Expert Market Research's “Bladder Cancer Epidemiology Forecast Report 2026-2035” offers comprehensive information on the prevalence and demographics of bladder cancer. It projects the future incidence and prevalence rates of bladder cancer cases across various populations. The study covers age, gender, and type as major determinants of the bladder cancer population. The report highlights patterns in the prevalence of bladder cancer over time and projects future trends based on multiple variables.
The report provides a comprehensive overview of the disease, as well as historical and projected data on the epidemiology of bladder cancer in the 8 major markets.
Regions Covered
Bladder cancer is a malignancy that develops when abnormal cells in the bladder lining grow uncontrollably and form tumors. It most commonly begins in the urothelial cells lining the inside of the bladder. The disease is broadly classified into non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer, which remains within the bladder lining or connective tissue, and muscle-invasive bladder cancer, which extends into the bladder muscle. Less common types include squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. Major risk factors include tobacco smoking, occupational exposure to certain chemicals, older age, and previous cancer treatment. Urothelial carcinoma is the most common histological type.

Key Insights |
|
Diagnosed Prevalent Cases of the Disease |
According to Adalberto M. Filho et al., 2026, an estimated 614,298 new bladder cancer cases and 220,596 deaths occurred worldwide in 2022. According to Wu Lin et al., 2023, 573,278 new cases and 212,536 deaths were reported globally in 2020. |
|
Gender-Specific Cases of the Disease |
As per Adalberto M. Filho et al., 2026, approximately 75% of the global bladder cancer burden occurred among males in 2022. According to Wu Lin et al., 2023, incidence among men was up to four times higher than among women. |
|
Age-Specific Cases of the Disease |
According to Wu Lin et al., 2023, the mean age at bladder cancer diagnosis was 73 years. In the United States, approximately 90% of diagnoses occurred among people older than 55 years, while 80% occurred among those older than 65 years. |
|
Ethnicity-Wise Cases of the Disease |
Wu Lin et al., 2023, reported that bladder cancer accounted for 4% of deaths in American men and 2% in American women. The reported three-year overall survival rate was 70%, declining to 42% at 10 years. |
|
Mortality and Survival Analysis of the Disease |
According to the American Cancer Society, 2026, approximately 84,530 new bladder cancer cases and 17,870 deaths are estimated in the United States. Of these, 64,730 cases and 12,640 deaths are expected among men, compared with 19,800 cases and 5,230 deaths among women. |
|
Disease Type |
Prevalence |
|
Urothelial Carcinoma |
Urothelial carcinoma was one of the two predominant histological subtypes of bladder cancer across regions, representing a major component of the overall bladder cancer epidemiological burden. |
|
Squamous Cell Carcinoma |
Squamous cell carcinoma was another predominant histological subtype across regions. Its epidemiological contribution can be assessed alongside urothelial carcinoma within the overall bladder cancer burden. |
|
Other Histological Types |
Other histological types of bladder cancer include adenocarcinoma and small cell carcinoma. These are recognized bladder cancer types; however, the provided sources do not quantify their prevalence, so no additional numerical estimates are included. |

Key Insights |
|
United States |
Bladder cancer shows a pronounced male predominance and increasing occurrence with age. According to the American Cancer Society, 2026, approximately 84,530 new cases and 17,870 deaths are estimated for 2026, with substantially higher case and mortality counts among men. |
|
Germany |
As per Jaime Luna et al., 2025, approximately 30,000 patients were newly diagnosed with bladder cancer in Germany in 2022. The epidemiological burden increases with age, while non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer represents approximately 75% of incident bladder cancer diagnoses. |
|
France |
Bladder cancer epidemiology can be assessed through incidence patterns, age distribution, gender differences, and mortality burden. These measures provide a basis for evaluating the distribution and overall epidemiological burden of bladder cancer within France. |
|
Italy |
The epidemiological assessment of bladder cancer in Italy includes evaluation of incidence, mortality, age distribution, and gender-specific patterns. These measures help characterize the disease burden and population distribution within the Italian bladder cancer population. |
|
Spain |
Bladder cancer epidemiology in Spain can be evaluated through incidence, mortality, age-specific distribution, and gender-specific case patterns. These indicators support assessment of the overall disease burden and differences in bladder cancer occurrence across population groups. |
|
United Kingdom |
According to Luke Stroman et al., 2022, bladder cancer represented 3% of all cancer deaths in the United Kingdom. Visible haematuria was reported as the most common presentation, accounting for 85% of cases, providing an important epidemiological presentation pattern. |
|
Japan |
As per Astellas, 2023, approximately 25,000 people are diagnosed with bladder cancer each year in Japan, while approximately 9,500 deaths were reported in 2023. These figures indicate a substantial national disease and mortality burden. |
|
India |
According to Koustav Biswas et al., 2023, bladder cancer constituted approximately 1.6% of all cancer cases in India, with more than 10,000 deaths reported in 2020. These figures indicate a measurable contribution to the country's overall cancer burden. |
The bladder cancer landscape continues to face gaps in early detection, risk assessment, and equitable access to specialized care. Delayed diagnosis can contribute to detection at more advanced stages, particularly where awareness and diagnostic infrastructure are limited. Emerging opportunities include improving referral pathways, expanding access to cystoscopy and pathology services, and strengthening surveillance for recurrent disease. India presents substantial potential because of its large population and growing healthcare capacity, while the United States, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, and Japan offer opportunities to improve personalized treatment, recurrence monitoring, and adoption of newer systemic therapies.
Bladder cancer treatment depends on tumor stage, grade, location, recurrence risk, and overall patient health. Non-muscle-invasive disease is commonly managed with transurethral resection of the bladder tumor, followed by intravesical therapies such as Bacillus Calmette-Guérin or chemotherapy when appropriate. Muscle-invasive disease may require radical cystectomy, often combined with systemic chemotherapy. Advanced or metastatic disease can be treated with immunotherapy, targeted therapy, antibody-drug conjugates, or chemotherapy. Radiation therapy may also be used in selected patients. Intravesical therapy remains an important treatment approach for appropriately selected non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
