Global Fluorouracil (5FU) Market Definition

Fluorouracil is an antimetabolite and pyrimidine chemical molecule that has been successfully utilized to treat cancer all over the world. Fluorouracil is the most effective and safest cancer treatment, according to the World Health Organization’s list of essential medications. Noncommunicable diseases, such as cancer, are becoming more prevalent. The most potent and successful first-line medication treatment for cancer is fluorouracil. As a result, pharmaceutical companies are spending on research and development, which is predicted to help the market grow.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cancer caused over 3.7 million new cases and 1.9 million deaths in Europe in 2012, making it the second-highest cause of death and morbidity in the continent. As a result, pharmaceutical companies are concentrating their efforts on the development of novel fluorouracil-based conjugate treatments. Anal, breast, colorectal, esophageal, stomach, pancreatic, and skin cancers have all been treated with fluorouracil (especially head and neck cancers). It’s also been used to treat actinic keratoses, skin malignancies, Bowen’s disease, as well as ocular surface squamous neoplasia with eye drops.

Ocular injections into a previously produced trabeculectomy bleb to impede healing and promote tissue scarring, allowing enough aqueous humor flow to lower intraocular pressure, are another application. It is not recommended for patients who are severely disabled or who have had their bone marrow suppressed by radiotherapy or chemotherapy.

Global Fluorouracil (5FU) Market Overview

Noncommunicable diseases, such as cancer, are becoming more prevalent. The most potent and successful first-line medication treatment for cancer is fluorouracil. As a result, pharmaceutical companies are spending on research and development, which is predicted to help the market grow. For example, Shire plc stated in 2016 that the European Commission had approved ONIVYDE for the treatment of metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma in combination with 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin in adults. In addition, Accord Healthcare announced the launch of a fluorouracil injectable in Australia in 2019. The worldwide Fluorouracil (5FU) Market is predicted to be driven by these factors.

Ever since COVID-19 popped up in 2019, it's been all over the globe, putting a damper on a bunch of industries. Looks like the Global Fluorouracil (5FU) Market might see some slower growth too. You see, the National Cancer Institute of the United States says that cancer treatments like chemotherapy can mess with your immune system, making you more susceptible to COVID-19. Now, Fluorouracil is a key chemotherapy drug for cancer patients, which means they might be at a higher risk of catching the virus. On top of that, 5-Fluorouracil often leads to tummy troubles and nerve damage in the gut for many patients.

And get thisthe sky-high price of skin cancer meds is really holding the market back. I mean, in the United States, can you believe a little jar—30 grams—of 5-fluorouracil cream (0.5%) can set you back around US$ 1,253? Ouch! So, yeah, the Global Fluorouracil (5FU) Market isn't exactly booming because of that. Now, fluorouracil is used for all sorts of cancers, like colon, esophageal, stomach, breast, and cervical, just to name a few. Right now, all the companies are super focused on upgrading their tech skills. Plus, these vendors are trying to grow their Fluorouracil product lines and create new stuff to grab a bigger slice of the market pie. Looking ahead, if we can just raise awareness and put more money into R&D, it should unlock some awesome new opportunities.
