Pancreatic Cancer Diagnostic Market Report 2025

The pancreatic cancer diagnostic market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.24 billion in 2024 to $4.55 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growing genomic and molecular profiling, chemotherapy developments, radiation therapy refinements, research on pancreatic cancer genetics, awareness campaigns, and early detection efforts.

The pancreatic cancer diagnostic market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.38 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to liquid biopsy advancements, targeted therapies, artificial intelligence in diagnostics, personalized medicine approaches, early detection biomarkers, and neoadjuvant therapies. Major trends in the forecast period include immunotherapy research, advancements in imaging technologies, surgical innovations, global collaborative research initiatives, and integration of big data analytics.

The anticipated growth in the pancreatic cancer diagnostic market is expected to be propelled by the increasing prevalence of pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer, characterized by the development of malignant cells in the pancreas tissues, is on the rise, primarily attributed to factors such as smoking, diabetes, chronic pancreatitis, family history of pancreatic cancer, inflammation of the pancreas, and certain genetic disorders. Diagnosing pancreatic cancer is crucial for guiding treatment decisions, determining the cancer stage, identifying specific tumor characteristics, and tailoring treatment approaches to enhance outcomes and optimize patient care. According to the American Society of Clinical Oncology in 2023, it is estimated that 64,050 individuals in the United States will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, making it the eighth most common cancer in women and the tenth most common in men. The incidence of new cases of pancreatic cancer has been increasing by about 1% per year in both men and women. Consequently, the growing prevalence of pancreatic cancer is a significant driver behind the expansion of the pancreatic cancer diagnostic market.

The rising healthcare spending is contributing to the growth of the pancreatic cancer diagnostic market moving forward. Healthcare spending encompasses the total financial resources allocated to the healthcare sector within a specific region, country, or organization. This spending is directed toward pancreatic cancer diagnostics to enable early detection, accurate staging, and timely intervention, all of which aim to enhance patient outcomes and survival rates. For example, in November 2023, the Canadian Institute for Health Information reported that total health spending in Canada is expected to reach $344 billion in 2023, which equates to $8,740 per person. This represents a 2.8% increase from the previous year, when health spending grew by only 1.5% in 2022, highlighting a significant rebound in healthcare investment. Therefore, the increase in healthcare spending is driving the growth of the pancreatic cancer diagnostic market.

Product innovations stand out as a prominent trend gaining traction in the pancreatic cancer diagnostic market, with companies actively adopting innovative solutions to maintain their competitive positions. One noteworthy example is the introduction of Prestige Biopharma Limited's first-in-class PAUF-detecting diagnostic kit in March 2023. This diagnostic tool is designed for the early detection of pancreatic cancer, leveraging the identification of PAUF (Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Upregulated Factor), a unique tumor-specific biomarker associated with early metastasis and prevalent in approximately 80% of pancreatic cancer cases. The innovative diagnostic technique exhibits high sensitivity and specificity in identifying PAUF, with preliminary studies indicating nearly a 1.9 times higher expression level of PAUF in the blood plasma of pancreatic cancer patients compared to healthy individuals, as reported by Prestige Biopharma's Innovative Discovery Center.

A focus on developing screening tests for pancreatic cancer is another notable strategy among major companies in the pancreatic cancer diagnostic market. Screening tests are designed to detect the presence of pancreatic cancer at an early, asymptomatic stage, enabling timely intervention and improving treatment outcomes. An example is the N-NOSE plus Pancreas test launched by Hirotsu Bio Science in December 2022. This test, marketed directly to consumers in Japan, utilizes the olfactory senses of nematodes, tiny worms, for pancreatic cancer detection.

In January 2024, Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS), a US-based biopharmaceutical company, announced its acquisition of Mirati Therapeutics, Inc. for $4.8 billion. This strategic move bolsters BMS's portfolio by incorporating Mirati's innovative cancer treatment assets, particularly those aimed at pancreatic cancer. With this acquisition, BMS intends to utilize its global scale and resources to accelerate the delivery of more effective treatments to cancer patients. Mirati Therapeutics, Inc. is a US-based biotech firm specializing in pancreatic cancer diagnosis.

Pancreatic cancer diagnostics involve the procedures and techniques employed to identify, classify, and stage pancreatic cancer, aiming to ascertain the condition's nature, assess disease severity, and guide treatment decisions. This diagnostic approach is commonly applied to address different types of pancreatic cancer, including adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and insulinoma.

The primary categories of pancreatic cancer diagnostic products comprise instruments, consumables, and services. Instruments refer to tools or devices utilized to perform specific tasks or achieve desired outcomes during diagnostic procedures, often involving the manipulation or examination of biological tissue. Various treatment modalities, such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and targeted therapy, are employed to address different types of pancreatic cancer, including exocrine, adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, adenosquamous carcinoma, colloid carcinoma, and endocrine. Diagnostic tests encompass a range of methods, including imaging tests, biopsies, blood tests, genomic tests, among others. These tests are utilized by diverse end-users, including hospitals, diagnostic centers, cancer research centers, academic institutes, ambulatory surgical centers, and other healthcare facilities.
