Global FLT3 Inhibitors Market: Industry Overview
The global FLT3 inhibitors market is expected to reach $2,061.3 million in 2032 from $400.9 million in 2021 at a CAGR of 14.88% during the forecast period 2022-2032. The global FLT3 inhibitors market growth is expected to be driven by the introduction of novel products, the increasing incidence of acute myeloid leukemia, and the rising research and development investments, among others.
Market Lifecycle Stage
The global FLT3 inhibitors market is in the nascent stage. The landscape of treatment of blood cancers with FLT3 positive mutations by novel inhibitory therapeutics is massively growing, with many emerging and legacy companies venturing into the industry with their respective therapeutic portfolio exclusively developed and designed for the treatment of FLT3 mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Through imaging, genetic, and biomarker studies, researchers are gaining a deeper understanding of the biology of AML, which will likely resolve many current problems in FLT3 mutated AML diagnosis and classification.
The current study aims to assess the global FLT3 inhibitors market by focusing on the marketed and potential pipeline therapies. The current market for FLT3 inhibitors is majorly dominated by pharmaceutical companies such as Novartis International AG, Astellas Pharma Inc., and Daiichi Sankyo Company, Limited. Increasing investments in the research and development of drug manufacturing are one of the major opportunities in the global FLT3 inhibitors market.
Impact
The growing interest of the pharmaceutical industry in the therapeutic potential for treating blood cancers with FLT3 positive mutations has been a catalyst for the progress of the global FLT3 inhibitors market. Recently approved products such as Xospata and Rydapt for treating FLT3 mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) The recent increase in the number of drug approvals received for treating acute myeloid leukemia with FLT3 positive mutations is considered to have added value to the emerging potential drug development. There are three FLT3 inhibitors approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration during 2015-2021. Also, many FLT3 inhibitors are in preclinical or clinical trials, indicating progress toward making an impact in the pharmaceutical industry.
