Prostate Cancer Market

• The total Prostate Cancer Treatment Market Size in the 7MM was nearly USD 12,300 million in 2023 and is expected to show positive growth by 2034. Among the 7MM, the US accounts for the largest Prostate Cancer Market Size in 2023.
• The Metastatic Prostate Cancer Market accounts for around 75% of the 7MM's overall market size in 2023, while the rest 25% belonged to non-metastatic prostate cancer market.
• The Prostate Cancer Diagnostics Market is expected to witness significant growth owing to the rising prevalence of prostate cancer cases, emergence of novel, more accurate, next-generation imaging techniques, extensive market penetration of approved therapies in mCRPC due to label expansions and entry of new emerging therapies.
• Prostate Cancer is most frequently diagnosed among men aged 65–74 years; the median age at diagnosis is 66 years. As per DelveInsight’s estimates, the Prostate Cancer Prevalent Cases in the United States were ~3,649,900 in 2023 with a huge number of non-metastatic patients under watchful waiting.
• The majority of prostate cancer cases are diagnosed at a non-metastatic stage. About 80-85% of prostate cancer patients are diagnosed with localized or locally advanced (non-metastatic) prostate cancer.
• Depending on the stage of detection and the tolerance to hormonal therapies, prostate cancer market is segmented into non-metastatic CSPC, non-metastatic CRPC, metastatic CSPC, and metastatic CRPC.
• Established therapies for metastatic prostate cancer include ERLEADA, XTANDI, NUBEQA, JEVTANA, ZYTIGA, with the recent addition of Novartis’ PLUVICTO. Whereas only ERLEADA, XTANDI and NUBEQA have labels for non-metastatic patients.
• Janssen’s XTANDI, the biggest revenue generator with labels in all four segments of prostate cancer, has witnessed stable growth since 2021 due to increased competition. Recent approval of XTANDI in non-metastatic settings, in November 2023, has offered a ray of hope to a subset of men with nmCSPC with biochemical recurrence and at high risk for metastases.
• Approval of ERLEADA for mCSPC has put a barrier to the growth of the sales of ZYTIGA, which is already facing competition. Even though ZYTIGA’s generics have entered the US market since 2019 and the EU since late 2022, leading to a drastic decline in the revenue mainly in the US, the product is extensively being evaluated in combination with novel emerging therapies, leading to an increase in patient share on the compound abiraterone acetate.
• Apart from XTANDI, ZYTIGA, and ERLEADA in the mCSPC market, Bayer’s NUBEQA is another rising contender with a strong uptake in a short period. NUBEQA is emerging as a potential game-changer, with ongoing Phase III trials exploring its efficacy in combination with LHRHa and EBRT for nmCSPC with high-risk BCR..
• The mCRPC Market has witnessed a strong and unexpected commercial uptake of Novartis’ radioligand therapy, PLUVICTO, post its approval in 2022, from the third-line mCRPC setting. PLUVICTO is now set for entry in pre-taxane setting after expected filling in 2H 2024, whereas, mCSPC is the third segment company is eyeing  to enter by 2025 in the United States.
• Moreover, PARP inhibitors are also carving out their place in patients harboring HRR gene mutations (BRCA1/2), with the launch of AstraZeneca’s LYNPARZA in 1L+ and RUBRACA in 3L mCRPC patients in 2020. In 2023, TALZENNA, AKEEGA, and LYNPARZA also received approvals in the 1L setting.

Key Factors Driving Prostate Cancer Market 

Rising Prostate Cancer Patient Pool Across the 7MM

Prostate cancer remains one of the most common malignancies in men, particularly affecting those aged 65–74 years, with a median diagnosis age of 66. In 2023, the United States recorded nearly 3.65 million prevalent cases, with the majority diagnosed at localized or locally advanced (non-metastatic) stages. Approximately 80–85% of cases are detected as non-metastatic, and many patients remain under active surveillance or watchful waiting before progressing to advanced disease.

