TechNavio today launched its Anti-cancer Drugs Market in the APAC Region 2011“2015 report based on an in-depth study focusing exclusively on the APAC region. The report aims to aid decision makers™ understanding of the present and the future landscape of the market.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio™s Healthcare team said, Poor awareness of cancer and its prevention, as well as the consequent late detection of most cancers in patients, is quite common in the APAC region. Healthcare systems in Asia have recognized the problem and they are working to educate the public about the causes of cancer as well as to improve their facilities for treating the disease. For instance, Eisai has established a Japan-based oncology promotion framework, under which oncology information specialists have been assigned to each prefecture in the case of Japan and all of the approximately 1,400 medical representatives have been stationed around the country to provide information on anti-cancer therapies.
According to the report, the outsourcing of the manufacturing and distribution of anti-cancer drugs is growing at a fast pace in the pharmaceutical industry in the region. Vendors outsource the manufacturing of drugs to Asian countries to cut costs and to get superior quality service, as well as to accelerate the market growth for the entry of new products into emerging pharmaceutical markets. China and India are mostly chosen as destinations for outsourcing manufacturing.
The report also reveals that one of the major challenges in this market is competition from alternative cancer treatments.
The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key players.
