The number of chronic diseases, especially cancer, is on the rise worldwide. Various types of cancer are becoming more common, causing a significant impact on global health. According to the World Cancer Research Fund International, cancer led to 8.8 million deaths in 2015, and it's responsible for about one in six deaths globally.
In 2016, the National Cancer Institute reported a staggering 15.5 million new cases of cancer, with a whopping USD 147.3 billion spent on cancer care in the United States alone. The numbers are expected to climb even higher, with a projected 23.6 million new cases of cancer per year in the US by 2030. Canada also faced its share, with an estimated 206,200 new cases of cancer and 80,800 deaths in 2017, as reported by the Canadian Cancer Society. The United Kingdom saw a significant percentage, with over 65.3% of total cancers occurring in adults aged 65 years in 2016, according to the Office for National Statistics. Additionally, Cancer Research UK highlighted the four most common cancers globally: lung, female breast, bowel, and prostate cancer.
This surge in cancer cases is creating a pressing need for effective drugs to treat the disease. To meet this demand, advanced drug delivery systems using PEGylation technology are gaining prominence, especially in anti-cancer therapy. PEGylation involves modifying therapeutic molecules to enhance their retention time in the body, and this is expected to drive the growth of the global PEGylated drugs market.
Understanding the impact of cancer on individuals and society, it's crucial to find ways to improve the effectiveness of cancer treatments. PEGylation technology is proving to be a game-changer in this regard, offering a more efficient method of drug delivery.
The significance of PEGylation lies in its ability to improve the retention time of therapeutic drugs in the body. This means that the drugs stay in the system longer, providing a sustained and more effective treatment for cancer. As the global prevalence of cancer continues to rise, the demand for such advanced drug delivery systems is expected to grow, making PEGylated drugs an essential player in the field of anti-cancer therapy.
Pegylated Drugs Market Size was valued at USD 7.41 Billion in 2023. The Global Pegylated Drugs industry is projected to grow from USD 8.16 Billion in 2024 to USD 17.80 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.25% during the forecast period (2024 - 2032).
PEGylated Drugs Market dynamics
Drivers
The main driving force behind the growth of the PEGylated Drugs Market are, the rising of prevalence diseases such as cancer, advancement of biologics sectors, and increasing pharmaceutical industries all across the globe. Additionally, the increasing number of chronic ailments and death rates because of cancer in Canada will provide a boost to the growth of the pegylated drugs on market.
Challenges
Although the benefits of pegylated drugs are many, but there are some backdrops available as well with it. The side effects happening because of the drugs and the drug failure will make a restraining effect against the growth of the PEGylated Proteins Market during the forecast period.
Cumulative growth
PEGylated Drugs mainly have three benefits on the body.
According to studies, the pharmacokinetic properties drastically changes in the body along with prolonging the plasma half-life; it also increases the release of drugs in the body and reduces the renal clearance rate.
A thicker hydration film forms on the surface preventing the precipitation and aggregation. The liposome stability is also increased by the modified linkage between lipid derivatives and PEG. Additionally, the flexible chain of PEG produces a hindrance effect which is steric protecting the modification from protease attack increasing the stability of the modification.
The molecular weight of the drugs increases in the body after being modified by PEG that help reducing the glomerular filtration effects during systemic administration. Therefore, it increases the excretion in the urination. Moreover, PEGylated drugs are also responsible for improving the stability in the systemic circulation and prolongs retention time which is highly beneficial in the distribution of the drugs in one's body. Particularly it helps in accumulating macromolecular drugs in inflammatory sites and tumours. Therefore, it increases the span of treatment of the drugs in vivo.
