The global liver cancer diagnostics market size was estimated at USD 9.99 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 17.57 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 6.42% from 2025 to 2033. Liver cancer is the leading cause of death amongst all deadly diseases in the globe.
Since 1980, the rate of incidence of liver cancer has tripled and death rates have doubled during this period. The American Cancer Society estimated that in 2025, about 42,240 new cases are expected, and about 30,090 people will succumb to death. Thus, the global rise in liver cancer prevalence, combined with ongoing exposure to risk factors, will significantly accelerate the growth of the screening and diagnosis market. The rising incidence of liver cancer is increasing the demand for early-stage cancer diagnosis and efforts to reduce associated risk factors. Early detection is crucial in lowering cancer-related deaths, especially through effective screening programs. Overall, diagnosing cancer early can boost patient survival rates by 5 to 10 times compared to later detection.
As the global cases of liver cancer grow, the need for early detection tools and screening methods has intensified. For instance, the National Cancer Institute established the Liver (Hepatocellular) Cancer Screening (PDQ)-health professional version program in April 2025, utilizing techniques like needle aspiration cytology and trans jugular liver biopsy. Programs focused on high-risk groups, such as those with chronic liver conditions, are promoting greater awareness and use of diagnostic tools like ultrasound, CT scans, and blood tests. Early and regular screenings improve detection rates and patient outcomes. This increased emphasis on prevention and early diagnosis is driving innovations in liver cancer diagnostics and accelerating market growth.
Liver cancer screening and treatment are poised for a major shift thanks to cutting-edge early screening technologies currently in advanced development stages. These new innovations are paving the way for growth in the liver diagnostics market. For instance, in April 2025, the FDA granted breakthrough device designation to the EvoLiver biopsy test for monitoring hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with high-risk cirrhosis. The test uses a multiomics biomarker signature based on extracellular vesicles (EV) and has shown promising results in detecting early-stage HCC. Data from the MEV01 trial, which involved 464 patient samples, indicated that the EvoLiver test achieved an impressive 86% sensitivity and 88% specificity for early-stage HCC detection. These results significantly surpass current surveillance methods like ultrasound and alpha-fetoprotein testing. This innovative approach has the potential to improve the management of hepatocellular carcinoma in cirrhotic patients greatly.
