Pemetrexed Outlook 2026: Top Companies, Trends and Future Prospects Details for Business Development
Pemetrexed
is a chemotherapy drug indicated for the treatment of pleural
mesothelioma and non-small cell lung cancer. Pemetrexed is a patented
drug of Eli Lilly and Company and sold under brand name Alimta. In
2004, Alimta (Pemetrexed injection) was approved by FDA in
combination with cisplatin as an initial treatment for patients with
malignant pleural mesothelioma. In 2008, ALIMTA, in combination with
cisplatin, was approved as an initial chemotherapy treatment for
locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC for patients with nonsquamous
histology, and in 2009, ALIMTA was approved as a maintenance therapy
for locally advanced or metastatic nonsquamous non-small cell lung
cancer (NSCLC).
Market Dynamics
Launch of generic
version of pemetrexed in key region is expected to increase
affordability of pemetrexed, which in turn is expected to support
global pemetrexed market growth over the forecast period.
For instance, in July
2018, STADAPHARM GmbH, the subsidiary of STADA Arzneimittel AG
launched Pemetrexed STADA generic version of Alimta in Europe.
High prevalence of
non-small cell lung cancer and pleural mesothelioma is expected to
rise the demand for Pemetrexed for its treatment and support global
pemetrexed market growth over the forecast period.
For instance,
according to the data published by American Society of Clinical
Oncology, in January 2018, in the U.S. around 234,030 adults (121,680
men and 112,350 women) were diagnosed with lung cancer among which
non-small cell lung cancer is the most common type of lung cancer,
accounting for 80% to 85% of all lung cancer diagnose.
Furthermore, key
players in the market are dedicated to expand the indication of its
Pemetrexed drugs in order to increase its sale and generate high
revenues. For instance, in June 2018, Eli Lilly and Company received
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for a new
indication for ALIMTA (pemetrexed for injection) in combination with
carboplatin and KEYTRUDA (pembrolizumab) for the initial treatment of
patients with metastatic nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer
(NSCLC), irrespective of PD-L1 expression status.

North America is expected to Hold Dominant
Position, Owing to High Prevalence of Non-small Cell Lung Cancer and
its High Treatment Rate in the U.S.
According to Eli Lilly
and Company’s annual report 2017, Alimta (pemetrexed) generated
around 50% of its revenue from the U.S. Hence, North America is
expected to be most conducive region for growth of the pemetrexed
market, due to high prevalence of non-small cell lung cancer and high
cost for its treatment.
For instance,
according to the data published by the American Cancer Society in
2017, lung cancer (both small cell and non-small cell) is the second
most common type of cancer in U.S and around 13% of all new cancers
are lung cancer.
American Cancer
Society also estimated that in 2019, around 228,150 new cases of lung
cancer (116,440 in men and 111,710 in women) would be diagnosed in
the U.S. and survival rate for non-small cell lung cancer in stage
IA1 NSCLC is about 92%, stage IB NSCLC (68%), stage IIIA NSCLC (36%),
stage IIIC cancers (13%), and for stage IIIC cancers (13%).
