The global cancer diagnostics market size was estimated at USD 124.96 billion in 2021 and expected to reach around USD 258.54 billion by 2030, poised to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4% during the forecast period 2022 to 2030. Growing number of cancer patients across the world is one of the major driving factors promoting the growth of the cancer diagnostics market.
Cancer diagnostics is a process of discovering biomarkers, proteins, and other indicators that lead to the detection of a cancerous tumor. Diagnostic testing is used to confirm or rule out the presence of sickness, track disease progression, and schedule and analyze treatment outcomes. Imaging, tumor biopsy, laboratory tests (including tumor marker tests), endoscopic examination, surgery, and genetic testing are all possible cancer diagnostic techniques.
The process of detecting numerous proteins, biomarkers, and certain symptoms that lead to the discovery of the presence of malignant tumor in a patient is known as cancer diagnostics. The diagnosis process is aided by the detection of particular proteins and biomarkers that are common in cancer illnesses. The method of identifying cancer entails the use of specific technologies and gadgets designed for cancer diagnostics.
As per the national cancer institute estimation, the number of new cases is expected to rise to 29.5 million per year. Increasing mortality rate due to cancer also lead to public awareness which promote the growth of the market. In addition, high per capita health care expenditure of the countries like USA, Germany, and Japan is considered as a one of the major driving factors for the growth of cancer diagnostics market. Technological advancement in the field of screening of cancer is another factor which further promotes the growth of the market. Advanced screening which further decrease the mortality rate of the patients finds its importance in the field of cancer diagnostics.
Large number of screening procedures are carried out by the governments of several nations for the early detection of the stages of the cancer. Heavy investment by the private firm in the diagnostic centers is also considered one of the boosting factors particularly in the developing countries. Many developing countries like India, Indonesia, and Bangladesh are looking for the refurbish diagnostic imaging device which create the huge demand in the global market.
Cancer like prostrate, colorectal, lungs accounts for more than 43% of overall cancer diagnosed in the men in the year 2020. Three most common cancer associated with women are breast, Lungs and colorectal. These three cancer accounts for more than 50% of total cancer in the women in 2020. Technological advancement in the diagnosis and screening method is considered as one of the major upcoming opportunities within prediction period. Despite of growing awareness, high cost per visit to the center followed by less urbanization is often considered as one of the major factors which hinders the growth of the market. High cost and lack of availability of trained professionals in the field of oncology is considered as one of other factors which restrict the growth of the market. High Illiteracy rate in the developing countries also associated with restricted growth.Furthermore, recent, pandemic of COVID-19 delayed the development of cancer diagnostics market.
Cancer is one of the most common causes of death in the world.
Cancer today is one of the most common causes of mortality worldwide. As per the World Health Organization (WHO), it is estimated thataround 10 million people died due to cancer in 2020. The escalated death numbers were due to the factors such as excessive alcohol use, tobacco use, an unhealthy lifestyle, a lack of physical fitness, and other disorders such as diabetes can all lead to numerous cancer forms. If cancer is identified early, the mortality rate can be reduced. As a result, early detection, screening, and precise cancer diagnosis are critical. Cancer diagnostics is one such method that aids in the identification of various proteins and biomarkers that assist in the detection of cancer. Imaging, laboratory tests, genetic tests, biopsy, and endoscopy are some of the most commonly utilized cancer diagnostic tests. The increasing volume of tests performed further add boost to the market growth.
Early detection and good treatment are critical in the fight against cancer.
The market is being driven by the constant development of new products, as well as the growing need for early diagnosis of different cancers. Furthermore, the penetration of technologically advanced laboratory equipment has enhanced oncological screening in providing accurate results, resulting in significant growth of the healthcare and diagnostics sector. As the prevalence of cancer rises, so does the demand for these screening tests and imaging modalities used to track disease development.Early detection has been shown to save lives when it comes to cancer. Some people with cancer who are diagnosed and treated early may have a greater long-term survival rate than those who are not diagnosed until symptoms arise. Therefore, cancer diagnostics market is highly influenced by the elevated number of early diagnosis procedures worldwide.
Market Dynamics
Drivers
Rising prevalence of cancer
Cancer has a significant social impact all around the world. It is one of the top causes of death worldwide, with established and emerging markets having a higher prevalence. The disturbing trend of rising cancer prevalence encourages healthcare providers to reconsider their treatment aims and place a greater emphasis on prevention. This would necessitate cancer diagnostics that are not only specific and sensitive, but also capable of early detection and treatment. As the global prevalence of various types of cancer rises, the global cancer diagnostics market is predicted to grow at rapid pace during the forecast period.
Opportunities
Introduction of novel diagnostic biomarkers
The increased understanding of certain cancer biomarkers is creating a huge commercial opportunity for treating cancer patients through improved detection technology and equipment. The identification of prospective cancer biomarkers has been made possible by technological developments in the field of biotechnology, and some of these biomarkers have been marketed. As a result, the introduction of novel diagnostic biomarkers is creating lucrative opportunities for the growth of the cancer diagnostics market.
Challenges
Surge in the use of rebuilt diagnostic imaging
Due to high costs and budgetary constraints, many hospitals in developing nations are unable to invest in diagnostic imaging equipment. However, due to the high demand for diagnostic imaging procedures in these countries, the hospitals that can’t afford to purchase new and advanced imaging systems prefer to use rebuilt imaging systems. Thus, this factor is huge challenge for the cancer diagnostics market growth during the forecast period.
