Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is the most common acute leukaemia in adults and among the most lethal. In the United States, the annual incidence of AML is 19 000 new cases, and the incidence of AML-associated deaths is 10 000.
The rapid increase in geriatric population is one of the major drivers for the acute myeloid leukaemia market. With age, patients become highly susceptible to diseases due to decreased immunity and degeneration. As per an article published by NCBI, Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is the common form of acute leukaemia in adults, accounting for over 80% of all acute leukaemia in those over the age of 18 years.
The lead analyst of the report commented "The growth of the acute myeloid leukaemia market is estimated to be catalysed by opportunities in emerging markets due to improving healthcare infrastructure, unmet healthcare needs, rise in chronic diseases, and increased awareness of treatment methods.
There is a need for better therapeutics and treatment options. The increasing incidence and lack of better treatment options pose a lucrative opportunity for the market to grow and expand."
