The atezolizumab market comprises antibodies designed to block the programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) pathway, which is often hijacked by various tumor types to evade detection by the immune system. Atezolizumab aids in activation of the immune system against cancer cells by blocking the interaction of PD-L1 with its receptors PD-1 and B7.1. This enables the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells more effectively. Key applications of atezolizumab include treatment of lung cancer, urothelial carcinoma, head and neck cancer, and triple-negative breast cancer.
The Global Atezolizumab Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 308 Million in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 3.0% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030.
