The increasing incidence of cancer globally is a significant driver of the PD-1 and PD-L1 inhibitors market. Cancer is the second biggest cause of mortality worldwide, with a projected 12 million deaths in 2022, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). PD-1 and PD-L1 inhibitors have shown significant efficacy in treating various types of cancer, such as lung cancer, melanoma, and bladder cancer. The rising prevalence of cancer, coupled with the growing demand for effective treatment options, is expected to drive the growth of the PD-1 and PD-L1 inhibitors market.

One key market trend in the global PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors market is the increasing focus on combination therapies. There is growing evidence that combining PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors with other drugs, such as chemotherapy or other immunotherapies, can improve their effectiveness and reduce the risk of resistance. Key players in the market are investing heavily in the development of combination therapies, and several new combination regimens are currently being tested in clinical trials. This trend is expected to continue in the coming years, as researchers and clinicians seek to improve patient outcomes and address the limitations of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors as monotherapies.

North America is one of the largest markets for PD-1 and PD-L1 inhibitors, and it is expected to dominate the global market during the forecast period. The region's dominance can be attributed to various factors such as the high prevalence of cancer and autoimmune diseases, the presence of key market players, and favorable reimbursement policies. In North America, the United States holds the largest share of the PD-1 and PD-L1 inhibitors market, owing to the high prevalence of cancer and autoimmune diseases in the country. According to the American Cancer Society, it is estimated that in 2022, there will be around 1.9 million new cancer cases and over 609,000 cancer deaths in the United States. The rising incidence of cancer in the country is expected to drive the demand for PD-1 and PD-L1 inhibitors. Moreover, the presence of key market players in the region is also expected to drive the growth of the PD-1 and PD-L1 inhibitors market. Some of the major players in the market, such as Bristol-Myers Squibb, Merck & Co., and Pfizer, have their headquarters in the United States. These players are investing heavily in research and development activities to develop innovative PD-1 and PD-L1 inhibitors for the treatment of various diseases. Additionally, favorable reimbursement policies in the region are also expected to drive the growth of the market. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) in the United States has made it mandatory for insurers to cover cancer treatment costs, including PD-1 and PD-L1 inhibitors, which has increased patient access to these drugs.
