Hepatocellular Carcinoma | China In-Depth | China | 2019

MARKET OUTLOOK

The hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) market in China is poised to experience substantial market growth. Availability of systemic targeted drugs is limited, with only three agents beyond surgery or chemotherapy available. However, the pipeline of emerging therapies is promising, with a large number of treatments being developed both within and outside China. We anticipate a significant growth in the HCC market of China over the next ten years, driven particularly by the launch and uptake of immune checkpoint inhibitors—Tecentriq, Opdivo, and Keytruda. Additionally, following the recent reforms in China’s regulatory and reimbursement landscape, manufacturers—both domestic and multinational—will be increasingly incentivized to enter the growing HCC market over the coming years.
