Global Paranasal Sinus Cancer Market is expected to reach US$ 585 Mn in 2031 with a growth rate of 5.2%.

Paranasal sinus cancer refers to a rare malignant tumor occurring in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, including the frontal, ethmoid, maxillary and sphenoid sinuses. It accounts for about 3% of head and neck cancers. The rising incidence globally, growing geriatric population, advances in radiation therapy, and launch of new targeted drugs are key factors driving growth in the paranasal sinus cancer market.

In recent years, major advancements in radiation therapy such as proton beam therapy, MR-IGRT, and IMR-Linac systems are boosting the precision and effectiveness of radiation treatment. This is creating revenue opportunities for medical device companies. Moreover, the approval and launch of new immunotherapy drugs like Keytruda and Opdivo for advanced sinus cancers is also propelling market growth. Strategic partnerships between pharmaceutical companies to conduct clinical trials and co-develop novel combination therapies will further support market expansion.

The Paranasal Sinus Cancer market is segmented by treatment type, end-user, and region. The radiation therapy segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period due to its rising adoption and launch of innovative radiation delivery systems. By end-user, the hospitals segment accounted for the largest share in 2021. This is attributed to higher patient volume, accessibility of trained staff, and favorable reimbursements.

North America held the largest market share in 2021, driven by high incidence rates, launch of new products, and access to advanced treatments. Asia Pacific is estimated to witness the fastest growth at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2022 to 2031 due to improving diagnosis rates, growing healthcare expenditure, and rising product launches in countries like China, Japan and India.

Paranasal sinus cancer is a type of head and neck cancer that occurs in the sinus cavities around the nose. It is rare, accounting for around 3% of all head and neck cancers. These sinus cancers are often found in the maxillary sinus, ethmoid sinus, frontal sinus and sphenoid sinus. The most common symptoms are sinus congestion, facial swelling and pain. Treatment often involves surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy.
