Get a Customized VersionThe global anticancer drugs market is expected to be driven by rise in incidence of cancer, growing healthcare expenditure and improved infrastructure for drug development. The increasing risk factors such as exposure to carcinogens, tobacco and alcohol use, sedentary lifestyles and infections is driving a large cancer burden.
The world health organization estimates that almost 15% of cancers worldwide are caused by carcinogenic infections by causative organisms such as Helicobacter pylori, Human papillomavirus (HPV), Hepatitis B virus, Hepatitis C virus, and Epstein-Barr virus.
Likewise, the increasing success of treatments exhibited by the increasing survival rates is the other factor expected to drive the growth of the anticancer drugs market. The advent of targeted therapy is increasing adoption of anticancer drugs owing to their reduced side effects.
Likewise, favorable reimbursements and the shift of cancer towards developing countries owing to rise in risk factors such as industrialization, sedentary lifestyles, exposure to carcinogens are some of the other key factors expected to propel the revenue growth of the anticancer drugs market.
Additionally, growing awareness regarding early diagnosis and treatment has directed the anticancer drugs market to grow at a significant rate. The developing healthcare infrastructure, government initiatives and healthcare investments are the other factors expected to contribute to the revenue growth of the anticancer drugs market.
Besides, increasing out-of-pocket healthcare expenditure in both developing and developed economies and the development of large cancer specialty hospitals are also expected to boost the growth of the market for anticancer drugs. The growing awareness of breast cancer, improvements in survival rise in women’s income is another driver of the global anticancer drugs market.
However, high cost of anti-cancer drugs, serious side effects, poor quality of life after treatment, and low survival rate owing to difficult to treat cancers such as lung cancer are factors expected to restrict the growth of the global anticancer drugs market over the forecast period.
The global market for anticancer drugs is segmented in to five key regions viz. North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific excluding Japan, Japan and Middle East and Africa (MEA).
North America dominated the global anticancer drugs market accounting a leading share in 2017, and is expected to witness rapid growth over the forecast period. The North America market is dominated by the U.S. owing to its larger economy, attractive reimbursement and larger prevalence of cancers.
Europe, is expected to be led by Germany. The U.K., and France, are other prominent countries expected to witness significant growth in the global market owing to large presence of key players. There has been a definite shift of the diseases towards the Asia Pacific regions such as China, and India. Increase disease incidence in developing regions has increased the market attractiveness of the global market for anticancer drugs owing to higher demand. China and India are driving a large revenue market owing to unmet needs and the high mortality rates of cancer in the region.
Africa region have a lower incidence of cancers. The Middle East and Africa market is expected to be dominated by the gulf economies owing to their high income and growing expanse of healthcare.
