Scalp cooling systems are helmet like structures containing a coolant, which is maintained at a low temperature ranging from -15°F to -40°F. These systems help in reducing chemotherapy induced hair loss.
Chemotherapeutic agents target rapidly dividing cells to treat cancer, which results in loss of hair. Scalp cooling systems reduce the amount of chemotherapy medicines that reach the hair follicles by constricting the blood vessels present beneath the scalp. Low temperature decreases the hair follicle activity by slowing down the cell division and hence, the follicles are less affected by chemotherapy medicines.
Global Scalp Cooling System Market – Dynamics
Although chemotherapy is one of the effective procedures used for treating cancer, it also causes hair loss. Hence, high prevalence of cancer is expected to boost growth of the scalp cooling system market during the forecast period. For instance, according to the Cancer Treatment & Survivor Facts & Figures, 2019 by the American Cancer Society, around 16.9 million individuals are reported to be having a cancer history out of which around 3.8 million women have a history of breast cancer in the U.S. The American Cancer Society also stated that 56% of women suffering from stage III breast cancer opted for the mastectomy followed by chemotherapy, while 56% of women diagnosed with stage IV metastatic cancer chose chemotherapy or radiotherapy without surgery.
Increasing adoption of strategies such as mergers, acquisitions, and agreements by market players are likely to propel the market growth. For instance, in March 2019, Paxman entered into a five year research and collaboration agreement with the University of Huddersfield.
