Renal cell carcinoma, also known as
adenocarcinoma, refers to the cancer of kidneys in which malignant cells
are found in the renal tubules. It commonly occurs in adults and the
geriatric population. Among the types of kidney cancer, renal cell
carcinoma is highly prevalent and accounts for 80–90% of the total cases
as opposed transitional cell carcinoma which constitutes 5 -10% The
renal cell carcinoma market is expected to develop at a decent rate due
to the increased incidence reported worldwide. Surgical removal is not
the singular solution, especially after the cancer has reached
metastatic phase. Therapies with increased effectiveness and limited
side-effects such as such as immunotherapy and targeted agents are
required in such cases.
Geographically, the renal cell carcinoma
market is distributed over North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia
Pacific, and Middle East & Africa. North America and Europe
dominated the global market due to unhealthy lifestyles, obesity, and
hypertension in these regions and excessive smoking in the U.S. Asia and
South America exhibit minimal incidence of renal cell carcinoma. Rising
awareness and disposable incomes are anticipated to propel the renal
cell carcinoma market. Japan and Italy, known for their extensive
geriatric population, are predicted to dominate the market. On the other
hand, in Asia Pacific, the market is in its developmental phase due to
the increasing capacity of individuals to afford high cost medicines and
growing geriatric population. Rapid economic development in India,
China, Singapore, and Malaysia been projected to motivate the renal cell
carcinoma market. According to a study by NCBI named “Racial Disparity
in Renal Cell Carcinoma Patient Survival according to Demographic and
Clinical Characteristics” published in 2012, the African population runs
a comparatively higher risk of developing renal cell carcinoma. Thus,
countries with dense African population display potential for the
development of renal cell carcinoma market.
Key players in this market include Pfizer, Exelexis Inc., Eisai, GlaxoSmithKline plc. F. Hoffmann-La Roche AG, Novartis International AG, and Bayer AG. Pfizer is leading the market; however GlaxoSmithKline plc. and Novartis are extending their global presence with increased distribution channels.
