Growth Factors

Rising number of organ transplant procedures

Tacrolimus is an immunosuppressive agent, which is primarily used in the prevention and treatment of solid-organ transplant rejection. An increasing number of kidney, liver, and lung transplants contributes to the growth.

  • For instance, as per data from United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS), in 2022, 42,887 organ transplants were performed in the U.S. alone, with rise of around of 3.7%, over 2021.

Furthermore, growing incidence of infections is expected to increase the demand for tacrolimus during the forecast period. For instance, as per the study published by National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) in November 2023, in the U.S., around 1% of all hospital admissions have acute kidney injury on admission. Such large number of hospital admissions is expected to increase the organ transplantations thereby, fuelling the overall market growth.

Rising R&D expenditures for the development of tacrolimus will propel the market growth

Growing R&D spending by key companies for the development and introduction of tacrolimus is expected to contribute to the market growth in the coming years. For instance, according to the data by the clinicaltrials.gov, companies such as Astellas Pharma., Veloxis Pharmaceuticals, (Asahi Kasei Pharma Corporation), & Aurinia Pharmaceuticals have their tacrolimus drugs in the phase II of the clinical trials.

Moreover, the companies focusing on increasing the research and development expenses are expected to contribute to the market growth in the upcoming years. For instance, according to the financial results of Astellas Pharma, in fiscal year 2022, the company witnessed an increase of 12.2% in its research & development expenses, compared to fiscal year 2021. Such increase in R&D spending coupled with the strong pipeline will positively impact the tacrolimus market growth during the forecast timeframe.

Restraining Factors

Adverse effects of tacrolimus will hinder the market growth

Severe side effects from tacrolimus include decreased urine, burning or discomfort during urination, dyspnea, fast heartbeat, and pale skin. Such side effects are expected to impact the market growth negatively during the forecast timeframe. Moreover, the effectiveness of other medicines compared to tacrolimus is expected to hamper the market growth significantly.

For instance, according to a research study published by the Clínic Barcelona in February 2023, it was demonstrated that organ transplant recipients infected with COVID-19 did not develop toxicity when prednisone was used instead of tacrolimus.
