COLORECTAL CANCER DRUGS MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

As per the type, the market is classified as follows: Adenocarcinoma, Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GIST), Lymphoma, Carcinoids, Turcot Syndrome, Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome (PJS), Familial Colorectal, Cancer (FCC), and Juvenile Polyposis Coli. The colorectal adenocarcinoma category is expected to increase the growth of the colorectal cancer drugs market share. This is partly because colorectal adenocarcinoma accounts for a significant number of occurrences of colorectal cancer globally.

By Application

Based on application, the market is segmented as follows: Targeted drug and Non-Targeted drug. The sector of targeted therapy is thought to hold the largest colorectal cancer drugs market share among them.

DRIVING FACTORS

Inexpensive Treatments Offered by Government to Facilitate Market Development

During the forecast period, the colorectal cancer drugs market is anticipated to grow moderately. Colorectal cancer drugs market expansion is projected to be fueled by elements like the appearance of more front-line medicines, forthcoming releases of potential pipeline prospects, and supportive government initiatives. Major motivating factors for this condition include the aging population and growing public knowledge of it. Growth in the colorectal cancer drugs market is anticipated to be fueled by government attempts to offer better and more inexpensive treatments as well as advantageous reimbursement regulations. The colorectal cancer drugs market is anticipated to be driven by rising consumer acceptance of cutting-edge treatments including Stivarga (regorafenib), Erbitux (cetuximab), and Avastin (bevacizumab).

Rising Prevalence of Colorectal Cancer to Promote Industry Progress

The prevalence of colorectal cancer has been rising on a global scale. For instance, according to research based on data from the National Center for Health Statistics and published in ACS Publications, a US-based scientific publication, 147,950 people would receive a CRC diagnosis and 53,200 would die from it in March 2020. There will be 17,930 cases and fatalities out of these totals in people under 50. By 2037, there will be 672,400 incident instances of colorectal cancer, a 27.3% increase over the current figure. A low-fiber diet, obesity, and the use of alcohol and tobacco, among other things, are some of the causes of this increase. The worldwide colorectal cancer drugs market will grow in size as the number of cases of the disease rises.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Targeted Therapies to Hinder Market Growth

The bladder cancer drug industry is constrained by the rising use of biologics and targeted therapy. Instead of using chemical medications that weaken the body's immune system, biological therapy harnesses the body's immune system to fight cancer. Even in stage IV, where chemical drugs are useless, targeted therapy stops the growth and spread of colorectal cancer. For instance, bevacizumab, cetuximab, and panitumumab are a few targeted treatments that have been approved for the treatment of colorectal cancer. The benefits of targeted therapies and biological medications over traditional chemical medications could have a detrimental impact on the colorectal cancer drugs market growth.
