Market Overview

In vitro diagnostics (IVD) tests are performed on blood samples, urine samples, stool samples, or tissue samples that provide medical information used to diagnose conditions from mild infections to life-threatening cancers. IVDs can also be used self-administered by patients mostly for monitoring of chronic diseases. In vitro diagnostics offer the opportunity to detect cancer early for more effective and timely treatment. IVDs are specific tests or medical devices that examine specimens taken from the human body and provide essential data for screening, diagnosis, and treatment.

Market Dynamics

Driver

Increasing prevalence of cancer

The global incidence of cancer continues to rise, hence making people more interested in diagnostic procedures, thus fueling the growth of the cancer IVD market. The rapidly growing cancer burden reflects both population aging as well as changes in people’s exposure to risk factors, several of which are associated with socioeconomic development. Tobacco, alcohol, and obesity are key factors behind the increasing incidence of cancer, with air pollution still a key driver of environmental risk factors. Cancer rates are highest in countries whose populations have the highest life expectancy, education level, and standard of living.

  • Data published by WHO estimated that in 2022, there were 20 million new cancer cases and 9.7 million deaths. About 1 in 5 people develop cancer in their lifetime. Approximately 1 in 9 men and 1 in 12 women die from the disease. Over 35 million new cancer cases are predicted in 2050, a 77% increase from the estimated 20 million cases in 2022.
  • As per the National Cancer Institute, by 2040, the number of new cancer cases per year is expected to rise to 29.9 million and the number of cancer-related deaths to 15.3 million.

The Burden of Cancer Worldwide (in Million)

Restraint

Regulatory hurdles

Regulatory compliance can act as a limiting factor for the cancer IVD market.
