Market Overview
The Nasopharyngeal Cancer market is expected to witness a steady CAGR of 2.7% during the forecast period. Certain factors that are driving the market growth include a moderate rise in the burden of the disease and growing awareness towards diagnosis and treatment. According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) 2018 report, estimates that there were about 129,000 new cases of nasopharyngeal cancer in 2018. Moreover, it is estimated that about 50,455 new cases of nasopharyngeal cancer will occur from 2018 to 2040.
There is a growing awareness of the diagnosis and treatment of nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC). Traditionally the public perception regarding nasopharyngeal cancer was very weak due to lack of government initiatives and low incidence rate of the disease. To increase community awareness for ethnicities, which are predisposed to nasopharyngeal cancer, various primary healthcare centers have started awareness campaigns to increase the awareness of nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC). Consequently, greater adoption of nasopharyngeal cancer diagnosis and treatment is being witnessed, which is driving the growth of the global nasopharyngeal cancer market.
Scope of the Report
As per the scope of the report, nasopharyngeal cancer is a disease in which malignant cancer cells form in the tissues of the nasopharynx (the upper part of the throat behind the nose). Among many factors, ethnic background along with being exposed to the Epstein-Barr virus can affect the risk of nasopharyngeal cancer. The nasopharyngeal cancer market is segmented by therapy, end-user and geography.

Key Market Trends
Radiation Therapy Segment is Expected to Hold a Major Market Share in the Nasopharyngeal Cancer Market
Radiation therapy forms the primary modality of treatment in nasopharyngeal cancer. It is closely followed by chemotherapy in terms of both market share and use-case in patients. Newer and advanced modalities of nasopharyngeal cancer treatment include a combination of both radiotherapy and chemotherapy techniques. These treatment modalities are still in early clinical phases and will make a commercial appearance late during the end of the forecast period or maybe even after that. Furthermore, according to the American Cancer Society, nasopharyngeal cancer is much more common in certain parts of South Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa. In some parts of China, there are as many as 21 cases per 100,000 people each year. Thus, owing to the above factors the segment is expected to show growth in the near future.
