Population screening is a systematic process aimed at evaluating the prevalence of a specific trait or disease within an entire population or a subgroup. The objective is to effectively identify individuals or groups at risk of developing a particular condition, distinguishing it from diagnostic testing.
The primary products associated with population screening include hardware equipment, testing or laboratory services, and analytics or interpretation tools. Hardware assumes a pivotal role in population screening by providing essential tools and equipment necessary for conducting screening tests, collecting data, and delivering healthcare services. Businesses engaged in population screening cater to various age groups, including males and females under 15, those between 15 and 65, and individuals aged 65 and above. These screening services are typically offered by a range of entities, including hospitals, research institutes, and diagnostic laboratories.

The population screening market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $29.31 billion in 2024 to $31.46 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to disease prevention initiative, government health policies, rising healthcare costs, increased disease awareness
The population screening market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $41.51 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to shift towards personalized medicine, aging population and chronic diseases, integration of ai and data analytics, expansion of screening access. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in medical technology, genomics and precision screening, telehealth and remote screening, multi-disease screening panels, health equity and accessibility.
The increasing prevalence of cancer is projected to drive the growth of the population screening market in the future. Cancer occurs when certain cells in the human body grow abnormally and spread to other areas of the body. Population screening can facilitate early detection of cancer, making it more treatable and improving prognosis. For example, in January 2023, reports from the American Cancer Society Inc., a US-based voluntary health organization, indicated that there were 608,570 cancer deaths in 2022, alongside an estimated 1.9 million new cancer cases, compared to 606,520 cancer deaths in 2021. Therefore, the rising prevalence of cancer is fueling the growth of the population screening market.
The expanding proportion of aging individuals is anticipated to propel the growth of the population screening market. Aging individuals encompass those who are in the process of growing older or have reached advanced age milestones. Regular population screenings tailored to the specific health needs of aging individuals can significantly contribute to successful aging and better health outcomes. For instance, in June 2023, The United States Census Bureau, a governmental agency in the United States, reported a 0.2-year increase in the country's median age, reaching 38.9 years in 2022, indicating a continual aging trend within the population. Consequently, the growing proportion of aging individuals serves as a driving force behind the expansion of the population screening market.
Leading companies in the population screening market are developing advanced services like newborn mass screening to improve early detection and enhance infant health outcomes. Newborn mass screening is a public health initiative in which newborns are tested shortly after birth for various genetic, metabolic, hormonal, and functional disorders that may not be evident at birth but can result in serious health issues if untreated. For example, in May 2024, Shimadzu Techno-Research Inc., a contract analysis firm and subsidiary of Japan-based Shimadzu Corporation, launched a new contract service that conducts polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing for expanded newborn mass screening. This service will screen for conditions like severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), B-cell deficiency (BCD), and spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), which affect a small percentage of newborns but require immediate intervention upon diagnosis.
Major players in the population screening market are introducing new products for targeted disease screening to enhance their profitability. Specific disease screening within population screening refers to the focused identification of individuals at risk for certain diseases within a larger population. For instance, in October 2023, DELFI Diagnostics, a US-based company specializing in advanced machine learning and fragment omics, unveiled First Look Lung. This innovative blood test employs whole-genome machine learning to analyze cell-free DNA fragments as cancer markers. This convenient laboratory-developed test can be easily integrated into routine blood screenings. Its notable features include a 99.7% negative predictive value, effectively ruling out lung cancer, and high sensitivity for detecting early-stage disease. The test provides personalized, actionable reports to healthcare providers, offering a potential solution to improve the low lung cancer screening rates in the United States.
In January 2024, Natera, a US-based biotechnology firm, acquired Invitae for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition aims to broaden Natera's capabilities in non-invasive prenatal and carrier screening, enhancing its service offerings and supporting a larger number of patients and providers. Invitae is a US-based company that offers advanced genetic testing services, including those related to population screening.
