Oncology Market Assessment: Strategic Insights for Investment or Divestment | DelveInsight

The oncology therapy landscape is rapidly evolving, with immune checkpoint inhibitors reshaping cancer treatment by leveraging the body's own immune system to combat tumors. As the immune checkpoint inhibitors market grows, pharmaceutical companies must make informed decisions about investing in or divesting assets to maximize their portfolio's potential.

LAS VEGAS, March 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A global pharmaceutical company, having recently acquired a mid-cap biotech firm, sought to evaluate the market value of a newly obtained oncology asset. The drug, part of an emerging class of immune checkpoint inhibitor therapies, demonstrated promising potential in targeting multiple tumor types. To determine its commercial viability, the client needed a comprehensive market assessment to guide their strategic decision—whether to retain or divest the product.

With a proven track record in pharma market assessment, DelveInsight specializes in asset prioritization and checkpoint inhibitor CPI evaluation. Our expertise in immune checkpoint inhibitor products, competitive intelligence, and market forecasting enables pharmaceutical companies to make data-driven investment decisions. By assessing the market landscape, unmet needs, and emerging checkpoint inhibitors, we provide strategic insights that shape asset development and commercialization strategies.

The acquired asset showed potential for multiple tumor indications, a key factor in its market viability. Combination therapies have become a dominant trend in oncology, particularly in immune checkpoint inhibitor drug market strategies, as they enhance treatment efficacy across different cancer types. Identifying the most promising tumor targets and patient subgroups was essential for the client's decision-making process.

Checkpoint inhibitors, such as PD-1, PD-L1, and CTLA-4 inhibitors, have revolutionized cancer treatment, yet challenges remain in identifying biomarkers for efficacy and patient response. The immune checkpoint inhibitors market continues to expand, with new immune checkpoints like TIGIT, LAG-3, and TIM-3 gaining traction as next-generation targets. The global immune checkpoint inhibitor drugs market is forecasted to expand at a CAGR of 14.55%, reaching ~USD 107 billion by 2032. As a result, pharmaceutical companies such as AstraZeneca, Merck, Sanofi, Regeneron, GSK, EMD Serono, Jiangsu Hengrui Medicine, BeiGene, and others are placing greater emphasis on strategic asset evaluations to stay ahead in this competitive landscape.

DelveInsight's market assessment provided the client with a comprehensive evaluation of the asset's market potential, competitive positioning, and future outlook. This analysis formed the foundation for their decision on whether to invest in further development or divest the product for optimal portfolio management.
