Retinoblastoma Treatment Market Trends

The global retinoblastoma treatment market size was valued at USD 2.42 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.26% over the forecast period. This is attributed to the rising incidence of retinoblastoma, growing advancements in medical technology, and increasing number of research & development in the oncology fields. Moreover, the increasing number of funding and rising government initiatives for acknowledging the population is anticipated to further fuel the market growth from 2023 to 2030.

Furthermore, individuals with a background of hereditary retinoblastoma are highly anticipated to develop second primary tumors (SPT) unrelated to retinoblastoma. These often include lung cancer, bone sarcoma, various soft tissue sarcomas, leiomyosarcoma, malignant melanoma, and midline brain tumors. Moreover, it increases the risk of prevalent solid cancers such as bladder and breast cancer. Thus, the overall risk of SPT occurrence is approximately 36% within 40 years post-retinoblastoma diagnosis. Thereby, the treatment procedure for retinoblastoma plays a significant role in determining the magnitude of SPT risk as well.

Treatment Type Insights

Based on the treatment type, the chemotherapy segment held the largest market share in 2022. This is attributed to the increasing number of cases and rising continuous advancements in chemotherapy regimens & drugs. Furthermore, several pharmaceutical companies are highly investing in research & development to create more effective and direct chemotherapy agents for effective treatment of retinoblastoma with minimum adverse effects.

Type Of Retinoblastoma Insights

On the basis of the type of retinoblastoma, the market is segmented into non-hereditary retinoblastoma and hereditary retinoblastoma. The non-hereditary retinoblastoma segment dominated the market in 2022. Unlike many other cancers, retinoblastoma is not usually hereditary, meaning it doesn't run in families or pass from parents to their children through their genes. According to an NCBI article published in June 2023, non-hereditary retinoblastoma comprises 94% of the total cases. Thus, this is projected to boost the market segment over the forecast period.

Type Of Staging Insights

Based on the type of staging, the retinoblastoma treatment market is segmented into extraocular retinoblastoma and intraocular retinoblastoma. The extraocular retinoblastoma segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR over the forecast period. The diagnosis of extraocular retinoblastoma is challenging, and treatment usually involves a multidisciplinary approach, combining chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and potentially stem cell transplantation.
