The availability and adoption of nanomedical products such as nanorobots, DNA probes, monoclonal antibody-based immunoassays, nanosensors, and nanoparticle-based imaging agents are driving the market growth in nanomedicines. In addition, favorable regulatory environment is a key factor propelling the market in North America. Asia Pacific and Latin America are other attractive markets, which are poised to rise due to the increasing healthcare spending and improving healthcare facilities. This is due to economic growth, rise in spending capacity, surge in prevalence of cancers, and improvements in healthcare infrastructure.

Nanomedicine Market: Overview

• According to Transparency Market Research’s latest report on the global market for the historical period 2017–2019 and forecast period from 2021 to 2028, increase in research funding, rise in government support, improved regulatory framework, technological advancements, and surge in prevalence of chronic diseases are projected to drive the global market during the forecast period

Rise in Prevalence of Chronic Diseases such as Cancer and Cardiovascular Diseases: Key Driver

• Cancer is a leading cause of death across the world. According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer, the worldwide cancer burden has increased to 19.3 million cases and 10 million cancer deaths in 2020. By 2040, the number of new cancer cases per year is anticipated to reach 29.5 million, with 16.4 million cancer-related deaths.
• Diet is one of the key risk factors that leads to increase in number of patients with obesity and high blood pressure. Hence, change in dietary habits results in rise in prevalence of cardiovascular diseases. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, heart diseases account for nearly 655,000 deaths in the U.S. each year.
• Aging is consistently reported as a major risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, surge in geriatric population contributes to the increase in number of patients with various brain diseases. An article published in the Journal of the Alzheimer's Association indicated that the prevalence of Alzheimer’s dementia increases dramatically with age; 3% of people aged 65 to 74, 17% of people aged 75 to 84, and 32% of people aged 85 or older have Alzheimer’s dementia.
