Liquid Biopsy Market Trends

• Government investments on healthcare infrastructure to boost market growth

The increase in the funding by the federal government is set to drive the market growth rate. Growth and expansion of healthcare industry being driven by both public and private players especially in the developing economies will create lucrative market growth opportunities. Also, high return on investments assured by the research activities will also work in the favor of the market. Initiatives by the government to spread awareness especially in the developing economies, surge in the personal disposable income level, introduction of technologically driven products in hospitals, increasing investment for the development of advanced medical products and devices and increase in demand for non-invasive surgical procedures, positively enhanced the market CAGR of liquid biopsy across the globe in the recent years. There are some other type of biopsies like kidney biopsy, needle biopsy and liver biopsy

 Further, in the past decade, governments in various countries and  health organizations have undertaken several initiatives to spread awareness about cancer. For instance, the WHO's National Cancer Control program is a public health program that aims to reduce the number of cancer deaths and improve the quality of life of cancer patients. Similarly, the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP), initiated by the US Centers for Diseases and Prevention (CDC) in 1991, provides breast cancer screening and diagnosis for uninsured and low-income patients in the US every year. In 2020, this program provided breast cancer screening and diagnostic services to 260,143 women. This program also provided cervical cancer screening and diagnostic services to 116,562 women in the same year.

Additionally, the increased awareness about the cancer is boosting the liquid biopsy market growth as liquid biopsy technique can detect the cancer early, can monitor progression of tumor, and can assess clinical prognosis. Moreover, the proliferation of advanced technologies has boosted the demand for the non-invasive diagnosis and treatments that is expected to spur the demand for the liquid biopsy in the forthcoming years. The rising investments by the market players in the clinical trials for the development of innovative diagnostic solutions is exponentially contributing towards the growth of the liquid biopsy market revenue.

However, rising expenditure for research and development proficiencies especially in the developed and developing economies pertaining to the medical instruments and devices will further create lucrative market growth opportunities. Research and development proficiencies being conducted by pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical countries for the integration of advanced technologies in the healthcare facilities is also bolstering the market growth rate.

Liquid Biopsy Market Segment Insights

Liquid Biopsy Biomarker Types Insights

The market segments of liquid biopsy, based on biomarker types, includes circulating tumor cells, circulating tumor DNA, extracellular vesicles, and other biomarker. The circulating tumor DNA segment held the majority share in 2021 to the  market revenue of liquid biopsy. Over the recent years, ctDNA-based liquid biopsy analysis has created new opportunities in molecular diagnosis and monitoring of cancer. It is capable of precisely determining tumor progression, prognosis, and assisting in targeted therapy. However, other biomarker is the fastest-growing category due to rise in the adoption of exosomes as a liquid biopsy in oncology clinical diagnosis coupled with the introduction of novel products drives the segment growth.

September 2021: miR Scientific presented data for its miR Sentinel Prostate Cancer Test at the American Urological Association’s (AUA) 2021 Annual Meeting. This exosome-based liquid biopsy test uses a single urine sample to detect prostate cancer with an accuracy of 90%.

Liquid Biopsy Application Insights

The liquid biopsy market data has been bifurcated by application into cancer therapeutic application, reproductive health, and other therapeutic. The cancer therapeutic segment dominated the market in 2021 and is projected to be the faster-growing segment during the forecast period, 2022-2030. The use of liquid biopsy products has been particularly significant in understanding cancer signatures and developing customized therapies. Liquid biopsy is one of the many emerging technologies developed to address the growing cancer prevalence. However, reproductive health is the fastest-growing category due to the increased adoption of the liquid biopsy techniques for the

Liquid Biopsy Sample Insights

Based on sample, the  liquid biopsy industry has been segmented into blood sample, urine sample, and other. Blood sample held the largest segment share in 2021. A blood-based test is non-invasive, has no risk, and is painless. In addition, it reduces the cost and time taken for diagnosis. CTCs, cfDNAs, and exosomes, as well as microvesicles, can be detected in the blood sample, thus increasing the adoption of blood-based liquid biopsy. However, urine sample is the fastest-growing category as liquid biopsy test uses a single urine sample to detect various type of cancer.
