Bladder Cancer Market: By Type (Transitional Cell Carcinoma, Invasive Bladder Cancer), by Treatment (Chemotherapy, Radiation Therapy, Immunotherapy), by Diagnosis (Urine Lab Tests, Imaging Test), by End-User (Hospital, Clinic) - Global Forecast to 2030

Bladder Cancer Market Scenario

The bladder cancer market is expected to grow at CAGR of 4.6% to reach USD 7.63 billion during the forecast period, 2022–2030. The bladder is an organ present in the lower abdomen region near the pelvis. The main function of the bladder is temporary storage of the urine drained from the kidneys. The tube that connects and transfers the urine from the kidney to the bladder is known as ureters. Bladder cancer is one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers and is ranked 9th as per the prevalence rate. This condition is more prevalent in men as compared to women, yet it varies in different countries.

Bladder cancer is known to be a urologic malignancy that occurs in the tissues of the urinary bladder. It is generally characterized by the uncontrolled division of cells arising from the epithelial lining and may proliferate to the muscular wall of the urinary bladder. The exact causes of bladder cancer are still unknown.

Conversely, some of the risk factors include chronic bladder infection, continuous exposure to radiation, tobacco consumption, and excessive smoking. This condition can affect any age group. However, it is more prevalent in adults aged over 50 years. Moreover, the witnessed global trends show that smoking tobacco is the most prevalent cause of bladder cancer.

The increasing bladder cancer cases, technological developments, drug innovations about the bladder cancer, government initiatives, rise in aging population, advanced health care services, the upsurge in awareness about bladder diseases and their available therapies in the market, and increasing health care expenditure are likely to drive the bladder cancer market globally.

However, the rise in the number of drug patent expirations, the rise in the use of generic drugs, asymptomatic nature of the disease, high costs of therapies, and inaccurate and unaffordable diagnosis may restrain the growth of the market. Moreover, factors such as increasing awareness about bladder cancer, progressive health care services with growing health care expenditure, acceptance of effective diagnostic tools, and rising influence of targeted biologics are expected to propel the global bladder cancer market.
