The global HPV testing and Pap test market size is anticipated to reach USD 6.18 billion by 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.2% from 2025 to 2033. Technological advancements, an increasing number of cervical cancer screening programs, and a high incidence of HPV infection are some major factors expected to drive the growth of the market over the forecast period. The disease accounts for 6.6% of all female cancers and the mortality rate of cervical cancer in low-and-middle-income countries is much higher. The increase in disease prevalence has boosted the demand for diagnostic products, thereby enabling market growth.
As per the Globocan estimates, in 2020, around 604,127 new cases of cervix and uterine cancer were diagnosed globally, which led to around 341,831 deaths in the same year. According to the WHO, 99% of these cases are linked to HPV infection. The high incidence rate of cervical cancer coupled with the high mortality rate is expected to boost the demand for HPV infection testing to reduce the disease burden.
Increasing approval of novel testing solutions and services to upsurge screening rates is further anticipated to support growth. In April 2020, Roche received FDA approval for its Cobas HPV screening to be used on Cobas 6800/8800 Systems, a fully automated and high-throughput system. Moreover, regulatory bodies are recommending technologically advanced tests for screening. For instance, in September 2021, the WHO recommended DNA-based testing for human papillomavirus to prevent cervical cancer.
Initiatives undertaken by regulatory bodies in regions with high disease prevalence are anticipated to fuel market growth. For instance, the Go Further partnership to end AIDS and cervical cancer is an initiative that provides cervical cancer screening in African countries with a high prevalence of HIV. HIV-positive women are five times more likely to develop cervical cancer than other women. The initiative is a collaborative effort by UNAIDS, the Bush Institute, Merck, and the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief.
Some major market players include Abbott; QIAGEN; BD (Becton Dickinson & Company); Quest Diagnostics Incorporated; Hologic Inc.; F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd.; Femasys, Inc.; Arbor Vita Corporation; Oncohealth Corporation; and Seegene Inc. The HPV and Pap testing industry is highly fragmented with several local players.
