Cancer Biomarkers - Market Insights, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast - 2030

Cancer biomarkers market by type (protein, genetic, and others), by cancer type (breast, lung, colorectal, prostate, and others), by technology (omics, imaging, immunoassay, and others), by application (diagnostics, drug delivery, prognostics, and others), and by geography is expected to advance at a respectable CAGR forecast till 2030 owing to the rising prevalence of cancer worldwide, increase in the risk factors for cancer development, the increasing research & development activities leading to new product launches and approvals in the cancer biomarkers arena across the globe

The global Cancer Biomarkers Market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 13.73% during the forecast period from 2024 to 2030. The Cancer Biomarkers market is observing an optimistic market growth owing to an increase in the prevalence of various types of cancers globally, the growing population with risk factors for cancer development such as smoking, and high-fat diet, among others, and the increasing research & development activities in the cancer biomarkers arena leading to new product launches and increasing regulatory approvals are further expected to result in appreciable revenue growth of the Cancer Biomarkers market during the forecast period (2024-2030).

Cancer Biomarkers Market Dynamics:

One of the main factors for the growth of the Cancer Biomarkers market increase in the prevalence of various types of cancers globally. As per the data cited by the World Health Organization 2022, worldwide around 2.26 million cases of breast, 2.21 million cases of lung, 1.93 million cases of colon and rectum, 1.41 million cases of prostate, and 1.09 million cases of stomach cancer were reported in 2020.

In addition, according to the data provided by GLOBOCAN 2022, worldwide around 19,292,789 new cancer cases were reported in 2020. As per the above-mentioned source, it has been estimated that worldwide there will be around 28,887,942 new cancer cases including 1.40 million new cases of liver, 3.63 million cases of lung, and 666 thousand new cases of kidney cancer, by 2040.

Owing to the presence of a large patient pool suffering from cancers worldwide, the diagnostic and prognostic procedures along with the research and development activities are expected to rise substantially, which would spur the market demand for cancer biomarkers during the forecast period (2024-2030).

However, certain technical issues related to sample collection and storage, high costs incurred in research and development activities, limited infrastructural facilities, and others may act as restraints for the cancer biomarkers market growth.

The Cancer Biomarkers market was negatively impacted during the COVID-19 pandemic. During the initial stage of the pandemic, the sales of all the cancer biomarker tests, diagnoses, and research activities suffered a downfall owing to the imposition of strict lockdown rules, lack of funding, and less sample collection as the majority of the healthcare facilities were involved in tackling the situation of COVID-19. Also, during the pandemic, COVID-19 patients were given more preference in terms of diagnosis and treatment, and this leads to a decreased number of diagnoses and treatments for cancer unless and until the cases involved emergencies or required immediate treatments. However, with the ease of lockdown restrictions, the upturn of resources, and supply chain, and the administration of the vaccine to the public, the demand for cancer biomarkers increased and is expected to grow during the forecast period from 2022 – 2028.

Cancer Biomarkers Market Segment Analysis:

Cancer Biomarkers market by type (protein, genetic, and others), cancer type (breast, lung, colorectal, prostate, and others), technology (Omics, imaging, immunoassay, and others), application (diagnostics, drug delivery, prognostics, and others), and geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World).

In the cancer type segment of the cancer biomarkers market, the breast cancer segment is expected to have a significant revenue share in the year 2023. This can be attributed to the growing prevalence of breast cancer around the world, the growing number of government initiatives to reinforce timely diagnosis and treatment, along with the rising research and developmental activities in the breast cancer biomarkers segment during the forecast period.

As per the World Health Organization (WHO) 2022 data, in 2020 breast cancer was diagnosed in 2.3 million women globally. Further, as per the same source by the end of 2020, there were 7.8 million women alive who were diagnosed with breast cancer in the last 6 years, making it the world’s most prevalent cancer.

Moreover, another key factor that is responsible for the growth of the breast cancer diagnostics market is the rising number of initiatives taken by specific national governments to increase awareness about early screening and diagnosis. For instance, in March 2022, WHO launched a Global Breast Cancer Initiative (GBCI) to reduce global breast cancer mortality by 2.5% per year, which would prevent 25% of breast cancer deaths by 2030 and 40% by 2040 among women under 70 years.

In May 2019, Qiagen, announced the immediate launch of its Therascreen® PIK3CA RGQ PCR Kit (therascreen PIK3CA Kit) after it received the U.S. regulatory (FDA) approval as a companion diagnostic to aid in identifying breast cancer patients eligible for treatment with PIQRAY (alpelisib), a newly approved therapy developed and marketed by Novartis.

Therefore, owing to the aforementioned factors, it is expected that the demand for cancer biomarkers in the breast cancer segment will increase, thereby propelling the overall market for Cancer Biomarkers during the forecast period from 2022–2028.

North America is expected to dominate the overall Cancer Biomarkers Market:

Among all the regions, North America is expected to dominate the global Cancer Biomarkers market in the year 2023 and is expected to do the same during the forecast period from 2024-2030. This domination is due to the rising prevalence of various types of cancers, along with the rising product developmental activities in North America, among others.

As per the figures mentioned by the American Cancer Society 2022, it was estimated that 1.9 million new cancer cases have been diagnosed in the United States in the year 2023. Also, according to the data provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 2022, around 1,752,735 new cases of cancer were reported in the US in 2019. These staggering numbers of cancer prevalence are further expected to bolster the demand for more cancer biomarker identification as early diagnosis is the only way to fight cancer.

In December 2022, The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted premarket approval for Thermo Fisher Scientific's Oncomine Dx Target Test as a companion diagnostic (CDx) to help identify non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients whose tumors carry epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) Exon20-insertion mutations. Thermo Fisher's Oncomine Dx Target Test simultaneously evaluates 23 genes associated with NSCLC.

Therefore, the interplay of various factors such as the presence of a large patient population, as well as product development activities such as gaining regulatory approvals by key market players in the region is expected to boost the North America cancer biomarkers market during the forecast period.
