As a result, the market is predicted to be worth USD 12799.66 million by 2032 from USD 2246.88 million in 2024. During the forecast period, the North American regional market is forecasted to account for most of the liquid biopsy market share in the global market.

Current Scenario of the Global Biopsy Market

Liquid biopsy is primarily used to detect the presence of diseases such as cancer using samples such as blood or other body fluids. Liquid biopsy is an effective alternative to traditional invasive biopsy procedures. The output from the liquid biopsy tests provides valuable information to healthcare providers to assess the stage of the disease and aids in preparing effective treatment plans. Cell-free DNA tests, circulating tumor cell (CTC) tests, and microRNA tests are some available liquid biopsy tests. Each test has advantages and disadvantages. According to the needs of the patients, the type of test will be chosen by the healthcare provider. The usage of liquid biopsy is expected to grow aggressively in the coming future to address the increasing burden of various diseases such as cancer.

MARKET DRIVERS

The growing cancer population is propelling the liquid biopsy market growth worldwide. The prevalence and incidence of cancer are growing significantly.

This is driving the need for effective diagnostic tools. Liquid biopsy is one of the greatest tests to detect and monitor cancer progression. The results from the liquid biopsy offer enough information to healthcare providers regarding the molecular changes associated with cancer. Unfortunately, the chance of diagnosing cancer grows with increasing age and the adoption of unhealthy lifestyles. 

Increasing demand for personalized medicine is expected to boost the growth rate of the liquid biopsy market. The adoption of personalized medicine is growing rapidly. In this, treatment options are made according to the specific needs of the patients by studying their genetic makeup and other factors. Therefore, the results from the liquid biopsy give useful insights regarding the molecular changes of various diseases, including their genetic mutations and other biomarkers. Likewise, the rising demand levels for personalized medicine and increasing awareness among healthcare providers regarding the importance of molecular information for the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases are expected to promote the growth of the liquid biopsy market.

In addition, factors such as increasing preference towards non-invasive minimally invasive surgical procedures from people, an increasing number of healthcare facilities worldwide, and continuous R&D activities in the biotechnology industry are expected to favor the growth rate of the liquid biopsy market. Furthermore, increasing demand for early diagnosis of diseases as there is a permanent cure at the first stage of the diseases, the emergence of the latest technological developments in the medical sector, and growing focus on developing innovative kinds of techniques for diagnosing and treating various diseases are supporting the liquid biopsy market growth. In addition, the rise in concern towards health and increasing awareness among healthcare providers to make the best decisions in treating diseases with an appropriate plan to promote the patient's well-being is boosting the growth rate of the global liquid biopsy market.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

The lack of skilled persons handling the systems and the high costs involved with the installation of liquid biopsy devices are majorly hampering the growth rate of the global liquid biopsy market.

In addition, the increased range of equipment and facilities required to facilitate the laboratories for liquid biopsy is hindering the market. Furthermore, increasing complications in real-time due to sudden failures of the systems and maintenance of the devices also require heavy financial support, which is a burden for small-scale industries and is expected to showcase a negative impact on market growth.

SEGMENTAL ANALYSIS

Global Liquid Biopsy Market Analysis By Cancer Type

The lung cancer segment held a significant share of the liquid biopsy market in 2023. The domination of the segment is estimated to continue during the forecast period owing to the growing awareness among people over the availability of different treatment procedures for cancer, the growing prevalence of proper diagnostic and treatment procedures, and the increasing geriatric population suffering from lung cancer.

The colorectal cancer segment is anticipated to register a healthy CAGR during the forecast period owing to the growing number of colorectal cancer patients. As per the data published by the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), approximately 151,030 adults diagnosed with colorectal cancer in 2023 are expected to go higher during the forecast period.

Global Liquid Biopsy Market Analysis By Diagnostic Approach

More than 8-10 CTCs and ctDNA tests are currently commercialized. 

CTCs (Circulating Tumour cells), the first such entities on the liquid biopsy scene, accounted for a significant market share. As a result, the cancer institute is the largest revenue end-user segment and is expected to create substantial opportunities in the global liquid biopsy market over the forecast period.   

However, the circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA test) is also expected to show significant revenue growth because DNA is the base genetic material of all cells. Therefore, any problems can be examined and treated by observing the fundamental changes in the DNA structure. Thus with the increasing cases of circulating tumor cells, there is a need to monitor the DNA structures. 

Global Liquid Biopsy Market Analysis By Sample Type

The blood sample segment dominated the liquid biopsy market in 2023, expected to dominate the liquid biopsy market during the forecast period. The segmental growth can be attributed to factors such as the growing number of diagnostic centers worldwide with the latest equipment and increasing preference from people for early diagnosis of the disease where there is a permanent cure for it when it is treated at first levels.

However, the urine segment is expected to show promising growth during the forecast period as it is the most common method used for cancer diagnosis. Urine is readily available to be tested and is a fast and efficient process of diagnosis that does not require complex extraction methods, making it the second most preferred method. Urine is also preferred by patients who are scared of needles or blood extraction. In addition, it is an entirely non-invasive process making it comparatively safer. 

Global Liquid Biopsy Market Analysis By End User

The laboratories segment accounted for the most significant share of the liquid biopsy market in 2024. Focusing on improving the patient's health condition by evaluating quality treatment procedures is one of the notable factors boosting the segment's growth rate.

However, the academic and research segment is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period due to the growing research in the treatment of cancer in educational institutes and the increased research on the same topic. Additionally, the newfound freedom of students towards experimentation and the increasing number of research institutes is helping the segment grow.

REGIONAL ANALYSIS

North America captured the largest share of the worldwide market in 2023, and the region's domination is predicted to continue during the forecast period. The domination of the North American region is attributed to factors such as the growing patient population suffering from chronic diseases, increasing disposable income, the presence of developed countries, and the growing number of product launches for disease diagnosis. The U.S. led the North American market in 2023, followed by Canada.

The Asia-Pacific regional market had the second-largest global market share in 2023. The rise in the geriatric population is spurring the market's growth rate.
