The increasing global burden of cancer, which is at least in part attributable to the aging population, changing lifestyles and environmental exposures, drives the quest for new treatment strategies and the global oncology drugs market. This growing clientele nurtures the need for continuous research and development efforts in the various cancers and additional unmet medical needs. Also, a huge advancement in the development of cancer therapeutics is due to scientific and technological advancements especially in areas like molecular biology, genomics and immunotherapy. Developmental efforts in oncology drugs are directed with the help of precision medicine strategy aimed at certain genetic alterations that promote the onset of cancer. These approaches are gaining development and therefore are leading to the development of more active and less harmful drug formulations. 

Nonetheless, the large-scale and costly manufacture of cancer drugs often requires considerable investments in preclinical studies, clinical testing, and regulatory endorsement which may curtail utilization of cancer drugs. It is expected that advancements in technology and drug discovery, coupled with the challenges posed by cancer and its treatment side effects, will hamper the growth of the market. However, the increasing adoption of precision medicine techniques which are powered by advancements in genomics, molecular biology and biomarker exploration presents a lucrative opportunity for the global oncology drugs market. As a result, these factors are anticipated to propel growth during the forecast period for the oncology/cancer medications market.
