Growth Drivers
Increasing Consumption of Tobacco and Cigarettes - As of 2020, about 12 out of 100 adults in the United States were noticed to be smoking cigarettes. Tobacco and cigarettes are the leading cause of cancer and they are still highly consumed by adults. The prevalence of tobacco and cigarette consumption is generally high in every region. Hence, such a mounting consumption is estimated to foster the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Mounting Number of Geriatric Population – As people start to age, their body weakens and body organs start to deteriorate. As a result, they are more prone to cancer and other chronic diseases. According to the data released by the World Bank, the number of geriatrics was noticed to be 747,238,580 in 2021 around the world.
Growing Healthcare Expenditure per Capita – With the growing economies, the spending capacity of individuals also rose during the recent period. As a result, the spending on health and fitness increased, subsequently increasing the sales of oncology active pharmaceutical ingredients in the assessment period. Hence, the increased healthcare expenditure is attributed to generating significant revenue in the next years. A report from World Health Organization (WHO) stated that global spending on health increased steadily throughout the period of 2000 to 2018, ultimately reaching approximately USD 8 trillion or 10% of global GDP.
Higher Prevalence of Medication Errors- For instance, reports of medication errors received by the U.S. FDA were stated to be more than 100,000 in 2019 in the United States region.
Challenges
The global oncology active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by type of cancer into breast, cervical, lung, liver, colorectal, and others. Amongst these segments, the breast cancer segment is projected to acquire the largest market share over the forecast period on the back of rising cases of breast cancer. World Health Organization (WHO) showed that in 2020 around 2.26 million cases of breast cancer were diagnosed across the globe. The rising number of deaths owing to breast cancer along with the increased difficulties among patients owing to breast cancer is estimated to increase the demand for oncology active pharmaceutical ingredients in the next few years.
The global oncology active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by synthesis type into synthetic oncology APIs, and biotech oncology APIs. Out of these two segments, the synthetic oncology APIs segment is anticipated to garner the highest market share owing to the high advantages and benefits offered by them. Low cost for manufacturing synthetic oncology active pharmaceutical ingredients owing to the fewer costs of the raw materials used is considered to be the major factor for segment expansion. Furthermore, the easy process of manufacturing coupled with less complex processes is another factor that is projected to create a positive outlook for segment growth during the analysis period.
