Report Overview

Global Cancer Biomarkers Market Forecast and Trends

The global Cancer Biomarkers market has reached 13.065 Billion in 2019 and is estimated to reach USD 29.45 Billion in 2026 and might grow by CAGR of 12.61% during the forecast period 2020-2026. The growth of the market is upheld by the surging prevalence of cancer, coupled with the rising awareness about the usage of biomarkers at several stages of cancer. Lack of physical activities, frequent sun & U.V. exposure, improper diet, and growing tobacco consumption are essential factors attributed to cancer's escalating prevalence. Around 22% of cancer deaths are caused due to tobacco consumption and are regarded as the principal risk factor for cancer. Besides, few internal factors such as hormonal imbalance, genetic mutation, and metabolic mutation contribute to the surge in cancer cases, increasing cancer biomarkers' demand.

Moreover, the rising demand for clinical diagnosis in cancer's early stages and growing geriatric population base further propel cancer biomarkers' usage rates. Surging utilization of the biomarkers in surrogate endpoints & drug targets developments, increasing interest among researchers & students regarding cancer diagnostic researchers are few crucial success factors for the growth of the global cancer biomarkers market.

Global Cancer Biomarkers Market Overview:

Cancer biomarkers are chemicals that are released during the presence of a tumor, or a clear indicator of cancer in the body. These are either a liquid, a molecule, or a physical occurrence that indicates cancerous cells. These molecules are typically found in urine, tissues, blood, serum, and other body fluids that exhibit any unusual disease method. Cancer biomarkers are traceable substances that can be used as a biological tumor status indicator and can assess cancer diagnostic and prognostic levels. Cancer prevention by diagnosing and evaluating various biomarkers of cancer using specific diagnostic techniques is a profound method for achieving rapid treatment outcomes.

Growth drivers

Technological advancements

There have been significant technological developments over diagnostic imaging, immunoassays, omics technologies, and bioinformatics. Omics technology developments allow faster acquisition of proteomic, genomic, and metabolomics data and its alliance with clinical trial data using advanced bioinformatics tools. Over the past decade, the omics movement has growing biomarker applications in biomedical research. Additionally, developments in high-throughput genomic technologies facilitate the identification and analysis of crucial gene mutations and polymorphisms, thereby expanding the spectrum of available genomic biomarkers.

Increased incidence and prevalence of different types of cancer

A surge in cancer cases among the global population has boosted the demand for the Cancer Biomarkers. As per the World Health Organization, it might increase cancer cases over the next two decades. Cancer is mainly prevalent in lower and middle-income nations since they lack suitable healthcare infrastructure to effectively combat the condition. Besides, the cancer cases were higher in men than in women.

Restraints

Technical issues concerning collection and storage of samples

Most epidemiological studies use biomarkers to examine various stages of human disease. It requires careful handling and storage of sensitive biological samples to obtain a great deal of information from small pieces and reduce future research costs using banked samples. Also, risk detection, screening, diagnosis, and monitoring processes require different models. Furthermore, detailed tracking, specimen storage, and recovery software are needed for proper sample handling and management. Such problems might hamper the overall market growth of cancer biomarkers.

Global Cancer Biomarkers Market: Type

Based on Type, the Cancer Biomarkers market segmented into Protein Biomarker, Genetic Biomarker, and Others (cell, viral, and carbohydrate biomarkers). The genetic biomarker segment is forecasted to dominate during the forecast period, owing to technological advancements to detect the mutation. Gene expression profiling (microarray), Next-generation sequencing (NGS), and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) are the essential technologies used for genetic biomarker discovery and diagnosis. Advancements in high-throughput technologies are the major factors driving the cancer biomarkers market.
