Clinical Biomarkers Global Market Report 2024

The clinical biomarkers market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $27.66 billion in 2023 to $30.59 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.6%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be attributed to the increased prevalence of chronic diseases, a focus on personalized medicine and targeted therapies, advancements in drug development and clinical trials, as well as regulatory support and funding.

The clinical biomarkers market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $46.11 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.8%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the expansion of companion diagnostics, a heightened focus on early diagnosis and disease prevention, increasing applications in precision oncology and neurodegenerative diseases, and the growing prevalence of infectious diseases. Major trends in the forecast period include AI-powered biomarker discovery, integration of machine learning, multi-omics integration, technological innovations, and partnerships among key players.

The anticipated increase in cancer prevalence is set to drive the growth of the clinical biomarker market in the future. Cancer refers to a group of disorders characterized by the uncontrolled growth and division of abnormal cells, posing the potential to invade and harm healthy bodily tissues. Clinical biomarkers play a pivotal role in cancer prevention by facilitating early detection, risk assessment, and monitoring of individuals at a high risk of developing cancer. For example, as of May 2021, the National Library of Medicine reports a projected global cancer burden of 28.4 million cases in 2040, reflecting a 47% increase from 2020. Consequently, the high prevalence of cancer serves as a catalyst for the growth of the clinical biomarker market.

The expected rise in the aging population is poised to contribute to the growth of the clinical biomarker market. An aging population signifies a demographic shift marked by an increasing proportion of elderly individuals within a society over time. The global aging population is linked to a heightened prevalence of age-related diseases, necessitating biomarkers to enhance early diagnosis and disease management. As of October 2022, the World Health Organization forecasts that by 2030, one out of every six individuals globally will be 60 years old or older. During this period, the population aged 60 and over is projected to rise from 1 billion in 2020 to 1.4 billion. Furthermore, by 2050, the global population of individuals aged 60 and older is expected to double, reaching 2.1 billion. Hence, the increasing aging population is a significant driver of the clinical biomarker market.

Technological advancements emerge as a prominent trend gaining traction in the clinical biomarker market, with major companies focusing on developing innovative technologies to maintain their market positions. For instance, in June 2023, Veravas Inc., a US-based manufacturer of medicinal products for enhancing laboratory medicine, introduced the VeraBIND (Biomarker Isolation and N-enrichment for Detection) technology. This technology offers a uniquely innovative and comprehensive approach to enhance the precision of biomarker identification, reducing the likelihood of false positive or negative results across various sample types. The implementation of VeraBIND in clinical laboratories can improve diagnostic procedures, aiding in early disease detection and enabling prompt, focused interventions. Additionally, VeraBIND facilitates quicker assay creation, ensuring precision and consistency in studies, clinical trials, and diagnostic screenings.

Major companies in the clinical biomarker market are directing their efforts toward developing innovative solutions, including biomarker blood tests. Biomarker blood tests involve assessing specific biomolecules present in the blood to provide information about various physiological or pathological conditions in the body. For instance, in July 2023, Quanterix Corporation, a US-based ultra-sensitive digital immunoassay platform developing company, introduced the 'LucentAD.' This biomarker blood test is designed to assist in assessing patients exhibiting cognitive symptoms consistent with the initial indications of Alzheimer's disease (AD). LucentAD utilizes the extensively researched Simoa p-Tau 181 assay, which has undergone thorough examination in both large longitudinal and cross-sectional cohorts.

In June 2021, NeoGenomics Laboratories, a US-based testing laboratory company, completed the acquisition of Inivata for $390 million. Through this acquisition, NeoGenomics Laboratories aims to bolster its competitive advantage and increase its market share in the clinical biomarker industry. Inivata is a UK-based biotechnology company offering liquid biopsies.
