The growing prevalence of cancer along with the rising ageing population
The growing prevalence of cancer along with the rising ageing population is expected to propel the growth of the market during the forecast period. For instance, the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare reports that as people age, the probability of developing cancer increases in Australia. Each year, more Australians are diagnosed with cancer as they become older. Australia's population is forecast to increase by 15% (or about 4 million people) between 2021 and 2031, whilst cancer cases are anticipated to rise by around 22% during the same period. Between 2022 and 2031, it's expected that 1.7 million new cases of cancer will be discovered, with about 185,000 of those cases being identified in 2031. Thus, the aforementioned facts are expected to propel the market growth during the projection period.
High cost
Over the anticipated term, market growth is anticipated to be constrained by the high cost of NGS technology. For instance, NGS technology costs around $ 130 per sample, excluding setup fees and training needed before use. Each lab must thus evaluate this cost when compared to their sample-based costs when utilizing a conventional detection method. Therefore, the next-generation sequencing cancer diagnostics' high price serves as a significant inhibitor of market revenue growth.
Increasing collaboration activities
The increasing collaboration among the key market players in the next-generation sequencing industry is expected to offer a lucrative opportunity to market growth during the forecast period. collaboration activities and other business activities promote development and innovation in the industry by expanding the presence of key players in the market. For instance, in July 2023, Pillar Biosciences Inc. and a prominent company in DNA sequencing, Illumina Inc partnered to commercialize Pillar's suite of oncology assays as a part of Illumina's oncology product line. The agreement will lead to a previously unheard-of offering of complementary next-generation sequencing solutions that will improve patient access to personalized cancer treatment options while increasing the efficacy, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness of oncology testing. Thus, such collaboration activities in the upcoming period are expected to act as opportunity for the market.
Based on the technology, the global next generation cancer diagnostics market is segmented into next-generation sequencing, qPCR and multiplexing, Lab-on-a-chip (LOAC) & Reverse Transcriptase-PCR (RT-PCR), Protein Microarrays and DNA Microarrays. The next-generation sequencing is expected to dominate the market over the forecast period. Next-generation sequencing allows for the comprehensive sequencing of a patient's cancer genome, identifying genetic alterations such as mutations, copy number variations, and structural variations. It helps pinpoint specific genes and pathways involved in the development and progression of the cancer.
Moreover, the growing product launches in the field of the next-generation sequencing also drive the segment expansion during the forecast period. For instance, in April 2023, DeciBio Analytics launched the refreshed 2023 NGS Oncology DxBook. A lab-level picture of the clinical NGS market is provided for therapy selection in the NGS oncology DxBook. The NGS Oncology DxBook's initial addition included thorough in-house workflow coverage for 70 US institutions. Thus, this kind of product launch is expected to propel the market expansion during the forecast period.
The proteomic analysis segment is expected to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period. Proteomic analysis is a powerful technique in cancer research and diagnostics that focuses on the study of proteins within a cell, tissue, or organism) is crucial because proteins play key roles in cancer development, progression, and response to treatment. These analyses of cancer is a multidimensional approach that provides critical insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying cancer.
It has wide-ranging applications in diagnosis, prognosis, treatment selection and drug development, making it an invaluable tool in the fight against cancer. As technology continues to advance, proteomics is expected to play an even more prominent role in improving the understanding of cancer and developing more effective therapies. Moreover, the growing products & services by the operating players also drive the market growth. For instance, in April 2023, Biognosys presented novel cancer research using its proteomics platforms and advance data analysis with the introduction of Proteoverse. The data visualization tool Proteoverse makes proteomics data more approachable and makes it simple to spot biologically relevant insights for biomarker and biopharmaceutical research. Therefore, propelling the segment growth.
The breast cancer is expected to grow at the fastest rate over the forecast period. One of the most common kinds of cancer in the world, breast cancer affects a lot of people. The higher growth of the segment is attributed to the growing incidence of breast cancer as well as increased awareness and screening initiatives.
The identification and early diagnosis of breast cancer have improved as a result of advancements in diagnostic technology and screening techniques. Early identification allows for prompt intervention, more potent therapy, and better patient outcomes. The use of cutting-edge imaging methods including mammography, ultrasound, and MRI together with the creation of tests based on biomarkers have improved the efficacy and accuracy of breast cancer detection. Thereby, driving the market growth over the forecast period.
The therapeutic monitoring segment is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period. The demand for efficient therapeutic monitoring has increased as targeted treatments and immunotherapies are being used more often to treat cancer. For best patient results, these cutting-edge therapy techniques frequently need constant monitoring to assess their effect on the tumor.
A real-time monitoring of treatment effectiveness is possible due to next-generation cancer diagnostics which may identify particular genetic mutations or indicators that influence the response to targeted therapy. Additionally, the sensitivity, precision and effectiveness of treatment monitoring have considerably increased due to continuous developments in NGS, liquid biopsies and molecular imaging technologies. For instance, the FDA approved Novartis Pluvicto in March 2022 as the first targeted radioligand therapy for the management of metastatic catration resistance prostate cancer that is progressing and PSMA positive. Thereby, driving the segment growth over the projection period.
