Doxorubicin (DOX) is a generic medicine used in the process of chemotherapy for treating cancer. It is used as an injection solution or in lyophilized powder form to intravenously administer through peripherally inserted central line catheter (PICC) or central venous catheter (CVC). DOX is rapidly eliminated by enzymes and encounters hydrolytic degradation in plasma after intravenous administration. It is used to treat several types of cancer, including breast cancer, bladder cancer, Kaposi’s sarcoma, lymphoma, Wilms’ tumor, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and acute lymphocytic leukemia.
Doxorubicin Market Trends:
The increasing prevalence of cancer is primarily driving the global doxorubicin market. This has resulted in the growing use of DOX in combination with other chemotherapeutic agents to treat a variety of carcinomas. Besides this, the rising demand for minimally invasive (MI) surgical procedures and the growing geriatric population who cannot undergo significant surgeries have led to the growing preference for DOX as part of the cancer treatment therapies. Governments of different countries are also implementing initiatives to support technological advancements in clinical oncology, including intravenous free therapy and digital microfluidics for on-chip biochemical analysis. They are also increasing awareness programs for the treatment of cancer. As a result, there has been a significant increase in the demand for DOX. Furthermore, researchers are spending a considerable amount on clinical trials to develop technologically advanced DOX formulations. Moreover, the growing number of mergers and acquisitions as well as partnerships for clinical trials with advanced forms of DOX is expected to create a positive outlook for the market in the coming years.
