The her2-positive breast cancer market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent times, there has been a significant growth in the market size for HER2-positive breast cancer. The market forecast predicts an increase from $10.21 billion in 2024 to $10.96 billion in 2025, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.34%.
The previous growth can be credited to factors such as the rise in early detection and diagnosis, heightened awareness about HER2-positive subtypes, increased investment in research and development, broader acceptance of precision medicine, and enhanced emphasis on bettering patient outcomes.
The her2-positive breast cancer market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the coming years, a considerable surge is expected in the HER2-positive breast cancer market, which is projected to reach $14.41 billion in 2029, growing at a yearly compound rate of 7.08%.
This predicted expansion can be attributed to several factors, such as the increasing need for liquid biopsy for non-invasive monitoring, growing adoption of combined treatments, heightened emphasis on immunotherapies and novel drug formulas. Enhanced usage of liquid biopsy techniques for non-invasive monitoring, and a rise in the number of dedicated cancer treatment facilities also contribute to this growth. The forecast period will also witness major developments like advancements in targeted therapies, innovative drug formulations, and breakthroughs in immunotherapy methods. Additionally, the creation of new HER2-specific therapies and advancements in biomarkers for improved patient stratification will mark essential trends.
The robust uptake of immunotherapy is anticipated to boost the expansion of the HER2-positive breast cancer market in the future. Immunotherapy is a medicinal treatment that augments or alters the immune system's inherent ability to combat illnesses such as cancer, infections, and autoimmune disorders. Its adoption is credited to its potential to amplify the immune system's capacity to detect and destroy cancer cells, offering superior efficacy and less adverse effects compared to standard treatments. In the context of HER2-positive breast cancer, immunotherapy enhances the body's immune system's capability to recognize and assail HER2-overexpressing cancer cells, thereby improving the results of treatment and lowering the risk of reoccurrence. For example, in July 2023, the American Association for Cancer Research, a US-based entity, reported that the FDA had approved 11 immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), with a minimum of one ICI approved for the treatment of 20 distinct cancer types and for any solid tumor displaying specific molecular characteristics in 2023. Consequently, the robust uptake of immunotherapy is propelling the expansion of the HER2-positive breast cancer market.

Top-tier corporations in the HER2-positive breast cancer sector are concentrating their efforts on creating unique therapies like HER2-directed antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), in order to streamline and optimize patient treatment processes. These HER2-targeted ADCs are specialized cancer treatments that tie an antibody, which is specific to HER2, to a toxin, effectively delivering the medicine directly to the HER2-positive cancer cells, thus increasing treatment efficacy. For example, in January 2024, AstraZeneca India Pharma Ltd., a biopharmaceutical corporation based in India, launched an innovative therapy known as Trastuzumab deruxtecan. This novel treatment, a product of a joint effort between AstraZeneca and Daiichi Sankyo, is a HER2-targeted ADC that directs the cytotoxic drug to HER2-positive cancer cells, thus providing a more precise and effective treatment for patients.
