COUNTRY LEVEL ANALYSIS
Geographically, Asia Pacific is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period due to the financial improvement of some Asian countries such as India, China, and Malaysia. Moreover, most drug development companies outsourced their clinical trial drug development studies in Asian countries due to its large population pool.
The Chinese regional market is anticipated to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period, owing to higher spending by government and non-government agencies for improving health infrastructure in the region. According to the World Bank, the share of health expenditure as a percentage of GDP rose to 5.3% in 2018, from 4.2% in 2010 in China. The high rate of cancer and large geriatric population in the region will positively impact the studied market. According to a report published in the Critical Illness Journal, the incidence of breast cancer in Singapore fell from 20 per 100,000 per year from 1972 to 60 per year 100,000 between 2006 and 2010. While in China and India, incidence rates have increased by up to 30% over the past several decades, while in Japan, Korea, and Singapore, rates have doubled or even tripled in recent years.
The rapid growth of life science research activities in China, Australia, Taiwan, Japan, and India, supported by the rise of biotechnology and the pharmaceutical industry, research, and low infrastructure costs, are important factors driving the protein chip market's development region. There are 3.7 million men and over 4 million women currently who have cancer in these Asian countries. China has approximately 1.7 million men and 1.6 million women cancer survivors.
