Customer preferences: Ecuador has a high incidence of cancer, with breast cancer being the most prevalent among women and prostate cancer among men. This has led to a high demand for oncology drugs in the country. Additionally, there is a growing preference for targeted therapies over traditional chemotherapy, as they are believed to have fewer side effects.

Trends in the market: The oncology drugs market in Ecuador is expected to continue its growth trajectory, driven by factors such as an aging population and increasing cancer incidence. The market is also likely to see an increase in the adoption of biosimilars, which are expected to be more affordable than their branded counterparts. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of the healthcare sector, leading to increased investment in the sector.

Local special circumstances: One of the major challenges faced by the oncology drugs market in Ecuador is the high cost of treatment, which can be a barrier to access for many patients. Additionally, there is a lack of awareness and education among the general population about cancer prevention and treatment. This highlights the need for increased investment in public health campaigns and education programs.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: Ecuador is a developing country with a growing economy. However, the country has been facing economic challenges in recent years, which have led to a reduction in public spending on healthcare. This has had an impact on the availability and affordability of oncology drugs in the country. However, the government has recently announced plans to increase investment in the healthcare sector, which is expected to have a positive impact on the oncology drugs market.

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, with lung cancer alone ranked the sixth leading cause of death in 2021. Cancer, also known as malignant tumors and neoplasms, is the result of interactions between personal genetic factors and external agents causing abnormal transformations of cells into tumors over time. As the global population has increased in age, the incidence of new cancer cases has also risen, contributing to a higher number of deaths each year. In 2022, nearly 10 million deaths were caused by cancer worldwide- a number which is expected to reach over 15 million by 2040.
