Minimal Residual Disease Testing Market Trends
- Increasing incidence of hematological malignancies
The incidence of hematological malignancies, which are cancers of the blood and bone marrow, has been increasing globally over the past few decades. This increase is thought to be due to a combination of factors, including an aging population, a change in lifestyle, and a rising number of people with weakened immune systems. Moreover, according to GLOBOCAN 2020, new cases for leukemia were 474,519, non-Hodgkin lymphoma cases were 544,352, and Hodgkin cases were 83,087. Furthermore, initiatives are having a positive impact on cancer awareness and prevention. Global health organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO), the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC), the World Cancer Research Fund International, and Worldwide Cancer Research are committed to continuing to raise cancer awareness and reduce the burden of cancer worldwide. Moreover, initiatives undertaken include providing information and education about cancer, supporting cancer research, advocating for cancer control policies, and empowering cancer survivors.
Therefore, rising incidences of minimal residual disease testing and growing awareness through global organization are fueling the growth of the market.
Minimal Residual Disease Testing Market Segment Insights
Minimal Residual Disease Testing Market Technology Insights
The Minimal Residual Disease Testing Market is segmented, based on technology, into flow cytometry, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), next-generation sequencing (NGS), and others. The flow cytometry segment held the majority share of the market and next-generation sequencing (NGS) is the fastest-growing segment during the forecast year. The widely preferred technique for minimal residual disease testing is flow cytometry and NGS. The flow cytometry approach can find one cancer cell among 100,000 bone marrow cells and provide results that can be available in less than one day. Moreover, PCR tests provide advantages such as high sensitivity, specificity, reproducibility, and rapid turnaround time.
Thus, the above-mentioned technologies are widely preferred for hematological malignancies and provide immense advantages for diagnosing cancer, fostering the growth of the technology segment.
Minimal Residual Disease Testing Market Application Insights
The Minimal Residual Disease Testing Market segmentation, based on application, includes lymphoma, leukemia, solid tumors, and others. The leukemia segment dominated the market in the base year, i.e., 2022, and lymphoma is the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period, 2023–2032. This is due to the rising incidence of both leukemia and lymphoma cases across the globe. Moreover, the rapid launch of minimal residual tests for leukemia is also boosting the growth of the segment. For instance, in October 2021, Sysmex Inostics, Inc. (US) launched a clinically validated liquid biopsy test for the detection of minimal residual disease (MRD) for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This test is based on next-generation sequencing.
Therefore, the increasing incidences of hematological malignancies and the launch of innovative MRD testing that targets the NGS panel are positively impacting the growth of the market.

Minimal Residual Disease Testing Market End User Insights
Based on end user, the Minimal Residual Disease Testing Market has been segmented into hospitals & clinics, diagnostic laboratories, and others. The hospital & clinics segment dominated the market in 2022, and the diagnostic laboratories segment is the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period, 2023–2032. This is due to the rapid adoption of newly launched MRD tests at diagnostic centers as well as the frequent adoption of MSD tests by patients. Moreover, MRD tests are being popularized due to their immense benefits in diagnosing cancer. Furthermore, as per the research, MRD is being utilized by hospitals and clinics to monitor the effectiveness of cancer treatment and detect cancer recurrence early.
Minimal Residual Disease Testing Market Regional Insights
By region, the study segments the market into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World.

The European minimal residual disease testing market accounted for the second-largest market share due to the growing geriatric population. The incidences of blood related cancers increase with increases in age. The risk of leukemia is more than 10 times higher in people over the age of 65 than in people under the age of 45. In September 2022, it has been estimated by the World Economic Forum that more than 30% of the European population are expected to be 65 or older by 2100. Thus, growing geriatric population will create greater opportunities for the Europe market during the forecast period. Moreover, the Germany minimal residual disease testing market held the largest market in 2022, and the France minimal residual disease testing market is projected to be the fastest-growing market in the Europe region.
The Asia-Pacific minimal residual disease testing market is the fastest growing region from 2023 to 2032, owing to the growing incidence of hematological cancer, increased geriatric population, and the strategic formation to meet the demand of customers boosts Asia-Pacific region growth. For instance, October 2021, Genetron Health (China) and Jiangsu Fosun (China) started commercialization of MRD detection test in China, also promoted Seq-MRD in hematologic-focused hospitals and clinics in China. This test provides accuracy, high throughput, cost-efficiency, uniformity and fast turnaround time. Furthermore, the China minimal residual disease testing market accounted for the largest market share in 2022, and the India minimal residual disease testing market is projected to be the fastest-growing market in the Asia-Pacific region.
