HER2 Market: Competitive Landscape, Pipeline, and Market Analysis 2023
HER2 Market: Competitive Landscape, Pipeline, and Market Analysis 2023
HER2, also known as Human Epidermal Growth Factor 2, is a protein that plays a significant role in cell growth and cell division. The HER2/neu gene encodes it and belongs to the family of receptors known as Receptor Tyrosine Kinase (RTK). HER2 is found on the surface of many cells. The overexpression of HER 2 has been linked with many types of cancer like gastric cancer, Ovarian cancer, Thoracic neoplasms, Bronchial neoplasms, and Breast cancer. HER2 overexpression confers worse biological behavior and clinical aggressiveness in breast cancer. Breast cancer cells with higher than normal levels of HER2 are called HER2-positive. Trastuzumab was the 1st drug used for the treatment of HER2-positive diseases, and since then, many treatments and therapies have been indicated for HER2-positive cancer. HER2-positive cancers grow and spread faster but react better towards the therapy given, like trastuzumab course, than HER 2 negative. About 20% of breast cancers are HER2-positive. Extensive research is being conducted globally to discover new and novel molecules to be used, like pembrolizumab, which is used for the treatment of many indications like Non-small Cell Lung Cancer. The development and launch of new products will thus increase the revenue of the market in the forecasted years. According to a research article, 1.1 million new cases of gastric cancer were estimated in 2020, with the incidence 2x in males than in females. The annual burden of Gastric cancer is expected to increase to approximately 1.8 million new cases by 2040.
A number of these inhibitors are in the market, while many are in ongoing clinical trials. Various companies have various products in their pipelines, with 342 products in various stages of clinical trials – 13 in Phase 4, 38 in Phase 3, 82 in Phase 2, and 83 in Phase 1 of the clinical trials.

Drugs like Herceptin and Perjeta have been approved by the FDA and other regulatory bodies for the treatment of various indications. Herceptin has been approved for various indications as a part of the treatment regimen with doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, and either docetaxel or paclitaxel. In combination with paclitaxel, it is indicated for Metastatic HER2 positive Breast Cancer, and in combination with cisplatin and capecitabine for HER2 positive Gastric cancer or Gastroesophageal junction Adenocarcinoma. Perjeta is indicated in combination with trastuzumab and docetaxel for Metastatic HER2 positive Breast Cancer, neoadjuvant treatment of HER2-positive locally advanced, inflammatory, or early-stage breast cancer, and as adjuvant treatment in patients with HER2-positive early-stage breast cancer at high risk of recurrence.
Roche’s global net sales of Herceptin in the fiscal year 2022 were $2,227.68 million, 19% lower than global net sales in the fiscal year 2021, being $2,801.76 million. The net sales of Herceptin were $495.04 in the USA, $438.88 in Europe, and $53.04 million in Japan in the financial year 2022. Perjeta had an overall net sale of $4,250.48 million in the fiscal year 2022, from which $1,594.32 million sales were from the USA itself, while $4,113.2 million net sales in the fiscal year 2021 with a 5% increase in the sales in 2022. The net sales of Herceptin were $905.84 in Europe and $243.36. million in Japan in the financial year 2022. There is a growing market globally for PD-1 Inhibitors, and it is a good global opportunity for the market players.
