For instance, according to the American Cancer Society (ACS), in 2022, around 26,380 new cases of stomach cancer and around 11,090 deaths from this type of cancer are reported in the U.S.
"Amongst technology, the real-time-polymerase chain reaction category is expected to witness the significant CAGR during the forecast period”
Based on technology, the companion diagnostics market is segmented into real-time-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), gene sequencing, In situ hybridization, and others. The real-time-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) category is anticipated to witness a considerable growth rate during the forecast period. This is mainly due to the RT-PCR technique being effective in detecting cancer and chronic diseases with ease and accuracy. Moreover, major market companies are working on the development of new products and technologies these factors are also contributing to the growth of this market during the forecast period. For instance, in addition, in July 2021, Labcorp launched therascreen KRAS PCR Mutation Analysis, a companion diagnostic to identify patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who are eligible for therapy with LUMAKRAS (sotorasib), a novel therapeutic option developed by Amgen.
"North America to witness significant growth during the forecast period”
For a better understanding of the market, the report provides a detailed analysis of major regions and countries including North America (U.S., Canada, Rest of North America); Europe (Germany, U.K., France, Spain, Italy, Rest of Europe); Asia-Pacific (China, India, Japan, Rest of Asia-Pacific) and Rest of World. North America accounted for a considerable market share during the forecast period. The large hospital administration of the patients, rising demand for diagnostic devices due to the surge of cancer & chronic disease, and the presence of medical device manufacturers in the region. These factors will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period in the region. For instance, according to the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among men in the U.S., with a 60% occurrence rate in men over the age of 65. Approximately 61,860 patients are expected to die from prostate cancer in California in the year 2021.
