In terms of the geography, North America, with a share of 40%, led the global market for cancer cachexia in 2016. This regional market is projected to remain leading in the near future, thanks to the increasing awareness among people and healthcare professionals about cancer supportive care. Apart from this, the presence of pipeline drugs in phase 3 clinical trial, which will be rolled out in the market over the next 2-3 years, are also expected to drive the market for cancer cachexia in North America in the near future. Europe, which has been following North America closely, is predicted to surface as a more lucrative market for cancer cachexia over the forthcoming years, owing the continued practice of offering discounts on drugs, specifically used for the treatment of cancer, by manufacturers in this region.
