In 2013, the market was worth US$100.9 bn and is projected to rise to a valuation of US$168.6 bn by the end of 2020. Based on the broad categories of cancer diagnostics technologies, the segment of imaging is likely to remain the most popular owing to high accuracy and easy availability across the globe. Geographically, the market in North America is presently the leading revenue contributor to the global market. However, the market is Asia Pacific is quickly gaining pace and is likely to emerge as the one with the most promising growth opportunities over the report’s forecast period.
Increased Funds Diverted Towards R&D Activities and Focus on Improvement of Diagnostics and Therapeutic Infrastructure to Drive Market Globally
The crucial role of diagnostics in deciding the variety and pace of treatment that shall be prescribed is one of the key factors driving the global cancer diagnostics market, especially in a time when cancer has become one of the leading causes of deaths and one of the most common chronic diseases globally. With cancer-related deaths and incidence rates of cancer rising at an alarming pace globally, healthcare authorities and governments across the globe are realizing the urgent need for establishing effective diagnostics and treatment facilities. The consecutive rise in funds and encouraging medical reimbursement facilities in a number of countries are driving the global cancer diagnostics market.
Medical institutions and research bodies are investing increased funds in the development of advanced techniques and improving the existing ones to cater to the needs of patients. The advent of breakthrough techniques for cancer detection such as transcriptomics, genomics, metabolomics, and proteomics and the easy availability of advanced therapeutic technologies in emerging economies are also likely to drive the market.
Dearth of Skilled Human Resources and Need for High Initial Capital Investment to Hinder Market Growth
The growth of the market for global cancer diagnostics is extensively dependent on research and development activities and development of innovative products. In spite of the advent of advanced techniques, the market is likely to face challenges such as low cost benefit ratio of biomarkers and high initial capital investments. The shortage of helium and expensive systems for diagnostic imaging are further expected to hinder the growth of the market to a certain degree.
