Immunology

The global immunology treatment market is set to expand from $61.5 billion in 2015 to reach $74.2 billion in 2022. The immunology treatment market’s Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) will equal a relatively stable 2.71%, due to practical and regulatory barriers to entry for biosimilars that are not present for small molecule generics, and a moderately strong late-stage pipeline.

Neuroscience

Global neuroscience market size was valued at USD 24.09 billion in 2013 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.9%, by 2016 the growth rate would be USD 27.09 billion and by 2020 the figures would be reaching USD 30.08 billion. Key growth factors are associated with the neuroscience market include rising R&D in neuro informatics for the development of efficient tools and algorithms to enhance brain structurally and functional mapping.

Cancer

The absolute number of cancer cases has increased continuously during the last decades in Austria. This trend will also continue in the near future based on the ageing of the population as cancer is primarily a disease of the elderly. The number of people aged 65 and older will increase strongly from 1.57 million in 2014 to 2.17 million in 2030 (+38%). Newly diagnosed cancer cases will increase from 38 218 cases in 2009 to 41 299 in 2020 (+8%) and to 43 706cases in 2030 (+14%). During the same period, the absolute number of cancer deaths will increase from 19 547 deaths in 2009 to 20 897 in 2020 (+7%) and to 22 707 cancer deaths in 2030 (+16%).
