Worldwide Melanoma Treatment Industry to 2027 - Players Include Novartis, Pfizer, Sanofi and AstraZeneca - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "Melanoma Treatment Market - Forecasts from 2022 to 2027" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

In recent years, there has been a rise in the number of new cases reported due to climatic changes. These changes are increasing the incidence of melanoma patients worldwide, raising the demand for proper methods of treatment. If detected and treated early, the disease is almost always curable.

The rising per capita income, better health facilities, growing health awareness, the availability of health insurance services, and advancement in medical science and bio-medicines are additionally factoring in the expansion of the market.

Geographically, North America dominates the market share. The high prevalence of skin-related cancer in the United States is a major factor contributing to the market's growth. By type, cutaneous melanoma is widely spread globally caused by too much exposure to ultraviolet rays from the sun and indoor tanning. Based on therapy, targeted therapy is gaining the market share due to lesser side effects and high efficiency rates.

Growth Factors

Growing regulatory approvals

The high emphasis and consequently the elevated investment in the development of efficient treatment options are likely to have a positive impact on the growth of the market. Treatment recommendations depend on many factors, and the increasing number of regulatory approvals has made the highest impact on market growth.

In 2021, Aldesleukin, Binimetinib, Braftovi (Encorafenib), Cobimetinib Fumarate, Cotellic (Cobimetinib Fumarate), Dabrafenib Mesylate, etc. were some of the approved drugs for the treatment by FDA. The emphasis of significant companies on introducing innovative treatment options and drugs will aid the market's growth in the coming years.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Melanoma Treatment Market

The pandemic has had a lagging effect on various diagnostic methods due to several restrictions and risk exposure of the comorbidity patients. A drastic reduction in skin biopsies was seen early in the COVID-19 pandemic, which disproportionately affected the elderly, females, and certain geographic regions. Efforts have been made by the government to contain the situation without further delay.
