Osteosarcoma Market

Osteosarcoma is a rare but aggressive form of bone cancer, most commonly affecting children, adolescents, and young adults. Despite its low incidence, the osteosarcoma market is gaining attention due to the high unmet clinical need, ongoing innovation in diagnostics and therapies, and a growing number of targeted treatment candidates in development. Globally, the osteosarcoma market was valued at approximately USD 570.6 million in 2024 and is expected to grow to USD 777.7 million by 2033 at a CAGR of around 3.5%. Alternative projections estimate the 7 major markets (7MM) size at USD 880.9 million in 2023, reaching USD 1.456 billion by 2034 with a CAGR of 4.7%. Key market developments include the IPO of OS Therapies, a company advancing OST‑HER2 for osteosarcoma. The company recently raised $7.1 million and obtained FDA orphan drug, fast-track and pediatric designations, targeting an addressable market of up to USD 1.72 billion.
