Colorectal cancer is a malignant tumor of the large intestine's inner wall. This is due to abnormal cell growth that can invade or spread to other body parts. Colorectal cancer is commonly caused by inflammatory bowel disease and genetic inheritance. Fatigue, diarrhea or constipation, shortness of breath, weakness, change in bowel habits, red or dark blood in stool, weight loss, abdominal pain, and bloating are a few common symptoms. Colorectal cancer is classified into four stages: stage 0, stage I-cancer in the inner layers of the colon, stage II-cancer spreads through the muscle wall of the colon, stage III-cancer spreads to lymph nodes, and stage IV-cancer spreads to other organs. Colorectal cancer can be treated with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery.

Market Insights
Rise in Incidence of Colorectal Cancer

Colorectal cancer is one of the most commonly found and lethal cancers developed in individuals with the combined influence of genetic and environmental factors. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), colorectal cancer is the third most prevalent form of cancer, with ~1.93 million global cases in 2020, and an increase of ~70% in colorectal cancer cases worldwide is expected by 2030. Furthermore, according to the National Institute of Health, colorectal cancer (CRC) accounts for over 9% of all cancer incidences and is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide in 2020. Furthermore, colorectal cancer mortality and incidence rates vary globally, and ~916,000 deaths in 2020 were due to colorectal cancer. It is the third most common cancer in men and the second most common cancer in women. The lifetime risk of developing colorectal cancer is about 1 in 23 for men and 1 in 25 for women. Therefore, colorectal cancer was identified as the third most common cancer and the second most death-causing cancer.       

Colorectal cancer is increasingly affecting the populations in Asian countries. For instance, according to the International Agency for Research on Cancer & GLOBOCAN, the estimated incidence of colorectal cancer in Asia reported ~1,009,400 new cases in 2020. Japan, China, Malaysia, Singapore, Korea, and Turkey witnessed high prevalence rates compared to the other countries in Asia Pacific.

People with localized stage colorectal cancer have a 90% chance of surviving after five years. The 5-year survival rate is 71% if cancer spreads to neighboring tissues, organs, or regional lymph nodes. Surgery, immunotherapy, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and targeted therapy are the most common treatment for colorectal cancer. Depending on the cancer stage, two or more of these treatment methods can be administered concurrently or sequentially.

Thus, the rising number of patients suffering from the disease has increased the demand for colorectal cancer solutions, thus driving the growth of the global colorectal cancer market.
