The global gastric cancer market is anticipated to reach $10.7 billion by 2031, growing from $2.1 billion in 2021, at a CAGR of 17.9% from 2022 to 2031.
Gastric cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the lining of the stomach. Age, diet, and sedentary lifestyle can lead to the risk of developing gastric cancer. Symptoms of gastric cancer include indigestion and stomach discomfort or pain. Tests that examine the stomach and esophagus are used to diagnose gastric cancer.
The gastric cancer market is expected to expand as cases of the stomach disease rise. The causes of stomach cancer have significantly increased due to additional risk factors such as an increase in obesity, increase in the consumption of highly processed foods, sugary beverages, smoking, genetic modification of genes, a family history of cancer, and consumption of alcohol. Furthermore, the rising incidence of gastric cancer is anticipated to continue and this trend is boosting the demand for efficient treatments. All these factors are projected to drive the market revenue growth during the forecast period.
Gastric cancer treatment can be expensive as there are numerous tests which need to be conducted, including surgery, radiation therapy, and diagnosis, and staging. Different tests and procedures, such as imaging studies, endoscopies, biopsies, and blood tests, are frequently required in the diagnosis and staging of gastric cancer. The cost of these tests can be high, and multiple doctor visits might be necessary. The market is predicted to be severely constrained by the high cost of treating gastric cancer.
The market for gastric cancer is projected to benefit due to the increase in healthcare awareness. People are more likely to seek medical attention and get screened for the disease as they become more aware of the risk factors linked to gastric cancer. More cases of gastric cancer can be discovered at an earlier stage owing to the increase in awareness. Early detection of gastric cancer is essential for effective treatment and better patient outcomes. Therefore, gastric cancer patient may need diagnostic and therapeutic options like medication, surgery, and radiation therapy. These factors are expected to create several growth opportunities for the major players operating in the market.

Many gastric cancer patients have experienced treatment interruptions due to the pandemic. To reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission, treatment schedules had to be altered, which resulted in delays or changes to some patients' treatment plans. Concerns about COVID-19 exposure in healthcare settings made patients hesitant to seek treatment. Clinical trials for gastric cancer were significantly impacted by the pandemic as numerous clinical trials were postponed or delayed.
