Major trends in the forecast period include immunotherapy advancements, precision medicine integration, telemedicine expansion, data-driven decision-making, collaborative care models, and patient-centric care.
The increasing prevalence of cancer is expected to significantly drive the growth of the oncologists market in the future. Cancer is a disease characterized by the uncontrolled growth of certain body cells, which can then spread to other areas. The prevalence of cancer refers to the number of new cases that occur in a specified population over a specific period. Oncologists are healthcare professionals specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer; they are responsible for examining patients, diagnosing the disease, and identifying treatment options. For example, in May 2024, the National Cancer Institute, a U.S.-based government agency, reported that there were approximately 18.1 million cancer survivors in the United States. This number is projected to rise to 22.5 million by 2032. Furthermore, by 2040, the annual incidence of new cancer cases is expected to reach 29.9 million, with cancer-related deaths estimated to increase to 15.3 million. Therefore, the rising prevalence of cancer is propelling the oncologists market forward.
The growth of the aging population is expected to be a significant factor supporting the expansion of the oncologists' market. An aging population, comprising individuals aged 60 and above, is more susceptible to cancer as the risk of cancer increases with age. The demand for oncologists rises with the growing prevalence of cancer in the elderly population. According to the World Health Organization, by 2030, 1 in 6 people globally will be aged 60 or above. The number of elderly individuals reached 1.4 billion in 2020, and by 2050, it is projected to more than double, reaching 2.1 billion. Therefore, the increasing size of the aging population is expected to have a positive impact on the oncologists' market in the forecast period.
Major companies in the oncology market are focusing on establishing AI-precision oncology centers to enhance personalized cancer treatment, improve diagnostic accuracy, and optimize treatment plans based on individual patient data and tumor characteristics. AI-precision oncology centers are specialized medical facilities that employ artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning technologies to deliver highly personalized cancer care. For example, in January 2024, Apollo Cancer Centre, an India-based hospital, launched its AI-precision oncology center. This facility aims to support oncologists, patients, and caregivers in achieving optimal outcomes within a defined timeframe by harnessing the capabilities of AI technology. The center uses AI technologies to provide precise diagnoses and real-time insights into patient conditions, enabling timely interventions and better management of cancer cases. Additionally, the center conducts comprehensive cancer risk assessments to identify patients who may benefit from targeted therapies or immunotherapy as part of their treatment plans.
