Based on type, the market is segmented into extrahepatic bile duct cancer (eCCA) and intrahepatic bile duct cancer (iCCA). The intrahepatic bile duct cancer (eCCA) segment dominated around USD 2.4 billion revenue in 2023.
 

• iCCA is a relatively common type of bile duct cancer, comprising the majority of cases, and its incidence has been increasing globally. iCCA accounts for around 5%–20% of cases of primary liver cancer.
   
• This rise in prevalence has led to a greater focus on developing advanced treatment options specifically tailored for iCCA.
   
• Additionally, the lack of effective screening methods for early detection and the often-advanced stage at diagnosis contribute to the high demand for innovative therapies in this segment.
   
• As a result, pharmaceutical companies and research institutions are actively investing in the development of novel drugs and treatment modalities targeting iCCA, thereby driving the segment's growth.
   

Based on treatment, the bile duct cancer market is segmented into surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. The surgery segment accounted for 36.3% of the market share in 2023.
 

• Surgical interventions, such as the removal of the tumor or bypass procedures are preferred options for localized bile duct cancers.
   
• Additionally, advent of advanced surgical techniques such as minimally invasive approaches that enable more precise and effective procedures, have further increased adoption rates.
   
• Moreover, the limited efficacy of alternative treatment modalities, particularly in advanced stages of the disease, makes surgery a primary option for achieving tumor control and improving survival rates, further enhancing the segmental growth.
   

Based on treatment provider, the bile duct cancer market is classified into hospitals, oncology centers & specialty clinics, and ambulatory surgical centers. The hospitals segment is poised to reach USD 3.5 billion by 2032.
 

• Hospitals are well equipped with advanced diagnostic technologies such as CT scans, MRIs, and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), which are essential for accurate diagnosis and staging of bile duct cancer.
   
• Additionally, hospitals have multidisciplinary teams of oncologists, surgeons, radiologists, and other specialists who collaborate to develop personalized treatment plans for patients, including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy.
   
• Furthermore, hospitals serve as the primary healthcare settings with a higher volume of patients seeking specialized care.
   

North America bile duct cancer market held over 37.8% of the revenue share in 2023 and is expected to cross USD 2.7 billion by 2032.
 

• The region benefits from a well-established healthcare infrastructure, high adoption of advanced medical technologies, and a growing prevalence of bile duct cancer cases.
   
• For instance, as per the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, approximately 10,000 Americans are diagnosed with cancer of the biliary tract each year.
   
• Additionally, increased awareness about early diagnosis and treatment options, along with favorable government initiatives and reimbursement policies, contribute to the region's dominance in this market.
   
• Furthermore, the presence of key market players focusing on research and development activities to introduce novel therapeutics and treatment approaches further solidifies North America's position as a leader in the market.
