Cancer is when cells in the body grow uncontrollably, causing damage to nearby tissues. Oral cancer specifically refers to painful lumps or growths in the mouth that affect the surrounding tissues. This type of cancer includes conditions like lip, tongue, cheek, hard and soft palate, floor of the mouth, pharynx, and sinus cancers. While oral cancer can be treated, it can be life-threatening if not detected early and treated properly.
Diagnosing oral cancer is crucial because the treatment depends on the stage of cancer. The earlier the diagnosis, the easier it is to manage the cancerous growth. Various diagnostic tests, such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), X-ray, and ultrasonography, are commonly used for the diagnosis of oral cancer.
The market for oral cancer diagnostics is growing due to factors like an increase in the population suffering from oral cancer, effective diagnostic tools, ongoing research and development, and a rise in risk factors leading to oral cancers. However, challenges include a shortage of trained professionals and healthcare organizations facing difficulties in purchasing expensive imaging systems, which may limit market growth.
The global oral cancer diagnostics market, valued at USD 4,909.60 million in 2018, is estimated to reach USD 7,367.90 million by 2024. In 2018, the Americas held the largest market share at 42.40%, with a value of USD 2,081.67 million, followed by Europe with USD 1,382.05 million.
In terms of indication, the oral squamous cell carcinoma segment held the largest market share of 89.02% in 2018, with a value of USD 4,370.55 million. This segment is projected to grow at a CAGR of 21.13% during the forecast period.
Regarding diagnosis type, the computed tomography (CT) segment had the largest market share of 30.07% in 2018, with a value of USD 1,476.13 million. It is expected to register a CAGR of 7.16% during the forecast period.
On the basis of end user, the hospitals and clinics segment dominated the market, accounting for a share of 45.81% in 2018, with a value of USD 2,249.08 million. This segment is anticipated to register a CAGR of 7.56% during the forecast period.

The Oral Cancer Diagnostics Market is anticipated to reach USD 2.98 Billion by 2032 at 4.8% CAGR during the forecast period 2023-2032. Condition of oral cancer includes cancer in tongue, lips, soft and hard palate, cheeks, the floor of mouth, sinuses, and pharynx. Its treatment of oral cancer largely depends upon the stages. So, early diagnosis of oral cancer is very important that makes it easier for treatment.
Rising aids of proper healthcare, efficiency for detecting oral cancer, technological advancements, increasing number of people who have oral cancer are some factors that are expected to influence the growth of the market. Although higher health costs, unavailability of adequate healthcare facilities, and fewer trained professionals are estimated to hinder the growth of the oral cancer diagnostics market.
COVID-19 Analysis
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has massively impacted the oral cancer diagnostics market. It has disrupted healthcare facilities, especially in underdeveloped countries in Africa and other developing countries. It has prevented the whole cancer diagnosis sector, such as regular tests and screenings, ramification, follow-ups of patients, etc. The infection and disruption caused by COVID-19 have spiked the health risks of cancer patients.
Drivers
Since recent past years, oral cancer diagnostics have been gaining importance due to the increasing number of cases in the sector of oral cancer. As per reports by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which was published in 2017, it was estimated that around 3,70,309 people had pharynx cancer and oral cavity. Also, around 3% of the population registered newly reported increasing cases of the pharynx and oral cancer annually. Hence, the continuous growing pervasiveness for oral cancer largely led to the increased technological advancements for better facilities, diagnostic tools that have influenced the market growth. Furthermore, increasing consumption of tobacco, consumption of alcohol, and HPV-induced cancers are some major drivers of the market.
Restraints
Oral cancer constitutes the largest share among the affected patients suffering from various types of cancer. The mortality rate caused by oral cancer is comparatively high due to a lack of proper tests to detect the disease at an early stage. Detecting oral cancer in an early stage can largely affect the treatment in a positive way. Furthermore, the present conventional tests in the market take more time and incur higher costs which are a major restraint in oral cancer diagnostics.
Challenges
Technological development, such as the usage of biosensors, has helped manufacturing companies to improve their functions. Also, the development of befitting biomarkers essential for the rapid test of oral cancer is loaded with several challenges to fulfill the sensitiveness and specification requirements.
Opportunities
Many companies are trying to improve the testing methods and equipment needed during routine tests among cancer-affected people. They are developing equipment called Oral Cancer Rapid Testing Kit or OCRTK. This equipment is capable of detecting oral cancer is lesser time and in an effective way. Technological advancement and innovation of new and convenient products will lead the global oral market. The requirement comprises RNA, lipids, exosomes, and DNA. The emergence of new technologies that boost immunity has increased the opportunity to develop oral cancer tests.
Cumulative Growth Analysis
The increasing cases of oral cancer among people worldwide have significantly increased the importance of oral cancer diagnostics. Several technological developments, such as the innovation of oral cancer rapid test kits are attracting more consumers in recent past years.
