Middle East and Africa Brain Cancer Diagnostics Market

Market Introduction

Brain cancers are caused due to extracellular growth of the cells in the brain that causes tumors. The tumor includes primary brain tumors and secondary brain tumors. Primary brain tumors are formed in the brain and do not spread to other body parts, whereas secondary tumors, also known as metastases, are those cancers that began in another part of the body.  Brain tumors are categorized into 40 major types that are further classified into two major groups, including benign, i.e., slow-growing and have less possibility to spread, and malignant, i.e., cancerous, and more likely to spread.

Thus, the increase in prevalence of brain cancer is expected to create a significant demand for brain cancer diagnostics in the coming years, which is further anticipated to drive the brain cancer diagnostics market.

The pandemic has caused disruptions to health services worldwide and has impacted the ability of countries to address and respond to critical conditions like brain cancer. In many countries, diagnostics services have been disrupted, and supply chains for key commodities have been stretched. In Africa, COVID-19 has threatened the control of major health conditions including brain cancer. As COVID-19 continues to spread in Africa, there are concerns over its impact on market, limited diagnosis, and decreased access to expert neurosurgeons further impacting the market in the region. However, as the pandemic situation overcomes, the demand for several diagnostics modalities used in brain cancer diagnosis will increase.

Market Overview and Dynamics

The Brain cancer diagnostics market in Middle East and Africa is expected to grow from US$ 87.4 million in 2021 to US$ 237.0 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 15.3% from 2021 to 2028. The term "primary brain tumor" refers to a tumor that begins in the brain. Cancer of the brain and nervous system is the tenth highest cause of mortality in men and women. In a person's lifetime, the chances of having this form of tumor are fewer than 1%. Most primary central nervous system (CNS) malignancies are brain tumors, which account for 85% to 90% of all cases. Brain tumors can be fatal, have a severe impact on quality of life, and ultimately transform a patient's and their family's lives.  Furthermore, early detection of tumors often provides more treatment options. Advanced imaging technology can pinpoint the location of brain tumors. Diagnostic tools include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT or CAT scan). Intraoperative MRI can also be used to guide tissue biopsy and tumor resection during surgery. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is used to examine the chemical characteristics of tumors. Thus, the increase in the prevalence of brain cancer highly demands brain cancer diagnostic tools.
