Pituitary Cancer Market Growth Accelerated by Rising Incidences of Neoplasms
Pituitary cancer refers to rare neoplasms that develop in the pituitary gland which is located at the base of the brain. Pituitary cancers, also known as pituitary adenomas, are typically benign tumors but some may become cancerous. Over the years, there has been a rise in the incidences of various types of brain and central nervous system cancers including pituitary cancer, mainly due to factors such as changing lifestyle and increased environmental pollution. The global pituitary cancer market is estimated to be valued at US$ 114.5 million in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 9.6% over the forecast period 2023-2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
The rising incidences of neoplasms has been a key driver encouraging the growth of the pituitary cancer market. According to the American Cancer Society, the number of pituitary cancer cases being reported each year is increasing at an alarming rate. Between 2019-2023, nearly 8,000 new cases of pituitary cancer were reported annually representing a CAGR increase of 9% over the past decade. Factors such as obesity, radiation exposure and certain genetic conditions are contributing to the growing prevalence of pituitary cancer. As a result, patients are increasingly seeking effective treatment options thereby prompting pharmaceutical companies to invest in research and development of advanced pituitary cancer drugs to meet the growing clinical demand. This is expected to fuel the market growth over the forecast period.
Segment Analysis
Pituitary cancer can be broadly classified into two main segments - functioning pituitary adenomas and non-functioning pituitary adenomas. The functioning adenomas sub-segment is currently dominating the market as these types of cancers secrete hormones which can be easily diagnosed at an early stage. Early diagnosis ensures timely treatment leading to positive clinical outcomes. Some of the major functioning pituitary adenomas include prolactin-secreting adenomas, ACTH-secreting adenomas, TSH-secreting adenomas, and GH-secreting adenomas. Among these, prolactin-secreting adenomas dominate the functioning pituitary adenomas segment.
