significant health risk around the world. Where possible, melanoma is treated with surgery, with stage III patients likely to receive adjuvant therapy with either PD-1 inhibitors; BMS' Opdivo or Merck & Co's Keytruda or, if BRAF V600-positive, Novartis' BRAF/MEK inhibitor combination Tafinlar + Mekinist. Metastatic melanoma is treated with systemic therapy with either PD-1 monotherapy (Opdivo or Keytruda) or BMS' combination therapy of Opdivo + CTLA-4 inhibitor Yervoy. BRAF V600-positive patients also have the option of receiving targeted therapy.

The global market is expected to grow from $5.6B in 2019 to $7.46B in 2029 at a CAGR of 2.9%. The introduction of 12 new pipeline agents as well as label expansions of currently approved agents are key drivers of this market growth. However, multiple patent expiries of market-leading brands, occurring across the 8MM, will prohibit growth.

Key Highlights

• The main drivers of growth include the anticipated approval and launch of 12 pipeline therapies, in addition to label expansions of currently marketed therapies across the 8MM during the forecast period.
• The main barriers to growth in the 8MM are key patent expiries of immune checkpoint inhibitors and targeted BRAF/MEK inhibitors
• Among the late-stage pipeline products and marketed agents, immune checkpoint inhibitors are expected to generate the greatest revenues over the forecast period.
• The most important unmet needs in the melanoma market include: wider therapeutic options for patients who progress on immune checkpoint inhibitors, effective treatment for patients with brain metastases, biomarkers to guide treatment decisions, and wider options for patients with acquired resistance to targeted therapy.
