Skin Cancer Diagnostics Market Report 2025

The skin cancer diagnostics market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.13 billion in 2024 to $3.39 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased incidence of skin cancer, growing aging population, awareness and education programs, government initiatives for early detection.

The skin cancer diagnostics market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.69 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising sun exposure awareness, personalized medicine approaches, telemedicine and remote monitoring, global expansion of healthcare infrastructure. Major trends in the forecast period include integration of digital health platforms, innovative skin cancer drugs, multi-disciplinary approaches, dermatopathology innovations, patient education and awareness.

The skin cancer diagnostics market is poised for growth, driven by the increasing incidence of melanoma. Melanoma, a form of skin cancer arising from melanin-producing cells, necessitates effective diagnostics for early detection and accurate treatment planning. In 2023, the American Cancer Society reported a rise in male melanoma cases in the United States from 57,180 in 2022 to 58,120 in 2023. According to the American Society of Clinical Oncology, melanoma constitutes approximately 1% of diagnosed skin cancers in the United States but is a leading cause of skin cancer-related mortality, projected to claim 7,990 lives in 2023. Consequently, the escalating incidence of melanoma is propelling the skin cancer diagnostics market's growth.

The skin cancer diagnostics market is anticipated to benefit from increased investments in cancer research. This involves allocating financial resources to scientific endeavors aimed at studying, preventing, diagnosing, and treating cancer. Such funding supports the development of innovative technologies, including advanced imaging techniques, molecular diagnostics, and biomarker identification for skin cancer diagnostics. For instance, in March 2022, the Department of Health and Aged Care in Australia allocated $893.5 million to enhance cancer services and outcomes. This substantial investment in cancer research is expected to fuel advancements in skin cancer diagnostics.

Leading companies in the skin cancer diagnostics market are concentrating on developing innovative products, such as the PRAME protein, to improve detection and treatment strategies for melanoma and other skin cancers. PRAME (Preferentially Expressed Antigen in Melanoma) is a cancer/testis antigen that has demonstrated promise as a biomarker for melanoma diagnostics. For example, in October 2022, Roche, a Switzerland-based global healthcare company, introduced the PRAME (EPR20330) Antibody. This antibody is specifically designed to detect PRAME protein expression in tissue samples from patients suspected of having melanoma. It aids in differentiating between benign and malignant lesions, as the presence of PRAME expression indicates malignancy, which is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

Major players in the skin cancer diagnostics market are directing their efforts toward advanced services, including AI-powered pop-up clinics, to gain a competitive advantage. AI-powered pop-up clinics utilize artificial intelligence technologies to offer efficient and technologically advanced medical services. In January 2023, Skin Check Champions, in collaboration with The University of South Australia and The Hospital Research Foundation, introduced an AI-powered pop-up clinic dedicated to skin cancer diagnosis. Managed by nurses, this clinic captures high-quality lesion images, subjecting them to AI algorithms for preliminary diagnoses, later confirmed by local general practitioners.

In August 2022, Bristol Myers Squibb, a US-based biopharmaceutical company, acquired Turning Point Therapeutics Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This strategic acquisition enhances Bristol's portfolio with investigational medicines targeting common oncogenic mutations, including repotrectinib. Turning Point Therapeutics, Inc., is a US-based pharmaceutical company specializing in targeted therapies for breast, ovarian, and melanoma cancer treatment.

Major companies operating in the skin cancer diagnostics market include Pfizer Inc., F. Hoffmann-La Roche Limited, Merck & Co., Bayer AG, Novartis AG, Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, Sanofi, Eli Lilly and Company, Canon Medical Systems Corporation, Amgen Inc., GE Healthcare, Daiichi Sankyo Company Limited., National Cancer Institute, Agilent Technologies Inc., bioMerieux SA, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, Bruker Corp, Almirall, Genentech, Castle Biosciences, Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Limited., American Academy of Dermatology, Biolitec Ag, Alma Lasers, DermTech Inc., SkylineDx BV, DermLite LLC, AMLo Biosciences Limited.

North America was the largest region in the skin cancer diagnostics market in 2024. Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region in the forecast period. The regions covered in the skin cancer diagnostics market report are Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East, Africa. The countries covered in the skin cancer diagnostics market report are Australia, Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Russia, South Korea, UK, USA, Canada, Italy, Spain.

Skin cancer diagnostics involve the processes and methods employed by healthcare professionals to identify and confirm the presence of skin cancer in individuals. These diagnostics typically encompass a combination of clinical examination, imaging techniques, and laboratory tests, aimed at evaluating suspicious skin lesions and assessing the extent and characteristics of the cancer.

The main types of skin cancer diagnostics include basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, malignant melanoma, and others. Basal Cell Carcinoma is the most prevalent form of skin cancer, originating from the basal cells of the skin's lower epidermis. Various diagnostic and therapeutic methods are widely applied in hospitals, clinics, laboratories, and other healthcare settings.
