The tacrolimus market comprises drugs that suppresses the immune system by blocking T-cell activation. Tacrolimus is majorly used to prevent rejection in organ transplant such as kidney, liver and heart transplants. It works by inhibiting calcineurin, which prevents the activation of T-cells, thereby suppressing the immune system. The increasing organ transplantation procedures and rising awareness regarding organ donation have augmented the demand for immunosuppressants including tacrolimus. As per the statistics provided by the Global Observatory on Donation and Transplantation, around 140,000 solid organ transplantations are performed each year globally. Moreover, the launch of generic versions of tacrolimus drugs has made the treatment affordable and more accessible. The rising prevalence of autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis etc. have also propelled the adoption of tacrolimus.

The Global tacrolimus Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 7822.21 Bn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 7.1% over the forecast period 2024 to 2031.
