U.S. biopsy guidance system market size, by product, 2016 - 2028 (USD Million)

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant reductions in cancer screening, cancer management visits, and cancer procedures across the globe. The repercussions of delayed cancer detection owing to COVID-19 were investigated in a study undertaken in the U.K. and published in The Lancet Oncology in March 2021. The study covered data from over 100,000 people with breast, colorectal, esophageal, or lung cancer. The study found that 1 and 5-year cancer survival rates will be severely reduced as a result of the outbreak of COVID-19, owing to the lack of availability of screening services. As a result, owing to lockdowns, screening services have disrupted to some extent which may restrain the market growth over the forecast period.

The increasing prevalence of cancer is one of the key factors expected to boost the market during the forecast period. The increasing cases of cancer are majorly contributed due to the high adoption of sedentary lifestyles such as smoking, alcohol use, lack of exercise, poor nutrition, and obesity, across the globe. As a consequence, a high number of cancer cases are reported globally. For instance, according to the report published by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in 2020, around 19.3 million cancer cases and 10.00 million cancer deaths were reported globally. As per the WHO statistics, the most common cancers in 2020 were:

  • Breast - 2.26 million

  • Lung - 2.21 million

  • Colon and rectum - 1.93 million

  • Prostate - 1.41 million

  • Skin (non-melanoma) - 1.20 million

  • Stomach - 1.09 million

The rising prevalence of cancer is thus boosting the development of more effective, safe, and advanced biopsy procedures, thereby leading to market growth. Increasing preference for non-invasive procedures is also a key factor contributing to market growth. The high costs of invasive biopsies, coupled with painful side effects, cause patients to postpone or avoid the treatment, resulting in a lack of diagnosis or diagnosis at a later stage of the disease. As a result, mortality rates are increasing, and treatments are becoming more complicated and expensive. Therefore, considering all these factors, the demand for non-invasive procedures is increasing, thereby, propelling the demand for biopsy guidance systems. Patients heal faster and are less traumatized as a result of these treatments. Furthermore, noninvasive biopsies are less expensive than traditional open surgical biopsies. Thereby, owing to the numerous benefits offered by minimally/non-invasive surgical technologies, the biopsy guidance systems market is expected to grow at a rapid pace over the forecast period.

New non-invasive technologies, known as smart biopsies, that enable real-time cancer tissue identification have been invented and are now being utilized in some hospitals to expedite cancer detection. Scaling up these projects from the lab to hospitals will make diagnosing cancer faster and cheaper, ensuing in patients getting access to early diagnosis. For instance:

  • University College London Hospitals developed a novel software, SmartTarget, to enhance prostate cancer diagnosis. SmartTarget Ltd. has commercialized this software, which is now in use in hospitals in the U.K. and the US.

  • SOLUS, an innovative tool is developed for the diagnosis of breast cancer. This device employs ultrasound and diffuse optics, an imaging method primarily used to assess tissue hemodynamics.

  • Dune Medical Devices also developed a device called SmartGuide based on radio frequency technology that might examine human tissue using electrical sensors in real-time throughout biopsy procedures.

Thus, the development of such smart biopsies will further create lucrative opportunities for key players, leading to market growth.

The increasing government and non-government initiatives related to the biopsy guidance system are also anticipated to boost market growth over the forecast period. Numerous government and private organizations, market-based enterprises, and hospitals are working on innovative programs to raise public awareness of cancer and the health benefits of early detection through screening services.

  • In India, the Rashtriya Arogya Nidhi initiative, run by the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare (MoHF&W), provides financial help to below poverty line (BPL) patients in the form of a one-time award of up to Rs 1,00,000 for treatment at super specialty hospitals/institutes or other government institutions.

  • The State Illness Assistance Fund (SIAF), in India, enables BPL people to get treatment for cancer or other life-threatening diseases at government hospitals for up to Rs 1,50,000.

  • In Australia, BreastScreen Australia Program seeks to reduce breast cancer-related morbidity and mortality by diagnosing the early diagnosis. Through this initiative, every 2 years, women aged 50 to 74 are offered to have a free screening mammogram.

  • The National Cancer Research Institute (NCRI), cancer research funding for breast cancer was USD 574.9 million, colorectal cancer was USD 256 million and lung cancer was USD 350.1 million amongst others in 2018.

Therefore, the growing number of government activities aimed at supporting research, raising awareness, and implementing mass screening programs for cancer are likely to drive the market.

The rising elderly population is considered one of the most significant risk factors for the development of cancer. For instance, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), the global population aged 60 years and above is projected to total 2 billion. The US Census Bureau also states that the number of adults aged 85 years and older is likely to surge from 6.4 million in 2016 to 19 million by 2060. In the elderly, cancer is one of the predominant causes of mortality and morbidity, and its incidence increases with aging. For instance, according to the National Cancer Institute, the incidence rate of cancer upsurged from 25 cases per 100,000 people below age 20 years to around 350 per 100,000 people amongst aged 45 to 49 years. Furthermore, it is higher than 1,000 per 100,000 persons in the 60+ age range.

Moreover, as per the most recent statistics from NCI’s Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program, the average age of diagnosis for cancer is 66 years. Another research article published in NCBI, states that patients aged 65 and above account for more than 70% of cancer deaths across the globe. As a result of the rising elderly population, the use of biopsy guidance systems is likely to increase in the near term. Therefore, the rise in the geriatric population and their vulnerability to cancer is ultimately boosting the market growth over the forecast period.
