Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in men and second most common cancer in women. Epidemiologists expect the number of incident and prevalent cases of colorectal cancer in the US, Germany, Italy, Spain, the UK, Japan, India, and China to increase during the forecast period. Incident and prevalent cases in France is expected to stay relatively constant.

The number of total incident cases for all markets combined will increase from 1.23 million cases in 2012 to 1.75 million cases in 2022 at the rate of 4.22% per year. China has the larest number of incident cases in 2012 (645,057 cases), in 2022 (1.05 million cases), as well as the highest growth (6.32% per year) of all nine markets.

The markets vary in age distribution of incident cases, gender gap, cancer stage at diagnosis, and screening programs. However, resection treatment is universally common where around 70-90% of colorectal cases in each market receive resection treatment.
