High prevalence and rising incidence rates of major types of cancers (such as breast cancer and prostate cancer), emerging treatment algorithms and widespread use of anti-cancer drugs for treating conditions such as blood cancer (leukemia) is expected to drive this market. In addition, growing popularity of biological and targeted drug therapies, which help in improving the patients survival time, are projected to provide opportunities in the LAMEA oncology/anti-cancer drugs market. However, factors such as high cost associated with cancer drugs and related side effects are likely to affect the market growth.

Blood cancer segment is expected to maintain its dominant position throughout the forecast period.
