An increasing number of initiatives by governments and growing investment in research are also expected to create lucrative opportunities for the growth of the thyroid cancer diagnostics market during the forecast period.

A growing number of thyroid cancer cases is expected to drive global thyroid cancer diagnostics market growth during the forecast period

The growing number of thyroid cancer cases around the world poses a significant challenge. According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer, there were 586,202 new thyroid cancer cases around the world in 2020 with 43,646 deaths. According to Cancer Research UK, an English charity that is registered in England and Wales, there are about 3,700 thyroid cancer cases every year, or about 10 each day.The charity further states that thyroid cancer incidence rates have increased by more than two-thirds (68%) in the UK over the last decade. Due to an increasing number of thyroid cancer cases around the world, the global thyroid cancer diagnostics market is projected to grow during the forecast period as the number of thyroid cancer cases increases.

The ever-increasing obese population is expected to create growth opportunities for the global thyroid cancer diagnostics market during the forecast period

Obesity is a modern pandemic that is affecting more and more people around the world. Obesity is well known to be linked to a variety of diseases, including cancers such as breast cancer, endometrial cancer, colon cancer, esophageal adenocarcinoma, and prostate cancer.Studies are now showing that obese people are also at a higher risk of thyroid cancer. According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), people who are overweight or obese have a higher risk of developing thyroid cancer than those who are not. The body mass index (BMI) is a widely used measure of obesity, and a high BMI is associated with an increased risk of thyroid cancer.According to WHO, more than 2.8 million die every year due to obesity, and the prevalence of obesity is increasing at a rapid rate. The rise in obesity is likely to lead to higher rates of thyroid cancer, which will benefit market growth during the forecast period.

COVID-19 Impact on Global Thyroid Cancer Diagnostics Market

The COVID-19 affected the global thyroid cancer diagnostics market negatively as the number of diagnosed cases went down in 2020. The focus on COVID-19 resulted in delays in cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment because of reduced access to health care. The decrease in cancer diagnoses will likely be followed by an increase in late-stage diagnoses and preventable cancer deaths. The American Cancer Society and other organizations recommended routine cancer screenings and other elective medical procedures for the timely diagnosis of thyroid cancer during the pandemic. However, lockdown and travel bans made it difficultfor people to get a cancer diagnosis during the pandemic. Furthermore, the market recovery was halted in the first and second quarters of 2021 as a result of the second wave of the COVID-19 and the emergence of deadlier variants of the COVID-19. Moreover, the looming threat of the third wave of the COVID-19 in the fourth quarter of 2021 and growing cases of delta-variants are expected to affect the recovery of the global thyroid cancer diagnostics market.
