The global oral mucositis market size was estimated at USD 1.50 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 2.85 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 7.35% from 2025 to 2033. The rising clinical burden of Oral Mucositis (OM) is one of the major factors driving the market growth for oral mucositis.
OM is a frequent complication of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and increasing cancer treatment further impacts the OM market positively. In addition, the growing awareness of supportive care options and the need to improve patients' quality of life during cancer treatment are boosting market demand. Continuous research and development in preventive and therapeutic interventions for oral mucositis is also driving the market's growth.
Increasing cases of cancer day by day are driving growth in the oral mucositis industry. The World Health Organization (WHO) projects over 35 million new cancer cases by 2050, a 77% increase from an estimated 20 million cases in 2022, reflecting both population aging and growth. This increase leads to a larger number of patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy, which frequently results in oral mucositis as a side effect. Furthermore, improvements in cancer therapies have enhanced survival rates, expanding the population requiring supportive care. Demand for effective oral mucositis treatments is increasing, and the market is growing.
Advancements in regular clinical assessment and management guidelines support oral mucositis treatment. In June 2024, the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer (MASCC) and the International Society of Oral Oncology (ISOO) released updated guidance recommending the WHO Oral Toxicity Scale for OM assessment in clinical trials. This global standard assists in standardizing assessment within various evaluation environments, such as radiotherapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). These guidelines will help ensure better patient monitoring, accelerate the development of new treatments, and promote effective OM interventions more widely, which is expected to drive market growth.
