Increasing Incidence Of Oral Cancers Worldwide Is Propelling The Growth Of The Dysphagia Management Market

 

Dysphagia Management Market

Dysphagia, defined as difficulty in initiating, sustaining, and finishing normal swallowing, affects approximately 13% of the population. Dysphagia is classified into two main categories: functional dysphagia and non-fatal dysphagia. People with functional dysphagia have problems initiating and completing certain movements of the upper airway; they rarely have problems with breathing. Non-fatal dysphagia causes problems with breathing and the release of excessive saliva (salivary colic) which can cause the tongue to stick out. These patients typically have no or little pain when the tongue is sticking out but often experience mild to moderate soreness afterward.

The growing prevalence of oral cancer around the globe is driving the growth of the dysphagia management market. According to the World Health Organization, there are an estimated 657,000 new cases of cancers of the oral cavity and
pharynx each year, and more than 330,000 deaths. Dysphagia is associated with the difficulties of swallowing in patient. It is more common in the geriatric population.

By 2020, the number of people aged 60 years and older will outnumber children younger than 5 years. In 2050, 80% of older people will be living in low- and middle-income countries.

North America is projected to gain significant growth over the forecast period and this is attributed to the increasing spending on the healthcare sector by the regional government. According to the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the U.S. health care spending grew 4.6 percent in 2019, reaching $3.8 trillion or $11,582 per person.  As a share of the nation's Gross Domestic Product, health spending accounted for 17.7 percent.
