The renal cell cancer market is expected to peak at a value of $2.7 billion in 2019, before significantly declining to $1.6 billion within three years, according to independent analysts Datamonitor Healthcare.

The decrease has been attributed to the patent expiry of key marketed brands including Novartis’ (NOVN: VX) Afinitor (everolimus), Roche’s (ROG: SIX) Avastin (bevacizumab), Pfizer’s (NYSE: PFE) Inlyta (axitinib), Sutent (sunitinib) and Torisel (temsirolimus), Bayer’s (BAYN: DE) Nexavar (sorafenib), and Votrient (pazopanib) from UK pharma major GlaxoSmithKline (LSE: GSK).

The sales of these are forecast to peak at $2.4 billion in 2018, before decreasing to $705 million in 2022 across the USA, Japan and five major EU markets of France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK. Sales of pipeline drugs will not be able to compensate for this loss in value over the forecast period.
