Growing Prevalence of Cancer Propels Market Growth

In 2020, the number of cancer cases reached 19.3 million, and the number of cancer-related deaths reached 9.96 million. As per the International Agency for Research on Cancer, the count of cancer cases is expected to reach 21.9 million by 2025 and 24.6 million by 2030. According to the February 2021 report by the American Society of Clinical Oncology, ~235,760 adults (119,100 men and 116,6600 women) in the US were diagnosed with lung cancer. GLOBOCAN 2020 data that India accounted for 18.3% of the total new cancer cases recorded in the world; moreover, cervical cancer accounts for 9.4% of all cancer cases. According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), nearly 26,560 new cases of stomach cancer were discovered in the US in 2021, 16,160 men and 10,400 women. Statistics released by the National Breast Cancer Foundation in July 2021, ~63% of breast cancer patients were diagnosed with local-stage breast cancer, 27% were diagnosed with regional-stage breast cancer, and 6% were diagnosed with distant (metastatic) disease. In addition, the increasing prevalence of blood cancer worldwide bolsters the demand for better treatment options and accuracy in removing residual cancer cells. As per the statistics published by the American Cancer Society, an estimated 34,920 new cases of multiple myeloma were diagnosed in the US in January 2022. Such an upsurge in the number of cancer cases is likely to compel governments to launch new cancer prevention programs, which is expected to drive the minimal residue disease testing market growth.

Segmental Analysis:

The minimal residue disease testing market analysis has been carried out by considering the following segments: technique, cancer type, and end use.

Based on technique, the minimal residue disease testing market is segmented into flow cytometry, PCR, NGS, and others. The flow cytometry segment held the largest market share in 2023. The PCR segment is estimated to register the highest CAGR of 12.39% during 2023–2031. The PCR method can detect cancer cells based on characteristic genetic abnormalities such as mutations or chromosomal changes. The technique necessarily involves the amplification of tiny DNA or RNA fragments to aid their detectability and countability. This allows identifying genetic abnormalities even by using samples (such as blood cells or bone marrow) containing a scarce number of cancer cells. The high sensitivity of PCR allows it to detect as low as one cancer cell out of 100,000 normal cells. Obtaining test results can take 5–14 days.

The market, based on cancer type, is divided into leukemia, lymphoma, solid tumors, and multiple myeloma. The solid tumors segment held the largest minimal residue disease testing market share in 2023. The market growth for this segment is attributed to ongoing research studies focused on evaluating patients with solid tumors. There are no accepted recommendations for employing MRD testing for the detection of non-hematologic malignancies. The approach involving circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) as a prognostic biomarker for residual molecular disease diagnosis following solid tumor therapy is rapidly being incorporated into clinical trial design and translational research investigations. This approach is suitable for use in standard clinical care. Although ctDNA detection technologies have evolved rapidly, the low sensitivity of these detection methods reduces their usefulness in the detection of MRD in various clinical applications.

Based on end user, the minimal residue disease testing market is divided into hospitals, specialty clinics, diagnostic laboratories, and others. The hospitals segment held the largest minimal residue disease testing market share in 2022, and the same is anticipated to register the highest CAGR of 12.79% during 2023–2031. Hospitals hold a significant share of the market, which can be primarily attributed to their role in acute care and patient management. Hospital admissions are often necessary for patients suffering severe health conditions, as hospital facilities enable better decision-making capabilities, allowing doctors and healthcare professionals to analyze patients and offer them better treatment options.

Regional Analysis:

The scope of the minimal residue disease testing market report includes North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East & Africa, and South & Central America. The market in North America was valued at US$ 0.93 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach US$ 2.34 billion by 2031; it is expected to register a CAGR of 12.12% during 2023–2031. Significant increase in cancer incidence; the introduction of the latest technologies; and the established proteomics, genomics, and oncology research infrastructure solidify North America's position as a major contributor to the minimal residue disease testing market.

The Asia Pacific minimal residue disease testing market is expected to record the fastest CAGR of 12.68%. The region, especially with countries such as India and China, is home to a sizable pharmaceutical industry. In October 2021, Genetron Health (China) and Jiangsu Fosun (China) began commercializing MRD detection tests in China. They have also promoted Seq-MRD in hematology-focused hospitals and clinics in China in the past. This test offers accuracy, high throughput, cost-effectiveness, consistency, and fast turnaround times. Research is perceived as a primary focus area by major market players to develop novel tests. In addition to the increased focus on research, the surging need for monitoring cancer patients post-treatment continues to drive the minimal residue disease testing market progress in Asia Pacific. Additionally, improvements in healthcare infrastructure and the emerging pharmaceutical sector make Asia Pacific a key hub for the significant growth and development of the market.
