The global aspiration & biopsy needles market size was USD 889 Mn in 2021 and is anticipated to reach USD 1,901 Mn in 2031, growing at a rate of 7.9% from 2022 to 2031.
A needle biopsy is a procedure to obtain a sample of cells from the body for laboratory testing. Common needle biopsy procedures comprise fine-needle aspiration and core needle biopsy. Needle biopsy may be used to take tissue or fluid samples from muscles, bones, and other organs, such as the liver or lungs. The sample from needle biopsy may assist the doctor to determine what’s causing a mass or lump, an infection, and inflammation. One may undergo imaging tests, such as the computerized tomography (CT) scan or an ultrasound, before needle biopsy. Sometimes these tests are used during the needle biopsy procedure to more accurately locate the area to be biopsied.
Scope of the Report
Global Aspiration & Biopsy Needles Market DriversRising prevalence of cancer
Worldwide, there has been a significant rise in the number of people suffering from cancer. This can be indorsed to a number of factors, like lifestyle changes, unhealthy diets, and growing tobacco consumption. According to estimates from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), in 2018, there were 17.0 million new cancer cases and 9.5 million cancer deaths across the globe. By 2040, the global burden is anticipated to grow to 27.5 million new cancer cases and 16.3 million cancer deaths, majorly due to the growth and aging of the population.
The incidence of cancer is the highest in more-developed regions, but mortality is relatively higher in less-developed countries owing to a lack of access to treatment facilities coupled with the lack of awareness regarding the benefits of early detection. According to the American Cancer Society, about 9.6 million people die from cancer every year, and 70% of cancer deaths occur in low-to-middle income countries like China and India; these proportions are expected to grow further by 2025. With the increasing prevalence of cancer in major regions across the globe, the demand for effective cancer diagnosis is anticipated to increase in the upcoming years. This, in turn, is expected to support the growth of the aspiration and biopsy needles market during the forecast period.
Global Aspiration & Biopsy Needles Market OpportunitiesEmerging economies
Emerging economies (such as India, China, Brazil, and Mexico) are anticipated to offer significant growth opportunities for players operating in the aspiration and biopsy needles market. This can be attributed to improvements in the standard of living, the presence of a huge target population base (as a result of the rising prevalence of cancer), improvements and developments in the healthcare infrastructure, rising healthcare expenditure, and the transformation of healthcare research facilities in these countries. Adding to that, the rapid economic development coupled with rising healthcare expenditure in these emerging countries have improved access to quality healthcare, including quality cancer care.
Global Aspiration & Biopsy Needles Market RestraintsRisk of infection associated with the use of aspiration and biopsy needles
Biopsy needle procedures, like core-needle and fine-needle procedures, assist radiologists and surgeons in examining abnormalities at a particular site. Conversely, patients can contract infections during these procedures as they involve cuts and incisions for extracting tissue samples. Moreover, in several cases, aspiration and biopsy needles are reused, which further increases the risk of infection during these procedures. Even though the reuse of some needles is not recommended by healthcare authorities as well as product manufacturers, this practice is still prevalent, especially in developing economies, which is likely to hamper the growth of the market.
Impact of COVID-19 on Aspiration & Biopsy Needles Market
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a significant drop in cancer screening, cancer management visits, and cancer biopsy procedures worldwide. As a result of forced lockdowns, cancer screening services were disrupted to some extent, which ultimately minimized the demand for biopsy needles. The repercussions of delayed cancer detection owing to COVID-19 were investigated in a study undertaken in the UK and published in Lancet Oncology in March 2021. The study covered data from over 100,000 people with breast, colorectal, oesophageal, or lung cancer. It found that 1- and 5-year cancer survival rates will be severely reduced because of the outbreak of COVID-19, due to the reduction in diagnostic biopsies and lack of availability of screening services. Conversely, numerous physician reports from the US have observed a growing number of screening appointments during the last quarter of 2020, which is expected to boost continually.
