Introduction

In recent years, there has been a rise in the number of new cases reported due to climatic changes. These changes are increasing the incidence of melanoma patients worldwide, raising the demand for proper methods of treatment. If detected and treated early, the disease is almost always curable. The rising per capita income, better health facilities, growing health awareness, the availability of health insurance services, and advancement in medical science and bio-medicines are additionally factoring in the expansion of the market.

Geographically, North America dominates the market share. The high prevalence of skin-related cancer in the United States is a major factor contributing to the market's growth. By type, cutaneous melanoma is widely spread globally and caused by too much exposure to ultraviolet rays from the sun and indoor tanning.  Based on therapy, targeted therapy is gaining the market share due to lesser side effects and high-efficiency rates.
