Report overview

Scope note

Segments covered: biomarker type. Regions: North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific.

The rise in cancer cases, the growing research of novel molecules, and the increasing number of genomic research projects have increased the demand for cancer/tumor profiling. The emergence of tumor profiling has removed the restraints of traditional cancer/tumor classification approaches, which rely on the morphology of the cancerous cells and the surrounding tissues. Today, cancer/tumor profiling is accepted as the standard technique for classifying tumors, with the guidelines associated with the European Society for Molecular Oncology (ESMO) and the College of American Pathologists (CAP).

The profiling of tumors with advanced technologies such as ISH, NGS, IHC, and PCR has successfully analyzed the genes, amplicons, and gene regions with familiar involvement with tumors. This approach, also known as targeted treatment, delivers high sensitivity for detecting tumor subclones or rare mutations, providing increased visibility regarding important mutations acting as drivers of cancer.

The growth of the cancer/tumor profiling market is attributed to the increasing prevalence of cancer, the rising pharmaceutical R&D expenditures, the growing number of targeted therapies and the discovery of new actionable biomarkers, increasing investments in cancer research, the declining costs of NGS-based profiling, and advancements in multi-omics tumor profiling. However, the high capital investments required for NGS setups and long turnaround times restrain the growth of this market.

Additionally, the increasing focus on developing personalized medicines and the rising awareness and adoption of targeted therapies are expected to generate market growth opportunities. However, the lack of genetic experts for interpreting results, the non-availability of in-house tumor profiling technologies, and the high number of false biomarker discoveries are major challenges for the stakeholders in the cancer/tumor profiling market.

Market dynamics

4 factors across 2 forces
01

Advancements in Multi-omics Tumor Profiling and Cancer Research

Cancer research has benefited from the advancement in omics technologies from genomics to transcriptomics and from a wide variety of resources obtained from multiple omics datasets originating from the patients. Multi-omics approaches offer a unique opportunity to identify cancer patients' clinical and molecular features. In transcriptomics and genomics, there is an unmet need to distinguish between inconsistency in related biological procedures, like differences in variability or post-translational changes in the expression profiles due to the role of mRNA transcripts in the development of cancer.

Recent advancements in proteomics have facilitated the emergence of proteogenomic approaches. These approaches seamlessly integrate genomic data with proteomics data, including insights into post-translational modifications such as acetylation and protein phosphorylation. These developments in multi-omics tumor profiling and cancer research are expected to drive the growth of the cancer/tumor profiling market.

02

Increasing Prevalence of Cancer

The burden of cancer is growing globally. According to GLOBOCAN 2020, cancer incidence is expected to increase from 19.3 million in 2020 to 30.2 million in 2040. Moreover, the mortality due to cancer is estimated to increase from 9.9 million in 2020 to 16.3 million in 2040. Nearly 70% of the total deaths due to cancer occur in low and middle-income countries. Early detection is extremely important in reducing mortality, improving patients’ chances of survival, and saving on treatment costs. Various methods are used to detect cancer. The demand for cancer/tumor profiling for cancer diagnosis is expected to grow significantly in the coming years.

03

Advancements in Multi-omics Tumor Profiling

During the last decade, genomics and proteomics approaches have become effective and crucial tools in the clinical research of biological pathways involved in cancer pathogen replication, host response, and disease progression. Genomics and proteomics are important for discovering and understanding host-pathogen interactions. They offer the opportunity to improve personalized treatments and disease prevention in advanced cancer cases. Genomics primarily aims to sequence, assemble, and analyze the functions and structures of genomes. At the same time, proteomics helps in the large–scale study of the complete set of proteins within an organism. Such developments in genomics and proteomics are expected to drive the cancer/tumor profiling market.
