NGS-based liquid biopsy Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2023-2028)

NGS technologies have revolutionized liquid biopsy by enabling the detection and analysis of genetic alterations, such as mutations, copy number variations, and chromosomal rearrangements, with high sensitivity and accuracy. This approach has gained considerable attention in oncology for cancer diagnosis, monitoring treatment response, detecting minimal residual disease, and identifying potential drug resistance mechanisms. The market for NGS-based liquid biopsy is mainly driven by the increasing prevalence of cancer worldwide, the need for personalized medicine approaches, and the growing demand for non-invasive and real-time monitoring of cancer progression. For instance, as per the World Health Organization (WHO), Cancer was one of the leading causes of death worldwide, killing nearly 10 million people in 2020.

The NGS-Based Liquid Biopsy Market is expected to grow at a steady rate of 16.8% owing to Growing Cancer Awareness Programs by Global Health Organizations. For instance, For instance, on 4th February World Cancer Day, World Cancer Day aims to prevent millions of deaths each year by raising awareness about cancer and encouraging governments and individuals around the world to take action against cancer.

Based on type, the market is segmented into kits, instruments, and services. The kits category dominated the market in 2022. The Kits segment in the next-generation sequencing (NGS) based liquid biopsy market plays a crucial role in facilitating the accurate and efficient detection of biomarkers in liquid biopsy samples. Further, the kits are cost-effective and are available at cheaper rates are among the major factors driving the growth of the segment.

On the basis of end-users, the market is categorized into diagnostic laboratories, hospitals, clinics, and others. Among these, the hospital's category held a dominating share of the market in 2022. This is mainly due to the rising number of cancer cases, along with the increasing hospitalization are the major factors responsible for the segmental growth of the hospitals.

For a better understanding of the market adoption of the NGS-based liquid biopsy industry, the market is analyzed based on its worldwide presence in the countries such as North America (U.S., Canada, Rest of North America), Europe (Germany, U.K., France, Spain, Italy, Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, Rest of Asia-Pacific), Rest of World. The North American region held the largest dominating market share in 2022 with a share of 42.2% in the global NGS-based liquid biopsy market. The market for NGS-based liquid biopsy is witnessing growth in the region due to the presence of developed countries such as the U.S. and Canada in the region. Further, the continuously rising cancer incidences are the major problem faced by the region owing to which the demand for cancer diagnostics increases including NGS-based liquid biopsies. For instance, as per the Globocan 2020 report, 2.5 million cancer cases were reported in 2020 in North America. Among them, 699,274 deaths were reported in the same year.

Some of the major players operating in the market include: GENOMILL HEALTH OY; Avida Biomed; Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.; Agilent Technologies Inc.; F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd; Illumina, Inc; QIAGEN; Biocept Inc.; Guardant Health, Inc.; and Lucence Health Inc.
