The global gastric cancer drugs market size reached US$ 4.11 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 8.93 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 12.9% during 2023-2028. The rising prevalence of chronic and acute indications, growing incidences of weight-related health concerns, and increasing health consciousness represent some of the key factors driving the market.

Gastric cancer drugs are medications developed to relieve or treat an individual diagnosed with stomach cancer in which malignant cells form in the lining of the stomach. Some common symptoms of gastric cancer are unexplained weight loss, indigestion, bloating, nausea, vomiting, heartburn, and difficulty swallowing food. Doxorubicin hydrochloride, sunitinib, mitomycin, fluorouracil, imatinib, and docetaxel are commonly available gastric cancer drugs. They help to shrink a tumor and relieve signs and symptoms of cancer by killing some of the cancer cells. They also assist in reducing cancer cells from growing, dividing, and making more cells. As a result, gastric cancer drugs are administered through oral and parenteral forms and are used by hospitals, clinics, and special treatment centers.

The increasing geriatric population and the rising prevalence of obesity across the globe are primarily driving the market growth. In line with this, the growing incidences of weight-related health concerns due to unhealthy eating habits and sedentary lifestyles are favoring the market growth. Moreover, the increasing cases of cancer, due to the rising consumption of tobacco-based products and alcoholic beverages, and the enhanced need need for preventive and therapeutic medications are acting as another growth-inducing factor. Apart from this, the introduction of two gastric cancer biomarkers that help in eliminating tumor growth is providing an impetus to the market growth. Moreover, manufacturers are focusing on creating product variants with minimal side effects, such as gastric erosion and nausea, thus propelling the market toward growth. Along with this, rapid technological advancements focusing on the development of effective and specific cancer treatments are creating a positive outlook for the market. Furthermore, leading pharmaceutical companies and key players are investing heavily in research and development (R&D) activities to develop gastric cancer drugs that are safer, more effective, economically viable, and easier to administer. Besides this, the implementation of various government initiatives to promote the manufacturing, processing, and packing of a drug product ensuring the quality of drugs produced by manufacturers is positively influencing the market growth. Other factors, including rising healthcare expenditure and growing consumer awareness regarding the symptoms and the available treatment options for gastric cancer, are anticipated to drive the market growth.
