Immunosuppressants generated revenues of $92.2 billion in 2010 while immunostimulants generated revenues of $53.7 billion. There are more classes of immunosuppressants than immunostimulants because it is difficult to boost the cells of the immune system as they all respond to antigens in different ways. The immunostimulants market is estimated to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 10.5% and the immunosuppressants market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 7.3%, although there are more products in the pipeline for immunosuppressants. Immunostimulatory Monoclonal Antibodies (mAbs) such as cancer antibodies and vaccines will contribute most to the growth of the markets as there is a great deal of scope for these classes in the oncology market, valued at $60.5 billion in 2010.
Antimetabolic Drugs Generated the Highest Revenues of all Classes of Immunomodulators
Antiproliferative and antimetabolic drugs generated revenues of approximately $33.2 billion in 2010. However, with the gradual approval of mAbs as first-line treatment, antiproliferative and antimetabolic drugs will grow at a comparatively slow rate. Conventional therapy, namely chemotherapy, has a long history of poor safety profiles due to systemic action characteristics, which means its often fails to impart the desired effect at the site of action. Cancer is better managed with personalized oncological treatments such as measuring erbB2 (erythroblastic leukemia viral oncogene homolog 2) and EGFR (Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor) proteins in breast, lung and colorectal cancer patients before selecting suitable treatments. Herceptin is used in the treatment of women with breast cancer in which HER2 (Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor 2) protein is overexpressed.
