The global oncology drugs market is experiencing a shift in therapeutic modalities i.e. from traditional cytotoxic agents to newly develop targeted and immunotherapeutic modalities. Tumor cell specificity, an attribute of aforementioned modality, has reduced drug remission rates and has rendered an enhanced rate of survival in cancer patients thus, complementing the market growth. However, chemotherapeutic modalities would continue to be the leading therapeutic modality segment owing to its higher adoption rate and economic pricing. Going forward, the demand for the chemotherapy modality might confront a negative influence due to marginal efficacy and chronic side effects such as anemia.

Geographically, the developed economies such as North America and Europe collectively accounted for ~65% of market share in 2014, due to higher adoption rates and advanced hospital settings.
