Based on application, the oncology segment has
emerged as the predominant market leader, Cancer incidence in Kenya has been
increasing, driven by various factors including lifestyle changes, an aging
population, and improved diagnostic capabilities. The growing prevalence of
cancer types such as breast, cervical, and prostate cancers has led to a higher
demand for oncology drugs. This rise in cancer cases necessitates a substantial
supply of medications, including chemotherapy, targeted therapies, and
immunotherapies, which propels the oncology segment to the forefront of the
pharmaceutical market. The oncology segment is characterized by the
introduction and adoption of advanced treatment options. Innovations such as
targeted therapies, biologics, and personalized medicine are becoming more
accessible in Kenya. These advancements offer more effective and tailored
treatment options for cancer patients, enhancing their efficacy and safety
compared to traditional treatments. The growing availability of these advanced
drugs contributes significantly to the dominance of the oncology segment in the

medications and therapies.
The expansion of specialized oncology treatment
facilities and cancer centers in Kenya is another factor driving the dominance
of the oncology segment. These facilities are equipped with advanced diagnostic
and treatment technologies, increasing the availability and accessibility of
