Market Trends of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Therapeutics Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Therapeutics Market according to our research experts:
Chemotherapy is Expected to Dominate the Type of Therapy Segment
The American Cancer Association stated that chemotherapy is the main treatment for the people suffering from acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and it has three phases, such as remission, consolidation, and maintenance. Chemotherapy uses cytotoxic drugs for the destruction of cancer cells.
Amsacrine (NordMedica), cyclophosphamide (Baxter), and cytarabine (Pfizer) are some of the drugs that are used for chemotherapy in ALL. Global pharmaceutical players, such as Baxter International, and Pfizer, are providing these drugs. ALL is the most common cancer in children, adolescents, and young adults younger than 20 years, accounting for 19.8% of all cancer cases in this age group, as per a 2019 report by the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Hence, the market for chemotherapy is also expected to boost due to high prevalence of ALL, especially among children.
North America to Dominate the Market Over the Forecast Period
North America is expected to dominate this market, due to the rising number of cases of this disease in the region, owing to genetic factors, environmental factors, and radiation. Moreover, favorable government policies, well-established healthcare infrastructure, and the presence of multinational companies make this region dominant in this market.
Asia-Pacific is also expected to register a high CAGR during the forecast period, owing to several factors, such as high unmet clinical needs, huge patient pool, and the rising awareness about early diagnosis in emerging countries.
