Oncolytic Virotherapy Market Trends




  • Rising prevalence of cancer is driving the market growth




Growing numbers of rare cancers, the need to treat them, the need for powerful and effective treatments, the aging population, and many more elements are the impetus for the oncolytic virotherapy market. The World Health Organization (WHO) has cancer listed as one of the leading causes of death, and death statistics for 2020 indicate ten million cancer deaths. Cancer is the greatest cause of death all around the world. The primary reason lies in the GLOBOCAN 2020 database, which estimates that there will be a rise in global cancer incidence. 350,000 new cases daily, of which 45,000 get the status of COVID-19. In the year 2021, up to 2 million Cancer patients are going to be documented.

Many databases were set up that highlighted the possible benefits of gene therapies over a more refined method of cancer treatment, like the monoclonal antibodies. The nanoparticles, with their capabilities for strong selectivity, affinity, and stability, as well as offer further specific targets. Due to this, gene therapies in cancer management have been promoted by their application. As a result, oncolytic virotherapy is being propelled by the rising cancer burden and acts as a main growth-driving factor in the expansion of the market.


Moreover, the FDA states that there has been a drastic rise in the number of IND submittals once oncolytic virotherapy products transition from preclinical research. The officials display optimism in the next few years on the wide use of oncolytic virotherapy in the treatment of cancer. This indicates a notable advancement in science and the potential for these innovative treatments to treat patients. The FDA now has over 800 active INDs for directly administered or cell-based gene therapy on file with the agency as of January 2019. By 2021, the FDA is expected to receive over 200 INDs annually.

Furthermore, the FDA projects that by 2025, 10 to 20 gene treatments will be approved annually based on an assessment of the present pipeline and the clinical success rates of these medications. With the perspective of the oncolytic virotherapy marketplace becoming solid, it is soon to assume that companies have tons of opportunities. For the past several years, a growth in both cancer incidents and cancer-related healthcare spending has been observed.


In addition, a significant period of time and effort has been put into the development of various therapies in immunotherapy, immune oncology, and other methods of cancer treatment. There are a couple that are becoming more popular: stem cell treatment, adoptive cell treatment, and oncolytic virus therapy. The use of drugs and other medications causes side effects, pharmaceutical resistance, and off-target effects that ultimately limit the efficacy of numerous therapeutic alternatives.

Therefore, scientists are looking for new pathway-specific or signaling-specific therapies that are potent against the cancer cells without damaging the healthy cells. Oncolytic virotherapy has been the focus of the scientific community as one of the candidates for improving cancer treatment in the future, driving the market CAGR. Oncolytic virotherapy has shown great promise and possibilities for improving cancer treatment in the future. Using oncolytic virotherapy would surely offer an essential means of survival. Thus, driving the oncolytic virotherapy market revenue.