Expanding Prostate Cancer Market and Segment Dynamics

The metastatic prostate cancer segment contributed ~75% of the total prostate cancer market in the 7MM in 2023, while the non-metastatic segment accounted for ~25%. Depending on disease progression and treatment eligibility, the market is further segmented into non-metastatic CSPC, non-metastatic CRPC, metastatic CSPC, and metastatic CRPC. Expanding access to next-generation imaging, biomarker-driven diagnostics, and broader label expansions of approved therapies are fueling growth across both metastatic and non-metastatic markets.

Established and Emerging Therapies Driving Growth

The treatment landscape has been strengthened by androgen receptor inhibitors (XTANDI, ERLEADA, NUBEQA), taxanes (JEVTANA), hormonal therapies (ZYTIGA), and radioligand therapies (PLUVICTO). Novartis’ PLUVICTO has shown strong uptake in post-taxane mCRPC and is being advanced to earlier settings, including pre-taxane mCRPC and mCSPC. Meanwhile, PARP inhibitors (LYNPARZA, RUBRACA, TALZENNA, AKEEGA) have expanded options for HRR-mutated patients. XTANDI remains the leading therapy, holding approvals across all four prostate cancer subtypes, while NUBEQA is rapidly gaining share with strong Phase III programs in high-risk non-metastatic disease.

Innovations in Prostate Cancer Pipeline and Clinical Trials

The prostate cancer pipeline is robust, featuring a range of novel mechanisms, including radioligand therapies (177Lu-PNT2002, TLX591, 177Lu-PSMA-I&T), gene therapy (CAN-2409 by Candel Therapeutics), AR degraders (ARV-110, ARV-766), PARP inhibitors (Fuzuloparib, Saruparib), kinase inhibitors (cabozantinib, capivasertib, pamufetinib), and immunotherapies (nivolumab, vudalimab, lorigerlimab). Notably, CAN-2409 is the only gene therapy currently in development for localized prostate cancer, a space with significant unmet needs. With multiple phase II and III trials ongoing, these pipeline agents are expected to redefine treatment sequencing and expand survival benefits.

Strong Industry Participation and Strategic Collaborations

The prostate cancer market is highly competitive, with participation from global leaders such as Astellas/Pfizer, Janssen, Bayer, Novartis, AstraZeneca, Eli Lilly/POINT Biopharma, Merck, Daiichi Sankyo, Exelixis, Bristol Myers Squibb, Telix Pharmaceuticals, and Candel Therapeutics.

The Prostate Cancer Treatment Market Report provides current treatment practices, emerging drugs, prostate cancer market share of individual therapies, and current and forecasted prostate cancer market size from 2020 to 2034, segmented by seven major markets. The report also covers current prostate cancer treatment market practices/algorithms and unmet medical needs to curate the best of the opportunities and assess the underlying potential of the market.

Prostate Cancer Treatment Market Disease: Understanding and Algorithm

Prostate cancer is a type of malignancy in the prostate gland, a part of the male reproductive system. Fortunately, most prostate cancers tend to grow slowly and are low-grade with relatively low risk and limited aggressiveness. Prostate cancer is rare in men younger than 40, but the chance of having prostate cancer rises rapidly after age 50.

Diagnosis is primarily based on prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing, which is elevated in those with prostate cancer or other conditions affecting the prostate. Screening can also involve a digital rectal exam to feel for prominent prostate tumors, a prostate ultrasound, and a prostate MRI. A definitive diagnosis requires a transrectal ultrasound-guided (TRUS) prostate tissue biopsy. When the cancer is limited to the prostate, it is considered localized and potentially curable. Active surveillance, surgery, or radiation therapy are the three major treatment options for localized or locally advanced prostate cancer.

