South Korea Amifostine Market Insights Forecasts to 2035

• The Market Size is Expected to Grow at a CAGR of around 6.2% from 2025 to 2035
• The South Korea Amifostine Market Size Is Expected to Hold a Significant Share By 2035

According to a research report published by Spherical Insights & Consulting, The South Korea Amifostine Market Size is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 6.2% from 2025 to 2035. The amifostine market is in greater demand as a result of the rising incidence of cancer and the need for more tolerable cancer treatments to lessen the negative effects of chemotherapy and radiation.

Market Overview

The supply and clinical application of amifostine (WR-2721), a cytoprotective prodrug used to lessen normal-tissue toxicities from specific chemotherapy and radiation regimens, are covered by the amifostine market. Protection against nephro/ototoxicity in platinum-based chemotherapy and xerostomia in head and neck radiation is made possible by selective uptake in healthy tissues. Steady oncology caseload, supportive care protocols at tertiary centers, and the post-pandemic normalization of screening and surgical pathways that restore treatment volumes all influence demand in South Korea.  While formulary decisions consider adverse-event management and overall cost of care, hospital adoption prioritizes indications with stronger evidence and quality-of-life benefits.

Market Segmentation

The South Korea amifostine market share is classified by product type and application

• The injectable segment held the largest market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

The South Korea amifostine market is segmented by product type into injectable and oral. Among these, the injectable segment held the largest share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The main reasons injectable amifostine is preferred over oral formulations are its quicker onset of action and greater bioavailability. Because injectable amifostine can be given rapidly and effectively to offer immediate protection against treatment-related toxicities, it is frequently used in clinical settings, especially for patients receiving chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

• The oncology segment held the largest market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

The South Korea amifostine market is segmented by application into oncology, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and others. Among these, the oncology segment held the largest market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. Amifostine's proven ability to lessen the harmful side effects of cancer treatments is the reason for its extensive use in oncology. Amifostine enables more intensive treatment plans by shielding healthy tissues from the damaging effects of radiation and chemotherapy, which enhances patient outcomes overall.
