KRAS Inhibitors - Market Size, Target Population, Competitive Landscape And Forecast - 2036 Pan-KRAS Pipelines And New Cancer Indications Drive 7MM Growth


(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Pan-KRAS and non-G12C therapies broaden patient reach, while biomarker-led combinations and US-focused launches can unlock unmet demand and strengthen competitive positioning.

Dublin, Oct. 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- "KRAS Inhibitors - Market Size, Target Population, Competitive Landscape & Market Forecast - 2036" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The "Kirsten Rat Sarcoma Virus (KRAS) Inhibitors - Market Insights, Epidemiology, and Market Forecast - 2036" report provides a comprehensive assessment of the KRAS inhibitors market across the United States, EU4 (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain) and the United Kingdom, and Japan. Covering the study period from 2022 to 2036, the report examines market size, treatment practices, epidemiology, marketed products, emerging therapies, drug uptake, competitive activity, and unmet medical needs.

Key KRAS Inhibitors Market Highlights

  • KRAS is the most frequently mutated RAS gene, followed by NRAS and HRAS. KRAS mutations are prevalent in pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), ovarian cancer, and other solid tumors.
  • The United States represented nearly 70% of the 7MM KRAS inhibitors market in 2025 and is expected to remain the leading market through 2036.
  • KRAZATI is projected to generate higher revenue than LUMAKRAS in the United States during the forecast period.
  • Approximately 46% of KRAS mutation cases in NSCLC across the 7MM were reported in the United States.
  • KRAS G12C is the most common KRAS variant in NSCLC, while KRAS G12D is particularly prevalent in pancreatic cancer and low-grade serous ovarian cancer (LGSOC).
  • Most approved and investigational KRAS-targeted therapies focus on G12C, leaving significant opportunities for G12D, pan-KRAS, and RAS(ON) inhibitors.
  • Companies advancing broader KRAS programs include Cardiff Oncology, Immuneering Corporation, Jacobio Pharma, Eli Lilly and Company, Elicio Therapeutics, and Revolution Medicines.

KRAS Mutation Epidemiology

The epidemiology analysis includes incident cases of NSCLC, colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, and LGSOC, together with KRAS mutation and variant-specific segmentation across the 7MM. In 2025, approximately 539,400 incident NSCLC cases were identified across the covered markets, including about 203,000 cases in the United States. Total incident colorectal cancer cases reached approximately 570,800.

Within EU4 and the United Kingdom, Germany accounted for approximately 26% of KRAS mutation cases, while Spain represented about 14%. In the United States, KRAS G12C was present in approximately 36.8% of KRAS-mutated NSCLC cases. KRAS G12D accounted for approximately 41.8% of pancreatic cancer cases and 41.7% of LGSOC cases involving KRAS mutations.

KRAS mutation testing generally uses tumor tissue sequencing or liquid biopsy. The diagnostic assessment considers tissue selection, tumor enrichment, DNA extraction, sequencing practices, and the role of representative metastatic tissue in advanced disease.

Current KRAS-Targeted Treatment Landscape

Treatment strategies for KRAS-mutated cancers may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and combination regimens. The commercial landscape currently includes LUMAKRAS/LUMYKRAS, KRAZATI, and AVMAPKI + FAKZYNJA Co-Pack.

LUMAKRAS/LUMYKRAS (sotorasib): Amgen

LUMAKRAS is approved for adults with KRAS G12C-mutated locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC after at least one prior systemic therapy. The FDA granted accelerated approval in May 2021, followed by authorization in the European Union and approval in Japan. Amgen has reported multiple patents in the United States and Europe that could provide exclusivity through 2040. The company reported approximately USD 211 million in United States LUMAKRAS sales during 2025.

KRAZATI (adagrasib): Bristol Myers Squibb

KRAZATI is an oral therapy for adults with KRAS G12C-mutated locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC following prior systemic treatment. It launched in the United States in December 2022 and received conditional marketing authorization in Europe in January 2024. The development program includes studies in first-line and later-line NSCLC and colorectal cancer. KRAZATI has gained commercial and clinical momentum, although resistance to KRAS G12C inhibition remains a major treatment challenge.

KRAS Inhibitors Pipeline

The late-stage pipeline includes mutation-specific, pan-KRAS, and RAS(ON) programs designed to expand treatment across tumor types and KRAS variants.

  • Olomorasib (LY3537982): Eli Lilly and Company - An investigational second-generation KRAS G12C inhibitor in Phase III NSCLC studies. The FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation for olomorasib in combination with pembrolizumab for selected first-line patients with advanced or metastatic NSCLC.
  • Calderasib (MK-1084): Merck - An investigational selective KRAS G12C inhibitor being studied alone and with pembrolizumab in NSCLC and colorectal cancer. Development is conducted through a collaboration with Taiho Pharmaceutical and Astex Pharmaceuticals.
  • Daraxonrasib: Revolution Medicines - An investigational RAS(ON) multi-selective inhibitor designed for cancers driven by a broad range of RAS mutations. Its development includes pancreatic cancer and combination studies in solid tumors.
  • Divarasib: Roche/Chugai/Genentech - A KRAS G12C candidate under clinical evaluation across relevant solid tumors.
  • Onvansertib: Cardiff Oncology - A clinical-stage candidate being evaluated in RAS-mutated colorectal cancer and associated with potential pan-KRAS activity.
  • ELI-002: Elicio Therapeutics - A therapeutic candidate under investigation for KRAS-driven cancers.

Additional companies targeting KRAS G12D and other high-potential variants include AstraZeneca, Astellas Pharma, PAQ Therapeutics, Tyligand Pharmaceuticals, Verastem Oncology, and GenFleet Therapeutics. These programs may address patient populations not served by current G12C-directed products.

Recent KRAS Inhibitors Market Developments

  • In June 2026, Cardiff Oncology reported positive Phase II CRDF-004 results for onvansertib combined with standard-of-care regimens in first-line RAS-mutated metastatic colorectal cancer.
  • In May 2026, Silexion Therapeutics announced preclinical findings for SIL204 in human KRAS-mutated pancreatic cancer cells.
  • In April 2026, Revolution Medicines reported positive topline Phase III RASolute 302 results for daraxonrasib in previously treated metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
  • In January 2026, Merck initiated the Phase III KANDLELIT-007 trial of calderasib, pembrolizumab, and berahyaluronidase in first-line KRAS G12C-mutant advanced or metastatic non-squamous NSCLC.

KRAS Inhibitors Market Outlook

KRAS G12C inhibitors have established a targeted treatment segment in NSCLC and colorectal cancer, but primary and acquired resistance continue to restrict long-term clinical benefit. The next phase of market growth is expected to come from earlier-line use, combination regimens, additional tumor indications, and therapies directed at G12D and other KRAS variants.

Pan-KRAS and RAS(ON) programs could address a substantially broader patient population than mutation-specific products. Combination strategies involving chemotherapy, immune checkpoint inhibitors, and other targeted agents are also expected to influence treatment sequencing and market share through 2036. Companion diagnostics and biomarker-driven patient selection will remain important to commercial adoption.
