A recent report by Fairfield Market Research highlights that the global bile duct cancer treatment market is expected to witness a robust growth between 2024 and 2031. However, the market faces significant challenges, primarily driven by cost-related factors.
Bile duct cancer and liver cancer cases have seen a concerning increase in North America in recent years. It is estimated that approximately 6,000 individuals are diagnosed with bile duct cancer each year in the United States. Alarmingly, the majority of those affected fall within the age group of 70 to 75 years.
Advancements in endoscopic imaging techniques and minimally-invasive high-tech stone retrieval products have emerged as key drivers for the growth of the pancreatic and bile duct stone management market. This segment is expected to witness a double-digit CAGR in the coming years.
A notable observation is that Asians are more prone to contracting bile duct cancers compared to non-Hispanic blacks and whites. Currently, the primary line of therapy for bile duct cancers involves chemotherapy, and it is expected to maintain the largest market share in the foreseeable future as alternative treatment methods take time to gain acceptance.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has initiated accelerated approvals to expedite the introduction of these therapies into the bile duct cancer treatment market, aiming to provide patients with faster access to treatments.
One significant factor restraining the growth of the Bile Duct Cancer Treatment Market is the cost associated with cancer treatment. The American Society of Clinical Oncology has highlighted a significant disparity in cancer treatment costs between developed and developing countries. Furthermore, restrictions on importing prescription medicines into the United States from foreign countries exacerbate the issue.
These price disparities are likely to hinder the Bile Duct Cancer Treatment Market in the United States. While medical tourism has thrived in Asian economies such as India, Singapore, and Malaysia, the COVID-19 pandemic has imposed travel restrictions, impacting this avenue for affordable treatment.
Key players in the Bile Duct Cancer Treatment Market include: ConMed Corporation, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Johnson & Johnson, Novartis AG, Sanofi, F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd., Pfizer, Inc., Celgene Corp, Bayer AG, and Boston Scientific Corporation. These companies play a pivotal role in advancing treatment options and addressing the challenges faced by the market.
