Researchers have investigated oral dexamethasone in randomized trials involving cancer patients. These trials indicated the potential of the drug to improve appetite and non-fluid weight gain.

Growth in the global market is set to be driven by rising incidence of cancer globally, and increasing R&D funding to develop novel and sophisticated treatment options with certain mode of action. The market growth is favored by increasing attention on palliative cancer care along with rising incidence of cancer.

Treatment modalities for cancer cachexia include appetite stimulants and drugs. There are several pipeline drugs in the late stages of clinical trials, for cancer cachexia treatment, which are anticipated to be commercialized over the coming two to three years. This is also expected to drive market growth.

Combination Therapies Segment to Reach $639.7 Million by 2026

Pharmaceutical agents like medroxyprogesterone and megestrol among others are being used along with exercise and diet for improving survival rates and quality for life.

These regional markets accounting for a combined market size of US$396.7 Million in the year 2020 will reach a projected size of US$576.6 Million by the close of the analysis period.

China will remain among the fastest growing in this cluster of regional markets. Led by countries such as Australia, India, and South Korea, the market in Asia-Pacific is forecast to reach US$48.4 Million by the year 2026.

The U.S. Market is Estimated at $879.7 Million in 2021, While China is Forecast to Reach $232.6 Million by 2026

The Cancer Cachexia market in the U.S. is estimated at US$879.7 Million in the year 2021. The country currently accounts for a 40.07% share in the global market. China, the world's second largest economy, is forecast to reach an estimated market size of US$232.6 Million in the year 2026 trailing a CAGR of 6.5% through the analysis period.

Within Europe, Germany is forecast to grow at approximately 4.4% CAGR while Rest of European market (as defined in the study) will reach US$250.2 Million by the end of the analysis period.

Presence of several major drug manufacturers in the region coupled with the factor of increasing number of cancer patients and need for care for the patients promotes dominance of North America region.
