Advancements in radiation therapy and expected increase in number of bladder cancer patients is expected to help the growth of this market.
Competitive Landscape
Most of the global players are present in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region of the Middle East and Africa (MEA) owing to factors such as economic growth in the last few decades.
The Africa region consists of some developing and underdeveloped countries. The healthcare systems in these countries are still not well structured and stable, due to the lack of essential funds. However, with recent foreign investments, the healthcare scenario is improving in the region. Hence the market in this region, though not large, is expected to grow in the future.
