Rising populations & increasing life expectancies with aging populations resulted in higher healthcare needs & pharmaceutical consumption, owing to increased prevalence of the chronic illnesses. According to the United Nations, the global number of people aged 65 -years & above is expected to double in 30 yrs, increasing to 1.6 Bn, by 2050, and is projected to constitute 16.5% of the total population in 2050. The impact of an aging population is higher in countries such as Japan and member states of the European Union (EU4), where the population aged above 65 accounts for approximately 30% of the total population.

Increasing focus on the development of targeted therapies to address the specific molecular and genetic characteristics of individual cancers. These targeted therapies aim to provide more effective and personalized treatment options for patients, reducing the potential side effects associated with conventional chemotherapy. The combination of a rising number of cancer cases and the advancements in targeted therapy development are driving positive growth in the market for oncology treatments. This trend is expected to continue as researchers and pharmaceutical companies work to develop even more innovative and precise therapies to combat various types of malignancies.

Industry Dynamics

Growth Drivers

Early cancer detection and personalized treatment strategies

Increasing awareness among patients and healthcare professionals about the importance of early diagnosis of malignancies. Early detection of cancer is crucial as it allows for timely intervention and treatment, which can significantly improve patient outcomes and increase the chances of successful recovery. Biomarkers play a critical role in early cancer detection as they can indicate the presence of cancer cells or specific genetic changes associated with cancer, even before clinical symptoms manifest.

Moreover, rising demand in rising demand for personalized medicine in cancer treatment also escalating market demand. Personalized medicine aims to tailor treatment plans based on an individual's unique genetic makeup, lifestyle, and other factors. Biomarkers serve as important tools in personalized medicine as they can help identify specific subtypes of cancer, predict the response to certain treatments, and monitor disease progression. By using biomarkers to customize treatment approaches, healthcare professionals can optimize therapeutic outcomes and minimize the risk of adverse effects.

Genetic biomarkers segment accounted for the largest market share in 2022

Genetic biomarkers segment held the largest share in 2022. Due to their widespread adoption, high level of reliability, and ease of analysis, genetic biomarkers have dominated a substantial portion of the market. These biomarkers have been instrumental in detecting over 85% of cancer cases, leveraging both genetic and proteomic approaches.

Epigenetics segment will grow at substantial pace. In the realm of cancer diagnostics, epigenetics has experienced widespread acceptance. Numerous entities are actively engaged in extensive research to explore significant epigenetic modifications associated with cancer. Their aim is to develop biomarkers for targeted drug development. The growing collaboration between pharmaceutical companies and research institutions focused on epigenetic biomarkers is projected to drive substantial growth in this sector.

By Biomolecule

Breast cancer held the largest share of the market in 2022

Breast cancer segment garnered the largest share in 2022. Segment’s growth is primarily attributed increasing cases of breast cancer, and key drug launches. Breast cancer ranks among the leading types of cancer in the United States. According to a January 2022 update by breastcancer.org, approximately 1 in 8 women in the country (around 13%) are likely to develop breast cancer. In 2022, it is projected that there will be an estimated 287,850 new cases of breast cancer diagnosed in the women, also around 51,400 new cases of the in-situ breast cancer.

Furthermore, the same source indicates that about 2,710 new cases of the breast cancer are were diagnosed in the men in 2022, with a man's life-time risk of developing cancer being approximately 1 in 833. These statistics highlight the significant impact of breast cancer on both women & men in the U.S. and emphasize the importance of continued efforts in research, early detection, and treatment to reduce the burden of cancer.

Lung cancer will grow at rapid pace. This growth is attributed to the increasing adoption of diagnostic tests that specifically target EGFR and BRAF mutations, which serve as crucial biomarkers for identifying non-small cell lung cancer. As a result, this segment is expected to witness significant expansion.

By Application

Drug & discovery segment held the largest revenue share

Drug & discovery segment held the significant market share. Cancer biomolecules have diverse applications across multiple fields, including drug discovery, development, diagnostics, and personalized medicine. Among these applications, diagnostics played a pivotal role in generating revenue for the market. This can be attributed to the rising development of oncology tests based on biomarkers with high specificity and sensitivity, enhancing their effectiveness in accurately detecting and diagnosing cancer-related conditions.

Personalized medicine expected to grow at rapid pace. The field of personalized medicine is expected to experience robust growth due to its increasing demand and growing awareness among healthcare professionals.
