Multicancer Screening Global Market Report 2023: Need for Early Detection of Cancer Bolsters Growth – ResearchAndMarkets.com

The global multicancer screening market is projected to reach $7.78 billion by 2032 from $1.90 billion in 2022, growing at a CAGR of 15.09% during the forecast period 2023-2032.

The growth in the global multicancer screening market is expected to be driven by the increased use of liquid biopsy testing and increasing prevalence of cancers.

Market Lifecycle Stage

Multicancer screening is a cancer screening test that has the potential to screen for more than one cancer type with a single test. This test can be tissue-based or liquid biopsy-based. Most of the newly developed multicancer screening tests in the market right now are liquid biopsy-based, which detects cancer biomarkers in bodily fluids such as blood, saliva, urine, etc. Biomarkers/genetic markers from RNA, DNA, or protein are analyzed from these samples. If any of these biomarkers or gene mutations are positive in the analysis, further follow-up tests need to be performed to confirm the findings.

Some multicancer screening tests can also identify the tissue of the origin of cancer, while others need imaging tests to verify the origin. There are a lot of laboratory-based multicancer screening tests available in the market right now, and a few have also received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and conformite europeenne (CE) approvals as well. Multicancer screening tests are also important because, according to the America Cancer Society, Inc., 70% of all cancer deaths are from cancers that still do not have any proven individual screening tests. This can be extremely decreased with the advent of new biomarkers through increasing funding investments in multicancer screening tests.

Impact

  • For instance, in October 2020, Exact Sciences Corporation launched Oncotype MAP Pan-Cancer Tissue test for patients with metastatic, advanced, recurrent, or refractory cancer. The Oncoptype MAP test provides clinically actionable information from hundreds of cancer-related genes that allows physicians to understand the tumor profile of patients and recommend effective clinical trials or targeted therapies.
  • In February 2022, GRAIL, LLC. (Illumina, Inc.) collaborated with Point32Health for a two-phased pilot trial of Galleri, which is GRAIL’s proprietary multicancer blood test. With this collaboration, Point32Health is the first health plan that would work with GRAIL to complement the recommended cancer screenings.

Market Segmentation

  • Others

The global multicancer screening market (by sample) is expected to be dominated by the tissue segment during the forecast period 2023-2032. This is due to the high validation and trust on these tests as compared to the newer liquid biopsy-based tests.

Segmentation 4: by Method

  • DNA
  • RNA
  • Proteins

The DNA segment is expected to dominate the global multicancer screening market (by method) during the forecast period 2023-2032. This growth in this segment is attributed to the fact that DNA analysis is the most convenient, even with the fast-growing liquid biopsy methods.

Segmentation 5: by Cancer Type

  • Breast and Gynecologic
  • Gastrointestinal
  • Endocrine
  • Genitourinary
  • Skin
  • Brain/Nervous System
  • Sarcoma
  • Hematological Malignancies
  • Lung
  • Head and Neck
  • Other Cancer Types

The global multicancer screening market (by cancer type) is expected to be dominated by the breast and gynecological segment during the forecast period 2023-2032. This is because the high prevalence of these cancer types and high number of known biomarkers makes them easy to screen for.

Segmentation 6: by Application

  • Clinical
  • Research

As of 2021, the global multicancer screening market (by application) was dominated by the research segment, holding a 85.06% market share.

Segmentation 7: by End User

  • Hospitals
  • Diagnostic and Clinical Laboratories
  • Academic and Research Institutions
  • Other End Users

As of 2021, the global multicancer screening market (by end user) was dominated by the academic and research institutions segment, holding a 62.17% market share.

Segmentation 8: by Region

  • North America
  • Europe
  • Asia-Pacific
  • Latin America
  • Rest-of-the-World

North America is expected to dominate the global multicancer screening market with a revenue of $0.87 billion in 2021. However, the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, constituting several emerging economies, is expected to register the highest CAGR of 17.60% during the forecast period 2023-2032.
