According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled "Cancer Cachexia Market Report by Therapeutics (Progestogens, Corticosteroids, Combination Therapy, and Others), Mode of Action (Appetite Stimulators, Weight Loss Stabilizers), Distribution Channel (Hospital Stores, Retail Pharmacy, Online Pharmacy), and Region 2025-2033," the global cancer cachexia market reached a value of USD 2.2 Billion in 2024. Cancer cachexia is a metabolic disease characterized by muscle mass and fat loss, fatigue, and weakness. It is a common and severe complication of cancer, affecting up to 80% of advanced cancer patients, and is a significant contributor to morbidity and mortality in this population. Cachexia is a multifactorial syndrome resulting from an imbalance between energy intake and expenditure, leading to progressive muscle wasting and anorexia. It is not simply a result of poor appetite or nutritional intake but a systemic manifestation of underlying cancer and its metabolic effects. The underlying mechanisms of cancer cachexia involve a complex interplay of factors, including cytokine production, oxidative stress, and hormonal imbalances. Cancer cachexia also significantly impacts the immune system and can impair the effectiveness of cancer treatment.
Global Cancer Cachexia Market Trends:
The global market is majorly driven by the increasing prevalence of cancer. In line with this, the rising demand for effective treatments is significantly contributing to the market growth. Furthermore, the growing demand for therapy drugs and heavy investments in research and development activities to introduce new therapeutic drugs are positively influencing the market. Apart from this, the escalating healthcare expenditure and improving healthcare infrastructure are catalyzing the market. Moreover, the rapid adoption of combination therapies among the patient population is favoring the market expansion. Besides, the increasing geriatric population and the widespread availability of novel therapeutic drugs to treat cancer cachexia are propelling the market.
