Bladder Cancer Market Trends

• The increasing awareness about bladder diseases and available therapies is driving the market growth

Due to rising healthcare costs, expanding healthcare spending, and the mounting incidence of bladder cancer, the market for treatments and diagnostics for bladder cancer may experience substantial expansion. For instance, the World Bladder Cancer Patient Coalition has declared March 2022 to be "Don't Go Red" Month for Bladder Cancer knowledge in an effort to increase public knowledge of the disease's warning signs and symptoms. Early detection is essential for improving long-term survival and quality of life. Over the forecast period, such activities are anticipated to promote market growth. Additionally, the market's rise over the projected period is supported by the rising prevalence of bladder cancer worldwide. For instance, according to the Global Cancer Observatory Statistics 2020, prostate and bladder cancer are two of the ten cancers with the highest incidence rates worldwide. According to the same source, there will likely be 573,278 new instances of bladder cancer and 1,414,259 new cases of prostate cancer among both sexes in 2020. The global incidence of cancer is driving the market forward throughout time.

The market is also expected to be driven by a number of strategies used by the major industry competitors, such as product launches and mergers and acquisitions. For instance, Merck, also known as MSD outside of the United States and Canada, reported a label update for KEYTRUDA, its anti-PD-1 medication, in August 2021 for first-line advanced urothelial carcinoma (bladder cancer) in the United States.

The 10th most frequent cancer in the world is bladder cancer. For instance, the American Cancer Society reports that around 83,730 people in the United States will receive a bladder cancer diagnosis in 2021. Additionally, $1.18 million in charitable donations and university investments were used to build bladder cancer research centres at the University of Birmingham in the UK. The ageing population, which is more susceptible to bladder cancer, is another factor driving market expansion throughout the predicted period. Due to weakened immune cells that fight against cancerous bladder tissue, the elderly are more susceptible to urinary tract cancer. In January 2021, the American society of clinical oncology (ASCO) organisation reported that 90% of bladder cancer patients were over the age of 55.  The American Cancer Society reported in 2019 that smoking and job exposure can both contribute to the development of bladder cancer. Thus, driving the Bladder Cancer market revenue.

Bladder Cancer Market Segment Insights:

Bladder Cancer Type Insights

The Bladder Cancer Market segmentation, based on type, includes transitional cell carcinoma, invasive bladder cancer, superficial bladder cancer, adenocarcinomax, and other rare types. Transitional cell carcinoma segment dominated the global market in 2022. The infrastructures for healthcare in wealthy and developing nations have improved as a result. During the forecast period, the global bladder cancer therapeutics market is predicted to experience rapid growth in the superficial bladder cancer segment. This segment's expansion is due to rising awareness of superficial bladder disease, improved healthcare infrastructures in developed and developing nations, and technological advancements.

Bladder Cancer Treatment Insights

The Bladder Cancer Market segmentation, based on Treatment, includes chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, radical cystectomy, and others. The chemotherapy segment dominated the global market in 2022. The several chemotherapeutic medications in 2021 are to blame for this. On the other hand, the market for bladder cancer therapies is expected to demonstrate a good growth rate for the immunotherapy category. The rising incidence of the targeted diseases, the growing preference for immunotherapy over traditional therapies, and the expanding need for monoclonal antibodies and biosimilars are the main drivers of the immunotherapy segment growth.

Bladder Cancer Diagnosis Insights

The Bladder Cancer Market segmentation, based on diagnosis, includes urine lab tests, cystoscopy, biopsy, imaging test, and others. Cystoscopy segment dominated the Bladder Cancer Market in 2022. Using a telescope, the bladder and urethra's innards are viewed during a procedure known as a cystoscopy. In order to do a direct visual examination of the urothelium, a cystoscope is a specialised endoscope that is introduced through the urethra into the bladder. Cystoscopy is economical. The increasing use of cystoscopy, the rising incidence of bladder cancer, and product debuts by major market players all contribute to the growth of this market segment.

Bladder Cancer End User Insights

The Bladder Cancer Market segmentation, based on end user, includes hospital, clinic, cancer care centers, and others. The hospital segment dominated the Bladder Cancer Market in 2022. The increased usage of technologically improved treatment alternatives in hospitals around the world is responsible for this.
