According to our new research study on “Lung Cancer Screening Market Size and Forecast to 2030 – COVID-19 Impact and Global Analysis – by Cancer Type, Technology, Age Group, and End User,” the market is expected to grow from US$ 2,326.5 million in 2022 to US$ 4,363.95 million by 2030; it is estimated to record a CAGR 8.2% during 2022–2030. Factors such as increasing incidence of lung cancer and rising government support are driving the lung cancer screening market growth.
Lung cancer screening is a process used to detect lung cancer in otherwise healthy people with a high risk of lung cancer. Lung cancer screening is recommended for older adults who are long time smokers and who don't have any signs or symptoms of lung cancer. Doctors use a LDCT scan of the lungs to look for lung cancer. If lung cancer is detected early, it is more likely to be cured with treatment.

Rising Government Support Drives Lung Cancer Screening Market Growth
The United States Preventive Services Task Force recommends people aged 55–80 with a 30-pack-year (equivalent to smoking 20 cigarettes per day for 30 years) smoking history who are presently smoking or have quit within the last 15 years to undergo annual low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening for lung cancer.
As per the Cancer Australia 2023 report, lung cancer is the most common form of cancer in Australia, accounting for the majority of the mortality rates. Early detection of lung cancer helps improve survival rates. Also, the new screening program will help detect lung cancer during the early stages when treatment is likely to be successful. For example, in July 2021, Cancer Australia partnered with the Department of Health and Aged Care to determine the feasibility of a lung cancer screening program in Australia.
Such rising government support, policies, and approvals by several governments are boosting the lung cancer screening market growth.
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Lung Cancer Screening Market
The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the lung cancer screening market and decreased the number of new patients screening worldwide. According to a study published in the Journal of Immunotherapy of Cancer, in Europe, 60% of cancer screenings were halted, and most reported that initiation visits had to be conducted remotely. Due to the similarity in indication of lung cancer and COVID-19, patients self-isolated to prevent the spread of infectious disease. Moreover, public health organizations’ advice to stay at home resulted in hesitation to attend healthcare services. As a result, the lung cancer screening industry was hampered severely during the pandemic.
With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, national cancer screening services were severely affected due to limited access to nonessential healthcare services and a rise in the requirement for enhanced infection control practices. Also, the crisis had a significant impact on the targeted lung cancer screening properly phased in and involved low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) and pathology that might have been restricted in availability and access due to the pandemic.
