The cancer biomarkers market is valued at USD 28.6 billion in 2024 growing at a CAGR of 5% during the forecast period 2024-2035.
The healthcare industry has witnessed a significant evolution in cancer treatment options over the past few decades, with the introduction of various targeted therapies, immunotherapies, and anti-cancer vaccines. However, clinical cancer research continues to face substantial challenges, including high failure rates, drug / therapy limitations, and potentially fatal adverse effects. A prominent concern revolves around determining the appropriate treatment option for a specific type of cancer, as patients with the same cancer stage and type may exhibit different molecular profiles, leading to varying responses to recommended treatments. To address this concern, pharmaceutical developers and healthcare professionals have adopted a personalized approach known as oncology precision medicine. This approach involves identifying and characterizing molecular markers, many of which have been validated for use in making crucial treatment decisions.
While single analyte biomarkers, such as PD-L1, BRAF, and EGFR, have played an established role across multiple cancer indications, their sole use has proven insufficient in determining patient responses due to subtle differences in individual genomic makeups. Advances in biotechnology have facilitated the development of high-throughput tools, enabling the establishment of better biomarkers based on genome/exome profiles. Novel biomarkers, including tumor mutation burden (TMB), microsatellite instability (MSI) / mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), Single Nucleotide Variants (SNVs), Copy Number Variants (CNVs), and others, are currently being investigated across numerous clinical studies.
Several diagnostics companies have developed or are developing analytical tests for these biomarkers, aimed at assisting physicians in making personalized treatment decisions. Notably, many major pharmaceutical players have shown interest in this domain and have launched clinical research initiatives to investigate the relevance and applications of multiple novel biomarkers.
With the growing interest from established companies and startups alike, the cancer biomarker market is poised for robust growth at a healthy compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in the forecast period, driven by the need for personalized and precise cancer treatment strategies.
