Global melanoma market set to reach $3.6 billion by 2020

12 November 2014

The global melanoma therapeutics market was valued at $1.3 billion in 2013 and will expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.4% to reach $3.6 billion by 2020, according to new research findings.

The latest report from business intelligence provider GBI Research states that the majority of this impressive increase, which relates to eight major countries (the USA, Canada, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the UK and Japan), will occur in the USA, where the market value will rise from around $1 billion in 2013 to $2.6 billion by the end of the forecast period.

Fiona Chisholm, an analyst for GBI Research, states that the prolific growth anticipated in the USA is primarily attributable to the increasing prevalence of cutaneous melanoma, rising treatment rates and the expanded uptake of recently approved and emerging premium drugs.
