The growing geriatric population significantly contributes to the rising number of pancreatic cancer patients, given that their immunity wanes with age. The rise in government healthcare expenditure to make treatments accessible and affordable for the citizenry will also aid in the growth of the pancreatic cancer market. The increased emphasis on research and development in molecular biology by private and public players will provide lucrative opportunities in the pancreatic cancer market during the forecast period.

Market Overview:

The pancreas is an integral part of the human body. It is located behind the stomach of the abdominal cavity. The pancreas is also a gland. It has both endocrine and exocrine glands. The exocrine glands secret digestive juices that break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates which are then converted to energy for the body to function well. The endocrine glands secrete various hormones responsible for multiple functions during different stages of human life. The pancreas is critical for maintaining the right blood glucose levels. Type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, pancreatitis, hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, and pancreatic cancer are some pancreatic disorders. Cancer cells start developing and multiplying in the pancreatic tissue, which is called pancreatic cancer. These cancerous cells are difficult to diagnose in the early stages. Nausea, pain, weight loss, and jaundice are common symptoms experienced by a pancreatic cancer patient. However, these symptoms are not visible until the later stages of cancer, which has drastically progressed. Heavy drinking and tobacco consumption increases the risk of pancreatic cancer. The treatments are devised case-by-case basis according to how far cancer has progressed. The various treatments include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, surgery, or palliative care.

Segmentation Analysis:

The global pancreatic cancer market has been segmented based on treatment type, cancer type, end-user, and region.

• The treatment type segment is divided into chemotherapy, immunotherapy, hormone therapy, surgery, radiation therapy, targeted drug therapy, and others. The chemotherapy segment dominated the market with a market share of around 39% in 2021. Chemotherapy is the most prevalent treatment used to kill pancreatic cancer cells. Chemotherapy targets cancer cells and may help reduce tumor size. Chemotherapy can be combined with other forms of treatment like radiation therapy, targeted drug therapy, and immunotherapy, allowing more flexibility for the oncologist to treat the patient according to the cancer stage. Increased research and development have improved chemotherapy treatments, providing an impetus to the segment.
• The disease type segment is divided into endocrine and exocrine pancreatic cancer. The exocrine pancreatic cancer segment dominated the market with a market share of around 57% in 2021. The pancreas is the only organ in the body with two glands: the endocrine gland and the exocrine gland. The exocrine glands secret digestive enzymes responsible for breaking down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in the body. Exocrine glands are also responsible for the sweat, tears, oils, and saliva secreted by the human body. Exocrine pancreatic cancer is caused due to smoking, chronic inflammation of the pancreas, or diabetes. Exocrine pancreatic cancer leads to abdominal pains, yellow skin and eyes, itchy skin, and blood clots, among other things. It is the most prevalent form of pancreatic cancer among the two, hence its dominance in the global market. 
• The end-user segment is divided into hospitals, clinics, diagnostic laboratories, research institutes, research laboratories & others. In 2021, the hospital segment dominated the market, accounting for around 47% of global revenue.
