Technavio recognizes the following companies as the key players in the global castration-resistant prostate cancer treatment market: Astellas Pharma, Johnson & Johnson, Sanofi, and Valeant.

Other Prominent Vendors in the market are: Active Biotech, Advaxis, ANI Pharmaceuticals, Athenex, Bavarian Nordic, Bayer, Bristol-Myers Squibb, CureVac, GlaxoSmithKline, Innocrin Pharmaceutical, Merck, Myovant Sciences, Northwest Biotherapeutics, OncoGenex Pharmaceuticals, Oncolytics Biotech, Orion, Sotio, Madrigal Pharmaceuticals), Takeda Pharmaceutical, and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries.

Commenting on the report, an analyst from Technavio’s team said: “One trend in the market is increasing consolidation in cancer treatment market. The oncology drugs industry has seen significant R&D and funding, which are largely responsible for the increasing consolidation of the industry. The rising trend of movement of cancer treatment from clinics to hospitals signifies the growing importance of strategic alliances and acquisition among the vendors.”

According to the report, one driver in the market is physician’s preference toward hormonal therapy. The abnormal growth in testosterone level characterizes prostate cancer. Therefore, hormone therapies, which control the secretion of this hormone and help reduce the growth of prostate cancer cells, remain the most sought-after therapy for treating CRPC. The proven efficacious profiles of these therapies with established clinical credentials have led to increased adoption among physicians. Hormonal therapies dominate the global CRPC treatment market and are expected to continue with the same during the forecast period.

Further, the report states that one challenge in the market is high cost of treatment. The high cost of treatment is a major problem for the CRPC patients across the globe. Many of the treatment options available for the individuals are out of their budget and ultimately forces the individual or the payer to skip the treatment. Virtual monopoly among the drug manufacturers and the high cost of R&D are some of the major factors for the high cost of CRPC treatment. A large proportion of population either skip the treatment or leave it in the middle.
