Molecular Oncology Diagnostics Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2018-2028

The Global Molecular Oncology Diagnostics Market is anticipated to witness a steady CAGR in the forecast period, 2024-2028. This can be ascribed to the rising prevalence of various chronic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes, among others. According to Global Cancer Observatory, in 2020, around 19,292,789 new cancer cases were reported worldwide, among which the males and females accounted for 10,065,305 and 9 227,484 cases, respectively. Cancer is caused due to uncontrolled proliferation of cancer cells that starts from the inner lining to the outer region. Molecular oncology diagnostics refers to the tests for diagnosing cancer. These tests are used to identify the genetic material, proteins, or associated chemicals and provide information on health or disease. However, there is a need for developing new diagnostic methods and instruments, which is further expected to drive the growth of the Molecular Oncology Diagnostics Market.

The growing prevalence of cancer cases, the advanced technological advancement with the highest accuracy and precision, and the growing awareness amongst the population globally are projected to propel the growth of the market. Additionally, the high cost of molecular diagnostic techniques is expected to hamper the growth of the Global Molecular Oncology Diagnostics Market in the forecast years.

Rising Prevalence of Cancer

Cancer is one of the most common causes of death in the world. The global increase in cancer cases is probably a factor in the oncology molecular diagnostics market's growth. In the United States of America in 2021, there were 1.8 million new instances of cancer and 0.6 million cancer deaths, according to the American Cancer Society. Due to the proliferation of cancerous cells, medical professionals are increasing their research and development efforts to develop treatments and diagnostics services to aid the prevention and treatment of cancer. Lung, prostate, bowel, and female breast cancer make up the top four cancer types worldwide, accounting for 43% of all new cancer cases, according to the American Cancer Society. For instance, the American Cancer Society estimates that there will be 106,180 new instances of colon cancer and 44,850 new cases of rectal cancer in the United States by the year 2022. Additionally, several professional associations, including the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), the American Association of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), and the College of American Pathologists (CAP), have developed biomarker testing and treatment guidelines, according to the American Cancer Society's 2020 report. Therefore, their treatment or diagnostic imaging is responsible for propelling the growth of Global Molecular Oncology Diagnostic Market.

Advancement in Technology

The advanced technology constitutes the sequencing techniques of genomics. For instance, the advancement in cancer genome sequencing technology, computational analysis, tumor models, and innovation and research going on in modern cancer research institutes promote early detection of cancer and its mutation. For instance, in June 2020, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gave approval to Cobas EGFR Mutation Test, a mutation test for testing patients with non-small cell lung cancer is a real-time test that can identify cancer resistance mutations and 42 mutations in the EGFR gene, which codes for the epidermal growth factor receptor. This molecular test was developed by a US-based company, namely Roche Molecular Systems, Inc.

Recent Developments & Product Launches

Rapid advancements in research and development (R&D) practices and activities are propelling the growth of the market on account of the growing need for developing novel diagnostic solutions for the treatment of different life-threatening diseases like cancer. For instance, in August 2022, Guardant Health expanded its Guardant Reveal test usage and developed a liquid biopsy test for residual disease detection and recurrence monitoring, including early-stage breast and lung cancers. It is currently accessible to patients with breast and lung cancer and is the only tissue-free test for colorectal cancer (CRC).

Additionally, in December 2021, QIAGEN, in partnership with Denovo Biopharma, developed a companion diagnostic test for the treatment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. This test identified people who have the Denovo genomic marker 1 (DGM1), which responded to the Denovo cancer drug DB102.
