Market Insights
Increasing Prevalence of Chronic Diseases
Chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disorders, neurological disorders, autoimmune disorders, and cancer are the leading cause of death and disability worldwide. As per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2019, nearly 6 in 10 people suffered from at least one chronic disease in the US. As per the World Health Organization (WHO), CVDs are the number one cause of death globally, taking an estimated 17.9 million lives each year.
Cancer is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide, which acts as a huge financial burden on society. According to the WHO, in 2018, ~9.6 million deaths occurred due to cancer globally. However, growing research on developing effective treatments for the disease is influencing the market growth. According to the National Health Profile, the cases of common cancers, including cervical, oral, and breast cancers, have increased by 324% in India from 2017 to 2018. Additionally, the total number of patients visiting Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD) clinics have doubled between 2017 and 2018, which is recorded to be 35 million and 66 million, respectively. Rapid change in lifestyle and consumption of alcohol and tobacco products are among the prominent factors increasing the incidences of cancer among the population.
Autoimmune diseases further contribute to a significant number of populations suffering with various type of diseases. For instance, according to the National Institutes of Health, ~23.5 million Americans suffer from autoimmune diseases, and an additional 8 million people have autoantibodies in blood molecules that indicate a person’s chance of developing autoimmune disease. The underlying cause of various autoimmune diseases is still unknown. Thus, researchers and therapists treating and exploring therapies for these diseases conduct detailed histopathological analysis to understand the mechanism of the diseases and design therapies and treatment for their management. Thus, the rising number of chronic diseases worldwide are expected to account for the growth of the histopathological services market during the forecast period.
