Biopsy Devices Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Product (Needle-based Biopsy Guns, Biopsy Guidance Systems, Biopsy Forceps, Biopsy Needles), By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2024 - 2030

Biopsy Devices Market Size & Trends

The global biopsy devices market size was valued at USD 2.25 billion in 2023 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 7.2% from 2024 to 2030. The rising prevalence of cancer, increasing emphasis on minimally invasive surgeries, the presence of untapped opportunities in emerging economies, especially in the Asia Pacific, and improving healthcare infrastructure are among the key trends encouraging industry growth.

According to the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC), more than 35 million new cases of cancer are estimated in 2050, which shows an increase of about 77% from the estimated 20 million cases in 2022.  This rise in cancer cases is expected to drive the demand for biopsy devices and foster market growth.

In addition, the advantages offered by minimally invasive procedures have driven their demand globally. These procedures result in the quicker recovery of patients and are less traumatic. The rising demand for minimally invasive procedures has further fostered innovation in the market. For instance, in July 2022, doctors introduced a new technology at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia, which offers a less invasive, safer, and more timely option to perform lung biopsy.

Growing cancer prevalence is driving the need for effective diagnostic procedures. This has encouraged various government bodies to increase their spending on cancer research. For instance, in the year 2022, total funds available to the National Cancer Institute amounted to USD 6.8 billion, which shows an increase of 5.7% from the previous fiscal year.

Government and healthcare bodies across the world are also making efforts to curb the high costs associated with cancer treatment. Various healthcare institutes are also encouraging people to undergo regular diagnostic examinations through awareness campaigns. For instance, the "Right to Know" campaign by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention aims to create awareness regarding the importance of breast cancer screening among women with disabilities.

Product Insights

Needle-based biopsy guns dominated the market and accounted for the largest market share of 43.1% in 2023. The increasing demand for needle-based biopsy guns to collect samples from soft tissues of internal organs is driving the growth of the overall market. In addition, the rising need for rapid and gentle procurement of cell samples for biopsy has led to the development of technologically advanced biopsy devices such as vacuum-assisted biopsy (VAB) devices. For instance, in August 2022, Mammotome introduced a Vacuum-Assisted Breast Biopsy System, which can help in lesion excision. Such developments are likely to foster market growth.

The biopsy needle segment is expected to grow significantly over the forecast period. Technological advancements and the increasing demand for these needles to access difficult anatomy while performing biopsies are major drivers of segmental growth. The increasing innovation and launch of advanced products are further expected to drive segment growth. For instance, in May 2024, Cook introduced the biopsy needle EchoTip AcuCore EUS to be used in precision gastrointestinal lesion biopsies.

Regional Insights  

North America biopsy devices market dominated the overall global market and accounted for 43.1% of revenue share in 2023, Owing to rising cancer cases and the increasing development of technologically advanced biopsy devices in the region. For instance, in September 2023, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted 510(k) clearance to Limaca Medical's Precision GI endoscopic ultrasound biopsy device. Such developments in the region are expected to foster further growth in the market.

U.S. Biopsy Devices Market Trends

The U.S. biopsy devices market accounted for a 34.6% share of the global market in 2023. According to the National Cancer Institute, approximately 2,001,140 new cases of cancer are expected to be diagnosed in 2024 in the U.S. This rise in the cancer prevalence in the country, coupled with the presence of strong healthcare and regulatory environment to support the development of technologically advanced medical devices is expected to drive the market growth in the country.

Europe Biopsy Devices Market Trends

Europe biopsy device market was identified as a lucrative region in 2023. The rising prevalence of cancer cases and the need to develop advanced devices to facilitate early diagnosis and treatment are major factors driving the demand for biopsy devices in the Europe region. For instance, according to the information published by the World Health Organization, cancer is the second most important cause of death in the region, with over 3.7 million new diagnoses and 1.9 million deaths every year.

The UK biopsy devices market is expected to grow rapidly in the coming years due to the presence of key players in the region, increasing awareness regarding preventive healthcare, and initiatives to promote early diagnosis and treatment. For instance, 'Be Clear on Cancer' (BCoC) and 'Help Us Help You' (HUHY) are nationwide public awareness campaigns on cancer.

Asia Pacific Biopsy Devices Market Trends

The Asia Pacific biopsy devices market is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR over the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to the rising incidences of cancer, the increasing need for advanced equipment to meet rising patient demand and advancement in the healthcare infrastructure in the growing economies of the region, such as China and India. According to Global Cancer Statistics 2020, one-half of all cases and 58.3% of cancer deaths were estimated to occur in Asia. The different governments in this region are taking initiatives such as awareness programs and organization of screening to facilitate diagnosis and treatment, which is further expected to drive market growth.

India's biopsy device market is expected to grow significantly owing to the rising efforts by public and private players to facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of cancer and the development of healthcare infrastructure in the country. For instance, in July 2024, the MR Fusion Biopsy machine was installed at Sir H.N. Reliance Foundation Hospital, which is the first such machine to be introduced in Maharashtra, India. The step is expected to enhance cancer care in the country and drive further growth in the market.
