Squamous Cell Carcinoma Market

Market Overview:

The squamous cell carcinoma market reached a value of USD 739.1 Million across the top 7 markets (US, EU4, UK, and Japan) in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the top 7 major markets to reach USD 1,469.0 Million by 2035, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 6.43% during 2025-2035.

The squamous cell carcinoma market has been comprehensively analyzed in IMARC's new report titled "Squamous Cell Carcinoma Market: Epidemiology, Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity, and Forecast 2025-2035". Squamous cell carcinoma refers to a type of cancer that occurs in the squamous cells, which are thin, flat cells that form the skin's surface, the lining of the hollow organs, and the respiratory as well as digestive tracts. This disease typically develops in areas exposed to the sun, such as the head, hands, neck, and lower legs, but it can also appear in other parts of the body. The most common symptom of the ailment is a scaly patch or a firm, red bump on the skin. Individuals suffering from this illness might also experience persistent soreness that may be painful, tender, or itchy; thickened, raised, or hardened skin regions; swollen lymph nodes; difficulty swallowing; changes in voice; etc. The diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma involves a medical history assessment, a physical examination, and a biopsy. A healthcare professional will initially examine the affected area and check for any suspicious growths, sores, or changes in the skin's appearance. In some cases, various imaging studies, such as X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, etc., are also performed to detect the extent of the tumor and identify any metastases.

The increasing cases of prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from tanning beds or the sun, which can lead to genetic mutations in the cellular DNA, are primarily driving the squamous cell carcinoma market. In addition to this, the rising incidences of several associated risk factors, including chronic wounds or inflammation, advancing age, a weakened immune system, etc., are further bolstering the market growth. Moreover, the widespread adoption of effective topical therapeutic agents, such as 5-fluorouracil and imiquimod, that can be directly applied to the affected site for disrupting cancerous cells is also acting as a significant growth-inducing factor. Besides this, the escalating utilization of cryotherapy, since it involves freezing the tumor with liquid nitrogen, thereby preventing the progression of the illness, is further creating a positive outlook for the market. Additionally, the emerging popularity of Mohs micrographic surgery to treat advanced and recurrent disease conditions, owing to its various advantages, like precise tumor mapping and high cure rates with minimal damage to the surrounding healthy tissue, is expected to drive the squamous cell carcinoma market in the coming years.

Recent Developments:

• In January 2024, the FDA had approved DermaSensor, the first AI-powered tool to diagnose skin cancer, including squamous cell carcinoma, at the point of testing and noninvasively. DermaSensor is a wireless, handheld device that uses spectroscopy technology to examine lesions at cellular and subcellular levels and then assess those characteristics using an FDA-approved algorithm.

Key Highlights:

• An estimated 1.8 million cases of squamous cell carcinoma are diagnosed in the U.S. each year.
• People with fair complexions, blue, green, or grey eyes, and a history of sun exposure are more likely to develop squamous cell carcinoma.
• Squamous cell carcinoma is more prevalent in men than in women.
• The incidence of squamous cell carcinoma increases with age and is highest in those aged 60 and up.
• The mortality rate of this condition is approximately 1% to 2%.

Drugs:

Libtayo (Cemiplimab) is a fully human monoclonal antibody that targets the immunological checkpoint receptor PD-1 on T cells, developed utilizing Regeneron’s unique velocimmune technology. Libtayo has been demonstrated to inhibit cancer cells from suppressing T-cell activation by binding to PD-1. In the United States and other countries, Libtayo is indicated in select individuals with advanced basal cell carcinoma and advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.

PRV-111 is an investigational drug currently being explored for the treatment of oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC). It is a novel compound designed to target specific molecular pathways involved in tumor growth and progression, offering potential benefits in treating advanced or resistant SCC. Clinical studies are ongoing to assess its efficacy and safety in SCC patients.
