Growth Drivers:
Ever-growing number of Patients
The number of patients affected by different types of cancer such as lung, colorectal and breast cancer are increasing day by day due to different reasons. According to a report published by WHO, 2018, lung cancer is predominant among cancers and caused approximately 1.69 million deaths in 2015. This ever-growing patient population is expected to boost the growth of the oncology medical devices market.
Increase in Consumption of Tobacco Products
In developing countries such as Brazil, China and India, the people who are consuming tobacco products are increasing which is a major cause of lung cancer among the patient population. The increase in consumption of tobacco products is expected to propel the growth of oncology medical devices market.
Help in diagnosis and treatment
The oncology medical devices prove very helpful in diagnosis and treatment of cancer which is expected to boost the growth of the oncology medical devices market.
Restraints
High cost of oncology devices
Since the oncology devices are used to treat and diagnose cancer, it is very important that the device should provide proper information and possess up to date technology so that there should not be any discrepancy at a later stage. To keep the devices up to date and their perfect functioning, high costs are to be born. The high cost of oncology devices is expected to hamper the growth of the oncology medical devices market.
Stringent approval process
The oncology medical devices are used for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer which is a fatal disease. If there is any discrepancy in the devices that can prove fatal for a patient which means that there is no scope for discrepancy or any short comings in the oncology medical devices. Stringent government rules are projected to hamper the growth of oncology medical devices market in the next few years.
Side effects of the therapy
There can be side effects of the therapy such as local swelling, local bruising, and others which can impede the growth of the oncology medical devices market.
