CTLA4 (Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte-Associated Protein 4) Inhibitors Market to grow by USD 2.23 billion between 2023 and 2028, growth Driven by High target affinity and specificity of CTLA4 inhibitors - Technavio

Friday, January 26, 2024

NEW YORK, Jan. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The CTLA4 (cytotoxic t-lymphocyte-associated protein 4) inhibitors market is estimated to grow by USD 2.23 billion from  2023 to 2028, growing at a CAGR of 15.11%. High target affinity and specificity of CTLA4 inhibitors are notably driving the growth. Despite several approved therapies, the treatment landscape for advanced or recurrent cancer lacks sufficient drug responsiveness. Available therapies often lead to severe side effects, reducing patient compliance. Chemotherapy, the current standard of care for advanced cancers, causes significant adverse effects like bone marrow suppression, diarrhea, and hair loss. Similarly, surgery and radiation therapy have limitations in treating recurring carcinomas like melanomas. Furthermore, CTLA4 inhibitors work by enhancing the immune system, resulting in comparatively fewer associated side effects than traditional oncology treatments.

Key Points: 
  • High target affinity and specificity of CTLA4 inhibitors are notably driving the growth.
  • Furthermore, CTLA4 inhibitors work by enhancing the immune system, resulting in comparatively fewer associated side effects than traditional oncology treatments.
  • The global proteasome inhibitors market size is estimated to grow by USD 2.91 billion at a CAGR of 7.48% between 2023 and 2028.
  • The HDAC (histone deacetylase) inhibitors market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.73% between 2022 and 2027.
