The loqtorzi market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In previous years, the loqtorzi market has shown a HCAGR of XX. The market is projected to see growth from $XX million in 2024 to $XX million in 2025, exhibiting a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of XX%.
The notable growth during the historical phase can be connected to factors such as the surge in the number of clinics, heightened demand for efficient treatment choices, an escalating prevalence of smoking, increased healthcare expenditure, and an expanded implementation of immunotherapy.
The loqtorzi market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Anticipations point towards an expansion in the loqtorzi market size with a forecast compound annual growth rate (FCAGR) of XX in the forthcoming years. The market is projected to escalate to a net worth of $XX million by 2029, marking an XX% compound annual growth rate (CAGR).
The growth foreseen in this period can be credited to factors such as the increasing incidences of cancer, heightened awareness regarding diagnosis and treatment, a surge in nasopharyngeal cancer cases, utilization of combination therapies, and an escalated emphasis on early detection and prevention. Predominant trends contributing to this forecast period include progress in diagnostic measures, advancements in treatment procedures, the innovation of drug formulations, progress in radiation therapy techniques, and precision medicine advancements.
The surge in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cases is anticipated to fuel the expansion of the loqtorzi market. This type of cancer that impacts the nasopharynx, has a strong tie with Epstein-Barr virus infection, and is better treated when detected early. Increased exposure to the Epstein-Barr virus, a predisposition due to genetic factors, environmental elements such as tobacco and alcohol use, and certain dietary patterns, like consumption of preserved and salted foods, all contribute to the rising occurrence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Loqtorzi (toripalimab) benefits patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) by enhancing the immune system's capacity to combat cancer cells by inhibiting the PD-1 pathway, providing a new treatment alternative for those with recurrent or metastatic NPC, either in conjunction with chemotherapy or as a standalone therapy following disease advancement. For example, the World Cancer Research Fund, a cancer charity based in the US, stated that over 120,434 new cases of nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) were identified globally in 2022. As a result, the increasing prevalence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is contributing to the growth of the loqtorzi market.

The primary trend in the loqtorzi market revolves around the creation of biosimilars to broaden its range and provide cost-efficient alternative treatments to biologic therapies. Biosimilars are biologic items that are strikingly similar to an approved reference product, with no significant differences in safety or efficacy. They offer a budget-friendly substitute to high-cost biologic drugs once the patent on the original product expires. For example, Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, a pharma firm based in India, introduced a biosimilar for Coherus BioSciences' (CHRS) Loqtorzi (toripalimab) in India by the name of Zytorvi, in November 2024. This medicine is prescribed for adults who suffer from recurring or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (RM-NPC), an uncommon cancer type. Loqtorzi received FDA approval in October 2023 as a first-line therapy for RM-NPC used in conjunction with cisplatin and gemcitabine, as well as a singular therapy for patients exhibiting disease progression post platinum-based chemotherapy. It remains the sole FDA-endorsed immuno-oncology drug for this indication.
Major companies operating in the loqtorzi market include:
