The demand for oncology drugs in the Philippines has been on the rise in recent years.

Customer preferences: Cancer is a leading cause of death in the country, and with an aging population, the demand for oncology drugs is expected to continue to grow. Patients in the Philippines tend to prefer affordable and accessible cancer treatments, which has led to an increase in the availability of generic oncology drugs in the market.

Trends in the market: The oncology drugs market in the Philippines has been dominated by multinational pharmaceutical companies, but there has been a recent trend of local companies entering the market. These local companies are focused on developing and manufacturing affordable generic oncology drugs, which has increased competition in the market and lowered drug prices. Additionally, there has been a shift towards targeted therapies, which are more effective and have fewer side effects than traditional chemotherapy.

Local special circumstances: One of the unique challenges in the Philippines is the lack of universal healthcare coverage. This has led to a significant portion of the population being unable to afford cancer treatment, which has created a demand for more affordable oncology drugs. Additionally, the country has a high prevalence of certain types of cancer, such as liver cancer, which has led to a specific focus on developing drugs to treat these types of cancer.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: The Philippines has a growing economy, with a rising middle class and an increase in healthcare spending. This has led to an increase in demand for healthcare services, including cancer treatment. Additionally, the government has implemented policies to encourage the development and manufacturing of generic drugs, which has led to an increase in the availability of affordable oncology drugs in the market. However, there are still challenges in the market, such as the lack of universal healthcare coverage and the need for more investment in research and development to create more effective cancer treatments.

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, with lung cancer alone ranked the sixth leading cause of death in 2021. Cancer, also known as malignant tumors and neoplasms, is the result of interactions between personal genetic factors and external agents causing abnormal transformations of cells into tumors over time. As the global population has increased in age, the incidence of new cancer cases has also risen, contributing to a higher number of deaths each year. In 2022, nearly 10 million deaths were caused by cancer worldwide- a number which is expected to reach over 15 million by 2040.
