Enhanced development and research may present market opportunities
The increasing research and development is focused on improving detection methods and screening. Mammography is a widely used screening tool, especially in women with dense breast problems. Research is ongoing to develop more sensitive and accurate screening methods, such as 3D mammography and breast MRI. In addition, researchers are exploring the use of biomarkers to detect breast cancer, such as proteins and genetic markers. Furthermore, another area of research and development is focusing on enhancing the efficiency of breast cancer diagnosis. There is room for reducing the need for invasive procedures and improvement in terms of accuracy while biopsy and mammography are currently used to diagnose breast cancer, which may further create significant growth opportunities in the breast cancer market.
Side effects of treatment for breast cancer hamper market growth
The negative impact of treatments includes things such as gastrointestinal issues, high blood pressure, skin conditions, mouth ulcers, diarrhea, nausea, and many more. These factors could make it challenging for the market to growth in size, which may present diverse effects, which could also make cancer people feel weaker. In addition, due to increased adverse events associated with targeted chemotherapy and immunotherapy, the market size may also change and further restrain the growth of the breast cancer market.
The targeted therapy segment dominated the breast cancer market in 2024. The segment growth in the market is attributed to the enhanced performance and increased output with new launches included in the medications and increasing utilization of breast cancer therapy. Whereas the hormonal therapy segment is expected to grow fastest during the forecast period. Hormonal therapy is used to shrink a cancer before surgery to reduce the risk that the cancer might return.
The hormone receptor segment dominated the breast cancer market in 2024. The segment growth in the market is driven by rising technological advancements and an increasing number of cases of breast cancer. In addition, the HER2 segment is expected to grow fastest during the forecast period. HER2 breast cancer is a treatable disease, and outcomes have dramatically improved for these patients with the development of HER2-targeted agents.
The hospital pharmacies segment dominated the breast cancer market in 2024. The segment growth in the market is attributed to the increasing demands from patients for various medications and increased dependence of the patients on the medications. Furthermore, the online pharmacies segment is expected to grow fastest during the forecast period due to the increased connectivity help, increased online pharmacies, increased online prescriptions in the hospital, and increased software development in the hospital.
North America dominated the breast cancer market in 2024. The market growth in the region is attributed to the increasing efficacy of the medications, increasing government initiatives in developing new drugs, increasing the number of cancer patients, and increased market share in breast cancer. The U.S. and Canada are dominating countries driving the market growth. Breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed among women in the U.S.
For instance, approximately 316,950 women will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer, with 59,080 new cases of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), which is non-invasive in the U.S., in 2025. About 42,170 women will die from breast cancer in 2025.
Asia Pacific Breast Cancer Market Trends
Asia Pacific is expected to grow fastest during the forecast period. The market growth in the region is driven by increasing demand for breast cancer treatments and medication and an increasing number of breast cancer patients. China, India, Japan, and South Korea are the fastest growing countries in the region. Breast cancer accounts for a substantial proportion of all cancer cases and deaths in India with a cumulative risk of 2.81. With a mortality rate of 12.7 per 100,000 women and an age-adjusted rate as high as 25.8 per 100,000 women, breast cancer is the most common cancer among Indian females. As a result, the increasing prevalence of breast cancer in Indian women necessitates a comprehensive approach focusing on lifestyle changes, early detection, and awareness, which may further be expected to drive the growth of the breast cancer market in India.
