Market Dynamics

Substantial increase in number of patients suffering from chronic diseases and rise in mortality due to glioma are major factors expected to increase demand for enhanced diagnostic and treatment this is expected to drive the growth of global glioma diagnosis market. According to the National Brain Tumor Society, it is estimated that more than 10,000 individuals in the United States will succumb to glioblastoma every year. The five-year survival rate for glioblastoma patients is only 6.8 percent, and the average length of survival for glioblastoma patients is estimated to be only 12 to 18 months. Changing lifestyle pattern of consumers is impacting health. People exposed to a type of radiation called ionizing radiation have an increased risk of brain tumor this is increasing the risk of glioma. Availability of advanced infrastructure in developed countries is helping healthcare professionals to treat glioma. Their approach towards biopsy, MRI is gaining important in order to detect cancer and aid in treating the patients. Government is focused on delivering enhance solutions to patients. Collaborative approach among government and public players for R&D activities and on-time approvals for clinical trials is expected to impact the growth of glioma diagnosis market.

In 2020, FDA approved the investigational new drug application for Berubicin for the treatment of adult patients with glioblastoma to CNS Pharmaceuticals. The approval is expected to help the company to begin administering the drug or product to humans. This is expected to help the company to enhance the clinical trials and introduce novel solutions in the market.

In 2020, Plus Therapeutics, a global drug manufacturing company received FDA approval orphan drug designation to rhenium nanoliposomes for the treatment of patients with recurrent glioblastoma. The designation is expected to help the company to qualify for various incentives, including tax credits for qualified clinical trials and upon regulatory approval 7 years of market exclusivity. This is expected to help the company to enhance the business and increase the product portfolio.

Rise in number of geriatric population across the globe and growing brain tumor problems among old age people is expected to increase demand better, minimal invasive diagnostic procedures are expected to support the growth of target market. Factors such as high cost associated to diagnosis and surgery and lack of reimbursement policies are expected to hamper the growth of global glioma diagnosis market. In addition, lack of developed infrastructure in developing countries in order to adopt advanced devices is expected to challenge the growth of target market. However, increasing investment by major players for R&D activities and rising spending by the government for development of hospital infrastructure in order to deliver enhanced care are factors expected to create new opportunities for players operating in the glioma diagnosis market over the forecast period. In addition, players focus towards tracking the untapped market in developing countries is expected to support the revenue transaction of the target market.
