Colorectal Cancer Market Overview

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common types of cancer, affecting the colon or rectum. The risk of this cancer increases with age, with the incidence rate growing sharply for people over 50 years of age. Colorectal cancer ranks as the second leading  cause of cancer-related deaths as it is often diagnosed when the cancer has reached advanced stages, making the treatment options limited for the patient. Increased public health campaigns and awareness programs are leading to rising early diagnosis rates, which is expected to positively impact the colorectal cancer market growth. Further, the increasing preference for multi-modality treatments and targeted drug therapies is likely to influence the market dynamics. Moreover, the growth in funding for colorectal cancer research is poised to aid the market expansion in the forecast period.

Key Findings 

  • The rate of new cases of colorectal cancer is estimated to be 36.5 for every 100,000 men  and women annually. Further, the lifetime risk of developing the disease is reported to be nearly 1 in 23 cases for men and 1 in 25  cases for women. The increasing burden of colorectal cancer is a major market driver.
  • In June 2024 , Bristol Myers Squibb’s combination treatment, which includes the oral drug Krazati and cetuximab, was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of colorectal cancer with a specific gene mutation. The rise in drug approvals by the regulatory bodies is expected to elevate the market value in the forecast period.
  • The expanding pipeline of new therapeutic drugs and the growing emphasis on the development of combination treatments are significant trends that are poised to shape the market landscape.

Colorectal Cancer Market Demand Drivers

The increasing number of colorectal cancer cases is one of the primary factors that is propelling the demand for effective treatment options. Recent data suggests that new cases of colorectal cancer will be around 152,810 in  the United States in 2024, accounting for 7.6% of all new cancer cases. Further, the estimated number of deaths caused by colorectal cancer in 2024 is reported to be 53,010, which is 8.7% of all cancer deaths. The substantial incidence of colorectal cancer is set to impact the market demand. Moreover, the growing elderly population which has a higher risk of developing the disease, is also contributing to increased demand for colorectal cancer diagnostics and treatments.

Colorectal Cancer Market Segmentation Analysis

The Treatment Type Segment is Poised to Witness Significant Growth in the Forecast Period

Based on the treatment type, the market segmentation includes chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, targeted drug therapy, and others. The market is witnessing a steady development of various immunotherapies and targeted drug therapies, which is likely to improve clinical outcomes and survival rates of colorectal cancer patients. Immunotherapy including drugs like nivolumab (immune checkpoint inhibitor) and pembrolizumab (a PD-1 Inhibitor) is increasingly used in cases where the cancer is microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) or mismatch repair-deficient (dMMR), which is anticipated to boost the growth of the segment.
