The global cancer biopsy market size was estimated at USD 32.32 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 65.68 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 8.3% from 2025 to 2033. The market growth is attributed to the increasing prevalence of cancer, which is propelling the need for innovative diagnostics to provide early and effective diagnostic solutions to patients.
Moreover, the rising awareness of inherited oncology disorders and the rise in genetic testing are further anticipated to drive the growth of the cancer biopsy industry. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) 2022 update highlights that in the U.S. alone, there were approximately 20 million new cases, resulting in deaths of almost 9.7 million cancer-related deaths worldwide. These substantial figures highlight the growing cancer burden and present a significant growth opportunity for the market.
Due to the advantages of liquid biopsy technologies, massive parallel or NGS has emerged as a rapidly growing and evolving technology with increasing applications in various human Products. An increase in alterations of molecules in various types supports the usage of NGS in clinical settings, as it provides a cost- and time-effective way of detecting cancer. Tumor heterogeneity (evaluating different genes at the same time), along with the need for gene profiling, has increased the use of liquid biopsy, which is expected to propel market growth. Moreover, for various applications, such as prostate, breast, non-small-cell lung, colorectal, and ovarian cancer, liquid biopsy is used for diagnostic & screening, making it an important tool.
The increasing incidence of disease is propelling the demand for the diagnosis of cancers at early stages. For instance, as per Global Cancer Statistics 2024, reported by the American Cancer Society, approximately 20 million cancer cases were newly diagnosed in 2022, and 9.7 million people died from it globally. Moreover, the number of cancer cases is predicted to reach 35 million by 2050. When cancer is discovered early and is contained to the organ of origin before it has a chance to spread, survival rates drastically increase, and it is more likely to be effectively cured. Early detection is crucial for lowering cancer-related mortality, especially through efficient screening programs. Early detection increases patient survival rates by 5 to 10 times more than late detection. The 5-year cancer-specific survival rate is only 21% when cancer is discovered after it has spread, as opposed to 89% when it is found early & still localized.
Furthermore, the increasing number of initiatives by various organizations to raise awareness is a major reason for the growing demand for diagnostic products worldwide. Collaborations and partnerships undertaken by CDC, WHO, the National Cervical Cancer Coalition, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, & others are expected to drive market growth by increasing cervical cancer screening rates. In addition, major market players are undertaking initiatives to increase awareness about cervical, vulvar, and vaginal cancer, which is likely to encourage people to opt for screening at regular intervals.
For instance, in 2024, India, the U.S., Australia, and Japan launched the Quad Cancer Moonshot Initiative, which was specifically focused on eliminating cervical cancer across the Indo-Pacific region. Similarly, in October 2024, the University of New South Wales (UNSW) Sydney received a donation of USD 25.9 million from the Swire Group. This funding allowed the Kirby Institute at UNSW Sydney to screen 130,000 women in seven Pacific countries, including Fiji, Kiribati, the Republic of Marshall Islands, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, and Vanuatu, for cervical cancer.
Moreover, awareness among people about early diagnosis and available treatment options and advancements in treatments has substantially improved patient outcomes. According to a Cancer Progress Report published by the American Association for Cancer Research, it was expected that in the U.S., around 2,001,140 new cases of cancer would be diagnosed in 2024, and approximately 611,720 people might die from the Disease.
However, the high cost of diagnostic tests is anticipated to hamper the overall market growth. Diagnostic cancer tests are expensive, increasing the financial burden on families of patients. The government insurance framework is less well-defined in developing countries than in developed countries. Thus, the middle-class patient population who are uninsured cannot afford these tests. In addition, many private insurance players do not cover costs associated with diagnosis in developing countries. As a result, the high cost of diagnosis is limiting the adoption of screening tools, especially in developing countries. However, the scenario is expected to change in the coming years due to booming medical tourism in countries such as India and Malaysia, wherein healthcare treatments & diagnostic solutions are becoming affordable.
