The Europe region shows significant growth during the forecast period. This is due to the rising prevalence of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, respiratory disorders, and metabolic conditions that is driving the demand for CPET in Europe. CPET provides valuable diagnostic and prognostic information for these conditions, aiding in personalized treatment and management strategies. As per the European Survey of Cardiovascular Disease by Daiichi Sankyo Europe GmbH (Germany), there were approximately 60 million people living with CVD, and 13 million new cases were diagnosed in 2020.
Asia Pacific region is fastest growing region in market in 2022 owing to factors such as the owing to high applications of CPET in the geriatric population as aging populations are more prone to CVDs. As per the Asia-Pacific Report on Population Ageing 2022, there were approximately 670 million people aged 60 or older in Asia-Pacific in 2022.
The rest of the world Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing market is segmented into major regions, namely the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America. The rest of the world region is comprised of the Middle East, Latin America, and Africa. The increasing prevalence of CVDs is an imperative factor to consider for the region’s growth. As per the World Heart Federation, more than 1 million deaths occurred due to CVD in sub-Saharan Africa in 2019. Furthermore, 1.4 million people die each year in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
Furthermore, rising cases of lung cancer which CPET utilizes in preoperative and postoperative settings for measuring oxygen levels, are another driving factor for market growth. As per GLOBOCAN 2020, the incidence of lung cancer was 45,988 and mortality was 41,171 in both sexes in Africa.
