Global Oropharyngeal Cancer Diagnosis and Therapeutics Market Research and Forecast 2018-2023
Oropharyngeal cancer market is a malignant tumour that starts in the cells of the oropharynx. Rising prevalence of oropharyngeal cancer has been the major factor driving the market growth. More than 400,000 incidences of oropharyngeal cancer are reported every year globally. Additionally, increasing geriatric population and rising oropharyngeal cancer associated with them is another factor driving the market growth. Moreover, growing number of smokers and alcohol consumers which are most prone to this cancer has been a major factor for the market growth. Around 1.1 billion people smoked tobacco in 2015 and more than 2 billion people consumed alcoholic drinks globally. Such high number reflects a high chance of oropharyngeal cancer in the consumers.
High costs of oropharyngeal cancer treatment along with low awareness towards this cancer act as major restraints for the market growth. However, ongoing improvements in the healthcare expenditure from government and availability of reimbursements is factor augmenting the market growth. Additionally, rising number of minimally invasive surgeries for treatment of the cancer is expected to drive the future market growth. At present, Transoral laser microsurgery and Transoral robotic surgery are widely adopted minimally invasive surgeries for treatment of oropharyngeal cancer.
