They are further divided based on presumed cell of origin found in the tumor. Soft tissue sarcoma is the most common type of sarcoma, accounting for more than 80% of all sarcoma cases. Sarcoma affects all age groups but is more common in children. It is estimated that about 15% of cancer diagnosis in children are sarcomas. Rise in the incidence and prevalence of sarcoma, strong clinical pipeline of sarcoma drugs, rise in government initiatives toward orphan drug development, and increase in research and development expenditure are likely to fuel the growth of the global sarcoma market during forecast period. However, disappointing results of promising pipeline molecules, high cost of treatment and side effect associated with it, and stringent government regulations are estimated to hamper the growth of the global sarcoma market in in the coming years.

North America is anticipated to be a dominant region of the market, followed by Europe. The high incidence of sarcoma (around 15,000 new cases are diagnosed each year in the U.S.), growing awareness among people, increase in research and development expenditure, strong clinical pipeline, and well-established health care infrastructure contribute to the growth of the sarcoma market in North America. The market in Asia Pacific is anticipated to expand at a high CAGR during the forecast period. The market is likely to be driven by India and China, owing to a significant patient base, increased government initiatives, and developing health care infrastructure. The market in Latin America and Middle East & Africa is anticipated to expand during the forecast period, owing to an increase in investments from market players in these regions and increase in prevalence of sarcoma.