Further details related to diagnosis will be provided in the report…

Prostate Cancer Treatment

Prostate cancer starts as localized prostate cancer when only found in the prostate and surgery or radiation can be used to treat it. Sometimes, hormone therapy might also be used.  Patients who have never received, i.e., are sensitive to ADT, are known as hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (HSPC) or castrate-sensitive prostate cancer (CSPC). The main treatments for nmCRPC include androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), also called hormone therapy, second-line ADT, and active surveillance. If the disease has spread to the bones or elsewhere outside the prostate, pain medications, bisphosphonates, rank ligand inhibitors, hormonal treatment, chemotherapy, radiopharmaceuticals, immunotherapy, focused radiation, and other targeted therapies can be used.

Further details related to treatment will be provided in the report…

Prostate Cancer Epidemiology

The prostate cancer epidemiology chapter in the report provides historical as well as forecasted epidemiology segmented by Total Prevalent cases of Prostate cancer, Five–year Prevalent cases of Prostate cancer, Age-specific cases of Prostate cancer, and Total cases of Prostate cancer by clinical stages (Total Prevalent cases of nmCSPC, Total Prevalent cases of mCSPC, Total Prevalent cases of nmCRPC, and Total Prevalent cases of mCRPC) in the 7MM covering the United States, EU4 (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain), the United Kingdom, and Japan from 2020 to 2034.

ASCO 2024 Key Highlights in Prostate Cancer

Prostate Cancer Drugs Market Insights

Currently, the market holds a diverse range of therapeutic alternatives for treatment, including PARP inhibitors, androgen receptor inhibitors, CYP17 inhibitors, microtubule inhibitors, radioligand therapies, GnRH receptor antagonists, and others in different lines of treatment. Androgen receptor pathway inhibitors are a mainstay of treatment for patients with prostate cancer. There are currently four approved androgen receptor pathway inhibitors in the United States: three anti-androgens — apalutamide, enzalutamide, and darolutamide, as well as an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor, abiraterone acetate.

In men with mCRPC and select HRR pathway alterations, PARPi treatment has been shown to induce objective tumor responses and improve progression-free and overall survival. The FDA has approved four PARP inhibitors (olaparib, niraparib, rucaparib, and talazoparib) for men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. FDA-approved targeted radioligand therapy, PLUVICTO (177lutetium (177Lu)-PSMA-617), proved to be an important clinical advancement for people with progressing mCRPC, as it can significantly improve survival rates for those who have limited treatment options.

ADCs that target B7-H3 are generating early excitement among investigators in prostate cancer, which has been largely unresponsive to currently approved ICIs. MGC018 and DS-7300 have both displayed encouraging results in Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials involving patients with mCRPC. Amgen and Xencor are currently evaluating xaluritamig (AMG 509), a STEAP1 x CD3 XmAb 2 + 1 bispecific antibody, in a Phase I study in patients with mCRPC. STEAP1 is highly expressed in prostate cancers, representing an attractive target for treating mCRPC.

Prostate Cancer Market Outlook

Non-metastatic Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer starts as localized prostate cancer when only found in the prostate and surgery or radiation can be used to treat it. Sometimes, hormone therapy might also be used. Increased sophistication of prostate imaging has allowed for the rapid emergence of focal therapies such as focal laser ablation, high-intensity focal ultrasound (HIFU), irreversible electroporation (IRE), photodynamic therapy (VTP), and focal cryotherapy. Radical prostatectomy can be open (ORP), laparoscopic (LRP), or robotic-assisted (RARP). ORP is the traditional method, whilst LRP and RARP are increasing in popularity.

As RARP becomes more available, conventional LRP has been overtaken. With non-metastatic CRPC (nmCRPC), cancer no longer responds to hormone treatment. The main goal of treating nmCRPC is to shrink the tumor, control symptoms, and slow progress. The doctor may also suggest taking calcium and vitamin D to protect bones or other medications to help maintain bone density. The main treatments for nmCRPC include Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT), also called hormone therapy, second-line ADT, and active surveillance. Established therapies in the market for non-metastatic prostate cancer include ERLEADA, XTANDI, and NUBEQA.

Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC)

Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC) is a stage of prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body, such as lymph nodes or bones, and no longer responds to treatment that lowers testosterone. Despite currently approved therapeutics, mCRPC remains a terminal diagnosis with an aggressive disease course. ADT is a stalwart therapy for the initial treatment of metastatic disease. Unfortunately, most men in this situation will go on to develop mCRPC and require secondary systemic therapy. This disease state can be very challenging to treat.

Docetaxel was the only agent available for the treatment of mCRPC until 2010, which showed an increase in overall survival compared with the standard of care. It was approved in 2004 for mCRPC with prednisone. Patients failed to first-line docetaxel for many years, and no standard treatment option was approved. However, in the last few years, several drugs such as JEVTANA, ZYTIGA, XTANDI, LYNPARZA, TALZENNA, AKEEGA, and others have received regulatory approval for mCRPC in the United States.

Most recently, PARP inhibitors have shown tremendous development in this area with AKEEGA (Janssen), followed by TALZENNA (Pfizer/Astellas Pharma) and LYNPARZA in combination (AstraZeneca/Merck) getting approved in mCRPC in 2023.The approval of PLUVICTO has also marked a crucial advancement in treating progressive mCRPC, offering improved survival rates for those with limited treatment options. The drug had an exceptionally robust initial market performance, garnering a stronger-than-expected uptake in the US.

Quantitatively, the mCRPC pipeline seems to be quite strong. ADCs such as MGC018 and DS-7300 have both displayed encouraging results in Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials involving patients with mCRPC.

Metastatic Castrate-Sensitive Prostate Cancer (mCSPC)

Metastatic Castrate-Sensitive Prostate Cancer (mCSPC) is an advanced form of cancer in which cancer cells have spread from the prostate to other body areas. However, the patient is still sensitive to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) (some mCSPC patients have never had ADT, while others may have had ADT but have recovered testicular function). The backbone of all treatments in mCSPC is androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with medications that suppress the level of testosterone in the body because testosterone is the fuel for prostate cancer and gives the signals to grow and spread.

Studies over the last decade have demonstrated that intensification of androgen deprivation with different treatment modalities correlates with prolongation of survival. The options for intensification include docetaxel chemotherapy, different androgen receptor-targeted agents, including abiraterone acetate, apalutamide, and enzalutamide, and radiation to the prostate. Most recently, the treatment paradigm for mHSPC shifted to triplet therapy, NUBEQA combined with ADT and chemotherapy.

Prostate Cancer Health Market: Qualitative Analysis

We perform Qualitative and market Intelligence analysis using various approaches, such as SWOT and conjoint analyses. In the SWOT analysis, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats in terms of disease diagnosis, patient awareness, patient burden, competitive landscape, cost-effectiveness, and geographical accessibility of therapies are provided. These pointers are based on the Analyst’s discretion and assessment of the patient burden, cost analysis, and existing and evolving Prostate Cancer Treatment Drugs Market Landscape.

Prostate Cancer Therapeutics Market Access and Reimbursement

Given the high-unmet need, most therapies can secure positive recommendations in this setting. However, ZYTIGA’s patent expiry is estimated to create pricing pressure for newer therapies targeting overlapping patient populations. Considering the threats to penetrate the market, many companies have opted for various reimbursement and patient support programs to ease the cost burden of their drugs and increase patient uptake.

TALZENNA is covered by 96% of the commercially insured population. Copay assistance is available for commercially insured patients who may pay as little as USD 0 per month regardless of income. There are no income requirements, forms, or faxing to enroll. In 2023, IQWIG reported a hint of minor added benefit of olaparib in patients with treatment-naive mCRPC <65 years, a hint of lesser benefit in patients with treatment-naive mCRPC =65 years, and added benefit could not be proven in patients with pretreated mCRPC in whom chemotherapy is not clinically indicated.

XTANDI (enzalutamide), combined with ADT, is a first-line option in treating patients with hormone-sensitive metastatic prostate cancer. In February 2023, Haute Autorité de santé (HAS) gave an opinion in favor of reimbursement in the treatment of mHSPC in adult men in association with androgen suppression treatment (ADT).
