Global Gastric Cancer Diagnostic Market Dynamics:

Growth Drivers: Rising geriatric population has the potential to boost the growth of the gastric cancer diagnostic market. The older a person is, the more likely he is to develop cancer. According to American Cancer Society, the average age of people when they are diagnosed is 68. About 6 of every 10 people diagnosed with stomach cancer each year are 65 or older. Cancer starts when cells in the body get damaged. The older a person gets, the more time there is for cell damage to build up, which can lead to cancer. This can drive the growth of the gastric cancer diagnostics market. Further, the market is expected to grow due to rising disposable income as individuals with larger financial means are more likely to seek preventive medical care, including diagnostic tests, since they can afford the high charges. Other growth drivers driving the market growth includes rising prevalence of gastric cancer, growing healthcare expenditure, rising awareness about early detection, etc.

Challenges: High diagnostic cost can present several challenges for the gastric cancer diagnostic market. Advanced diagnostic technologies often come with substantial financial implications. This high cost can limit accessibility to these diagnostic tools, particularly in regions with limited healthcare budgets and resources. This can lead to delayed or inadequate diagnostic procedures, impacting timely detection and contributing to healthcare disparities. Another challenge that gastric cancer diagnostic market faces is shortage of medical laboratory professionals.

Trends: The rising trend of incorporating Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning in gastric cancer diagnostics is reshaping the field by enhancing precision and efficiency in imaging analysis, automating routine tasks, and facilitating real-time decision support. These technologies contribute to early detection through advanced pattern recognition, personalized risk prediction models, and continuous learning, ultimately improving diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes. The adaptive nature of machine learning ensures that diagnostic processes evolve with emerging trends, marking a transformative shift in the gastric cancer diagnostic landscape. More trends are believed to augment the growth of gastric cancer diagnostic market during the forecasted period include, liquid biopsies, technological advancements, etc.

Impact Analysis of COVID-19 and Way Forward:
