Osteosarcoma Market Share

Osteosarcoma Market Overview

The Osteosarcoma Market is projected to reach USD 0.68 Billion by 2032 at 6.1% CAGR during the forecast period 2023-2032.

Osteosarcoma is a common type of bone cancer that is developed in cells that are responsible for the formation of bones. In very rare conditions osteosarcoma occurs in the soft tissue outside the bones. Generally, it mostly occurs in teenagers, young adults, and older adult population.

The osteosarcoma market is primarily driven by the high incidence of osteosarcoma, rising expenditure on oncology medicine and research, and the rising demand for new treatments. However, the high cost of treatment and side-effects of chemotherapy are hampering the growth of the market.

Market Dynamics

The Osteosarcoma Market is emerging due to the high incidence of osteosarcoma. For instance, the prevalence of primary bone cancer is increasing across the world. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), an estimate of around 3,450 new cases of primary bone cancer was registered in 2018 in the US. A high number of incidences of osteosarcoma would support the growth of the market. According to the American Cancer Society, around 800 to 900 new cases of osteosarcoma are diagnosed in the US each year. The incidence of osteosarcoma is found to be high in adolescents and the geriatric population. Similarly, according to an article published in the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries, about 3,809 incident cases of osteosarcoma were identified in patients aged 40 years or older in 2018.

Moreover, the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program estimated the incident rate of 4.4 cases per 1 million people below the age of 24 years in the US each year. This cumulative prevalence of osteosarcoma along with the rising geriatric population are driving the osteosarcoma market.

Osteosarcoma Market Segment

The Osteosarcoma Market has been segmented into type, diagnosis & treatment, end-user, and region.

On the basis of type, the Osteosarcoma Market has been segmented into intramedullary osteosarcoma, juxtacortical osteosarcoma, and extraskeletal osteosarcoma. Intramedullary osteosarcoma is estimated to account for the largest market share of 80.3% during the forecast period. Intramedullary osteosarcoma is the most common type of osteosarcoma, which represents approximately 75% of all reported osteosarcoma cases recorded globally. Usually, intramedullary osteosarcoma occurs in children and adults. This type of osteosarcoma is bimodal and primarily peaks during adolescence, and the second peak occurs in adulthood. The distal femur and proximal tibia are two primary sites affected by intramedullary osteosarcoma.

On the basis of diagnosis & treatment, the osteosarcoma market has been segregated into treatment and diagnosis. The treatment segment is further segmented into chemotherapy, surgery, radiation therapy, and others. The chemotherapy segment includes cisplatin, doxorubicin, epirubicin, and others. The surgery segment includes limb-sparing surgery and amputation.

The diagnosis segment is further segmented into imaging, biopsies, and blood tests. The imaging segment includes computerized tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), X-Ray, positron emission tomography (PET) and others. The biopsies segment includes needle biopsy and surgical biopsy. The blood tests segment includes alkaline phosphatase profiling, lactate dehydrogenase profiling, and others.

On the basis of end-user, the osteosarcoma market has been segmented into hospitals & clinics, diagnostic centers, and academic & research organizations. Its hold largest market share can be attributed to an increase in the number of patients who have cancer, coupled with a rise in a number of hospitals, and quality care, and availability of skilled and qualified professionals.
