Thymus Cancer Market Size, Share & Trend | Industry Analysis Report, 2025

Thymus is an irregular shape gland which is located under the breastbone (sternum) in upper chest. The organ is divided into two halves known as lobes and is made up of many small bumps called as lobules. Thymus plays an important role in maintaining the body’s immune system. During fetal development and childhood thymus gland is involved in the production and maturation of T lymphocytes (T cells). T cells are developed in the thymus and travel to lymph nodes throughout the body. These T cells are responsible for fighting against viruses, bacteria, fungi and various other infection causing agent. Thymus gland is fully developed at the age of puberty but gradually the gland shrinks and becomes inactive. However, the gland continues to produce T cells until old age.
Thymus cancers (Thymomas and thymic cancers) are rare tumors and originate from thymic epithelial cells. It is estimated, in the U.S that approximately 400 cases per year are diagnosed for thymus cancers. People suffering from thymomas show symptoms of shortness of breath, cough, chest pain, weight loss and others. The cancer is benign and people aged between 40 years and 60 years are usually diagnosed with thymomas. As thymus gland is involved in production of T cells, people suffering from thymus cancers tend to show immune system related illness. For, instance 30% to 50% of people suffering from thymomas show myasthenia gravis (MG), disease condition in which immune system forms antibodies for blocking chemical signals required for muscle movement.
Currently, thymus cancers are diagnosed with the help of various tests including chest X-ray, CT scan, PET scan, Needle biopsy, MRI scan, thoracoscopy and mediastinoscopy. Additionally, surgery and chemotherapy are the main treatment options available for the removal of thymus cancers. Further, clinical trials are being conducted for the treatment of thymus cancer. Some of major players involved in conducting clinical trial therapeutics are Novartis AG, Enzon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Nerviano Medical Sciences S.r.l.

Custom Primer Generation Service Market: Growth Analysis, Trends and Scope till 2024

Primer is a small strand of DNA or RNA used in DNA synthesis as a preliminary point. The size of primers is generally not more than 30 nucleotides and these exactly match the end and beginning of the DNA section to be amplified. The primers adhere at the beginning and endpoint of DNA template, where DNA polymerase muddles and initiates the production of the new DNA strand.
The temperature, at which half of DNA molecule types form a stable double helix and remaining half are detached to solitary strand molecule, is called melting temperature of primer, generally between about 55 °C and 65 °C. Melting temperature is required to increase the length of primer and the temperature is decreased to stop or limit the length. Primers that are too small would adhere at numerous places on a lengthy DNA template, and results in non-specific copies. The primer sequence should be unique in nature to avoid the possibility of mishybridization to a similar sequence nearby.

Canal Hearing Aids Market: Shares, Strategies and Forecasts, Analysis and Overview upto 2025

Hearing aid is a small device used by a hearing-impaired person to amplify sound in order to capture it through an ear. Initially, ear devices were designed to gather sound energy in order to pass it into the ear canal. Modern devices are made of computerized electroacoustic systems that help to transform sound in a more intelligible and comfortable way. Audiologists play a vital role in configuring these devices in order to match the frequency with the physical features and lifestyle of the wearer. Hearing aid is not a solution for correction of hearing loss, rather to make the sound accessible to the ear. Various types of hearing instruments are available in different sizes, power, and circuitry.
In terms of type of hearing loss, the canal hearing aids market has been segmented into sensorineural hearing loss and conductive hearing loss. The sensorineural hearing loss segment is expected to grow at significant pace than the conductive hearing loss segment. Sensorineural hearing loss may result in missing or damage of sensory cells in the cochlea. With the help of hearing aids or implants, mild to severe sensorineural hearing loss can be rectified. Based on product type, the market has been categorized into in-the-canal, completely-in-canal, and invisible-in-canal. In terms of end-user, the canal hearing aids market has been segmented into adult canal hearing aids and pediatric canal hearing aids. High incidence of hearing loss due to noise pollution level and rising geriatric population fuel the growth of the market. Shortage of technical audiologists or hearing instrument specialists is restraining the global market. Several companies are developing devices that can be embedded in the ear and are not visible to reduce/prevent the social disgrace associated with such devices. Technological advancement and innovative connectivity features in devices help users have a better quality of life. Furthermore, introduction of digital signal processing devices, reduction in noise devices, and enhancement of speech features are expected to fuel the growth of the market.
The oldest strata above 85 years is becoming the fastest growing segment of the population in a majority of countries. This segment would constitute approximately 8% of the world’s population aged 65 and above, and the share is 12% in developed countries. This geriatric population is slated to grow at an exponential rate in two of the most populous countries globally — India and China. According to the statistics released by the World Population Prospects: the 2012 Revision (United Nations, Department of Economic and Social Affairs), the age group above 80 years, also referred as ‘oldest old’ in the report, was nearly 14% and is expected to increase to 19% by 2050. On the other hand, the population rise in under 65 age group is likely to be a mere 22%. Hence, rising geriatric population is likely to propel the global canal hearing aids market in the next few years.
In terms of region, the market in Europe is expected to expand at the highest growth rate, followed by North America. Rapid rise in geriatric population, growing incidence/increasing prevalence of hearing loss, and high purchasing power of patients is projected to augment the market in the region. Asia Pacific is expected to emerge as the fastest growing market. Developing countries in Asia Pacific such as India and China present significant expansion opportunities. Large patient pool, increasing geriatric population, and rising noise pollution drive the market in these countries. Increase in hearing-related problems, increasing awareness among patients about deafness, and expanding health care infrastructure are factors likely to boost the growth of the market in Latin America.
Cochlear Limited, GN Store Nord A/S, MED-EL, SeboTek Hearing Systems, LLC, Sivantos Pte. Ltd., Sonova, Starkey Hearing Technologies, Inc., Widex, William Demant Holding A/S, and Zounds Hearing, Inc. are the major players operating in the canal hearing aids market.
