Alecensa is showing a strong position in the targeted therapy market for ALK-positive lung cancer in Korea. Last year, Alecensa generated KRW 34.9 billion in sales, far outpacing the runner-up, Takeda Alunbrig's KRW 13.6 billion. As the only ALK-targeted therapy that has demonstrated efficacy in early-stage lung cancer, Alecensa is likely to continue its lead in the market for the foreseeable future.

According to the market institution IQVIA on the 22nd, Alecensa sold KRW 34.9 billion last year, up 0.5% from KRW 34.7 billion in 2022. Alecensa's sales have been on a steady rise since surpassing KRW 5 billion in Q3 2019 and have posted average quarterly sales of over KRW 8 billion since 2021.
