Regional Market Summary

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) drugs market Share (%), by Region, 2018  

Sources: MRFR Analysis

The Americas dominated the global MDS drugs market, owing to the increasing number of patients detected with MDS yearly. According to the statistics published by the American Society of Clinical Oncology in 2019, around 10,000 patients are detected with MDS in the US yearly.

In the European region, various studies have been performed to study the prevalence of MDS across different age groups. For instance, the National Institutes of Health conducted a successive study among children with MDS for 15 years. Under the study, 426 children were investigated for Germline GATA-2 mutations and primary MDS. The studies revealed that Germline GATA-2 mutations highly prevailed in patients with monosomy 7 type of mutation. Thus, the European region has a potential scope for the MDS drugs market.

Asia-Pacific is expected to grow owing to the rising research and development activities in this region.  The study of clinical features is very important before proceeding for treatment methodology for a patient. As per the study published in the Leukemia Journal in 2018, the difference in clinical features among the Japanese and Caucasian patients with myelodysplastic syndromes was noticed. The study revealed that; chronic lymphocytic leukemia is more frequent in the Caucasians population than the Japanese population. This could be due to susceptibility specific location of the genome. Thus, the MDS drugs market in APAC is predicted to gain the third-largest market share.

The Middle East and Africa held the least share in the myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) drugs market due to low economic development, especially within the African region.
