Taxane Market Definition
The taxanes or taxoids are a closely related group of antineoplastic agents that have a unique mechanism of action as mitosis inhibitors and are widely used in the therapy of ovarian, breast, lung, esophageal, prostate, bladder and head and neck cancers. Three taxanes are in clinical use, paclitaxel (Taxol: 1992), docetaxel (Taxotere: 1996) and cabazitaxel (Jevtana: 2010). Taxanes are anticancer drugs that interfere with microtubule function, causing changes in mitosis and cellular death. Paclitaxel (Taxol) was first isolated from a yew tree, a small evergreen coniferous tree with a slow growth rate. As paclitaxel was initially scarce, docetaxel (Taxotere), a semisynthetic analogue of paclitaxel derived from the needles of the European yew tree Taxus baccata, was created. Docetaxel differs from paclitaxel in two chemical locations, making it more water soluble. Cabazitaxel is also a semisynthetic analogue of natural taxoids and was developed for its lack of affinity for P-glycoprotein, a common mediator of docetaxel resistance.
Furthermore, increasing use of taxane drugs due to rising prevalence of chronic diseases, surging prevalence of cancer, and increasing investment for healthcare infrastructure. These factors increase in the demand for taxane market has encouraged the key market players to implement newer technologies and strategies through product launches, acquisition, strategies and agreements.
Taxane Market Dynamics
Drivers
- The rise in incidence of cancer
Cancer has a major impact on society in the United States and worldwide. Cancer statistics describe what happens in large groups of people and provide a picture in time of the burden of cancer on society. Taxol, an antimitotic agent, used to treat cancer, blocks cancer cell growth by stopping cell division, resulting in cell death.
According to National Cancer Institute (NCI), a funded clinical trial found that 30 percent of patients with advanced ovarian cancer responded positively to taxane treatment. In clinical practice, the taxane is now standard therapy in metastatic breast cancer. Today, taxol is on the World Health Organization's Model List of Essential Medicines, a cytotoxic drug that kills cancer cells. It treats breast cancer, ovarian cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, and AIDS-related Kaposi sarcoma.
- The funding by the government and investment in research and development
Despite the established effectiveness of pharmacotherapies for treating opioid use and alcohol disorders, limitations to the implementation of taxane by specialty treatment programs have been observed. Certain attention needs to be paid to specific sources for funding, organizational structure, and workforce resources, making a long-term investment that aligns the payment with the potential future beneficiaries. The issues around sustainability, productivity, and patient impact of drug development have never been and will not simply be a product of industry.
The funding by the government would result in the patient's safety, cost-savings. In addition, hospitals and healthcare agencies would administer this treatment at a lower price through collaboration with government organizations. Hence the advancements in research and development activities and funding by the government are expected to drive the market growth.
Restraint
-
Side effects of drugs incurred with the taxane drugs
Taxanes belong to a class of diterpenes. Taxane drugs (paclitaxel and docetaxel) are used as chemotherapeutic agents. Due to ongoing clinical trials, research studies, type of cancer, type of treatment plan, and drug dosage, the present high cost is expected to show a descending trend in the future. Taxane drugs are most effective for treating breast and prostate cancer. However, certain side effects have been reported. The adverse complications or side effects reported would lead to a decline in sales of the taxane drugs, which would limit the sales of the drugs. In addition, it would affect the reliability of manufacturers involved in this market and hence be expected to restrain the market growth.
Opportunity
-
Strategic initiative by market players
The demand for taxane market has increased in the U.S. and Europe owing to the timely treatment of alcohol and opioid disorders. These favorable factors enhance the need for taxane, and to achieve the market demand, minor and major market players are utilizing various strategies.
The major players are also trying to devise specific strategies, such as product launches, acquisitions, approvals, expansions, and partnerships, to ensure the smooth running of the business, avoid risks, and increase the long-term growth in the sales of the market.
These strategic initiatives by the market players, including acquisition, conferences, and focused segment product launches, are helping the companies grow and improve the company's product portfolios, ultimately leading to more revenue generation. Hence, these strategic initiatives by the market players provide an opportunity to help in future growth and drive market growth.
Challenge
- The lack of skilled professionals required for taxane drug treatment
The lack or shortage of skilled expertise would challenge the pace of recovery and growth in one place. Often the unemployed people in one place have skills that are in short supply elsewhere. Moreover, rapid technological advancement in this field also leads to a lack of expertise.
Physician supply is a term used to describe the number of trained physicians working in a healthcare system or labor market. It is dependent on the number of graduates and the retention rates of the profession. The physician shortage is a growing concern in many countries around the world.
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated a global shortage of 4.3 million physicians, nurses, and other health professionals. Despite the strong evidence for the effectiveness of drugs in reducing morbidity and mortality, increasing treatment retention, and improving well-being for individuals with taxane, numerous barriers prevent broader access to taxane drug-based treatment.
Moreover, technological advancement is another aspect that leads to the increased demand for skilled professionals. Neurologists report significant unmet supportive care needs and barriers in their centers, with only a small minority rating themselves as competently providing supportive care. There is an urgent need for the education of professionals for the treatment of dementia and procuring available supportive care resources. Lack of trained and experienced professionals and persistent skill gaps limit the employability prospects and access to quality jobs. Therefore, it is apparent that the availability of professionals with adequate skills is challenging the market growth.
Post COVID-19 Impact on Taxane Market
COVID-19 has resulted in a substantial increase in demand for medical supplies from healthcare professionals and the general public for precautionary measures. Manufacturers of these items have an opportunity to take advantage of the increased demand for medical supplies by ensuring a steady supply of personal protective equipment on the market. COVID-19 is anticipated to have a big impact on the taxane market.
Recent Developments
- In November 2022, Viatris Inc. and Biocon Biologics Ltd. announced the U.S. launch of interchangeable biosimilars SEMGLEE (insulin glargine-yfgn) injection, a branded product, and Insulin Glargine (insulin glargine-yfgn) injection, an unbranded product, to help control high blood sugar in adult and pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes and adults with type 2 diabetes. Both biosimilar products are available in vial and prefilled pen presentations and are interchangeable for the reference brand, LANTUS (insulin glargine), allowing for substitution at the pharmacy counter. Viatris is committed to improving patient access to sustainable, quality and more affordable healthcare. This has helped the company to grow their product portfolio.
- In May 2022, Sandoz, a global leader in generic and biosimilar medicines, announced the U.S. launch of its generic pirfenidone, the first AB-rated (fully substitutable) equivalent to Genentech’s Esbriet, to treat patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). This prescription oral medicine is immediately available to patients via specialty pharmacies, with a $0 co-pay program for eligible patients. Sandoz is putting patients first by expanding access to generic pirfenidone for those with this rare disease, who will benefit from a more affordable, yet equally effective treatment. This has helped the company to grow its market position and business.
