April, 2021, Siemens took over Varian Medical Systems to strengthen the competitiveness & independence of Siemens Healthineers. Companies such as Fujifilm Holdings Corporation, Olympus Corporation, BioMerieux S.A. are some of the key innovators in the Market.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The COVID-19 effect caused the market growth to slow down during the pandemic. Pandemic-era lockdown limitations and a suspension of colorectal cancer screening brought this on. To decrease person-to-person contact and conserve hospital and medical resources for those exposed to COVID-19, screening through colonoscopies was completely discontinued in many countries in 2020. The market slowed in growth during the pandemic period when measured by revenue. During the pandemic, there was a decrease in the number of people being examined through government programs.
Market Growth Factors
Growing Risk of Colorectal Cancer
The substantial rise in global colorectal cancer incidence is one of the key factors that favorably influence the market's expansion. The incidence is highest in developed nations, rising in middle- and low-income nations because of unhealthy lifestyle choices and an aging population explosion. Additionally, according to the American Cancer Society, 43,340 new instances of rectal cancer and 104,610 new cases of colon cancer were identified in the United States in 2020, respectively. The demand for CRC detection has increased due to the rising incidence of CRC and the disease's rising death rate, which will likely drive the expansion of the market in the following years.
Government Cancer Screening Policies
Governments in several nations have strengthened screening policies to reduce the incidence of colorectal cancer on a global scale. Governments in several nations have implemented various initiatives, such as regular screening programs for individuals at risk of contracting the disease, to reduce the growing burden of CRC. In Korea, the National Cancer Screening Program offers CRC screening to all adults over 50 at no or at a low cost, according to a study released by the National Library of Medicine in 2019. The usage of various tests is anticipated to increase due to the growing elderly population and government initiatives, which will fuel market expansion overall.
Market Restraining Factors
Negative Effects of Colonoscopies May Lead to Decreased Adoption of Testing
Despite the critical and growing need for advanced and efficient screening procedures, adopting screening devices may be hampered by their inherent limitations. A colonoscopy, for instance, has the highest incidence of positive results and is a highly accurate test. However, the patient may experience several negative side effects from the colonoscopy process, including bleeding and infection. During the forecast period, these restrictions and unfavorable effects related to colorectal cancer screening techniques are anticipated to restrain market expansion.
Type Outlook
By type, the market is segmented into stool-based, colonoscopy, and others. The stool-based segment covered a considerable revenue share in the market in 2022. The diagnosis of colorectal cancer and precancerous lesions using stool-based tests has shown encouraging results, making it a useful tool for early detection. The revolutionary stool-based tests analyze stool samples to find specific DNA markers related to colorectal cancer. Increased government programs for colorectal cancer screening and the efficiency of stool-based tests have contributed to the segment's growth.
Stool-based type Outlook
Under the stool-based segment, the market is further divided into fecal immunochemical test (FIT), fecal occult blood test (FOBT), and stool-DNA test. The fecal immunochemical test (FIT) segment witnessed the largest revenue share in the market in 2022. The FIT, or fecal immunochemical test, is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure used to identify blood in stool. FITs are extensively utilized diagnostic tools for detecting precancerous lesions or early-stage colorectal cancer by detecting blood in stool samples. The development of FITs has focused on enhancing their sensitivity, specificity, and patient friendliness.
End-user Outlook
Based on end-user, the market is bifurcated into hospital & clinics, clinical laboratories, diagnostic imaging centers, and others. In 2022, the hospitals and clinics segment dominated the market with maximum revenue share. The growth of the segment is attributable to the rise in the prevalence of colorectal cancer and technological advancements in screening tests conducted in hospitals globally. The demand for CRC screening is expanding in hospitals and clinics due to elements including a sizable number of hospitals.
Regional Outlook
Region-wise, the market is analysed across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and LAMEA. In 2022, the Asia Pacific region acquired a significant revenue share in the market. The expansion of the regional market is driven by the development and upgrading of healthcare facilities in Asian nations, rising CRC incidence in the region's nations, and rising individual consciousness of better treatment outcomes. It is expected that the rising incidence of colorectal cancer in the region's key countries and the status of colorectal diseases as the primary cause of mortality will also drive market growth in the region.
