The global oncology molecular diagnostics market size reached USD 4.8 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 14.3 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 12.37% during 2025-2033. The rising prevalence of cancer, ongoing advancements in molecular diagnostic technologies, and increased adoption of precision medicine are primarily driving the market's growth.
Oncology molecular diagnostics identify the presence of cancer cells by analyzing their biological molecules. Several tests are performed on the blood, saliva, and tumor tissue samples for detecting and measuring specific genetic sequences in the DNA, RNA, and cell proteins. Oncology molecular diagnostics help perform rapid analysis and provide detailed information that is further utilized in the personalized treatment of cancer. These diagnostics solutions find application in clinical and point-of-care (POC) testing for early detection of cancer. They are also used in blood banks to identify pathogens and infectious diseases present in the donated blood samples.
The rising prevalence of cancer on account of changing lifestyles, growing geriatric population, and the increasing trend of smoking represents one of the major factors impelling the global oncology molecular diagnostics market growth. Apart from this, the escalating demand for rapid and accurate diagnosis, along with advancements in next generation sequencing (NGS) techniques, is contributing to the growth of the market. Furthermore, a rise in the number of individuals suffering from viral and bacterial infections and the increasing participation in blood donation campaigns is positively influencing the demand for oncology molecular diagnostics worldwide. However, due to the sudden outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), several healthcare institutions are undertaking steps to mitigate the risk of the pandemic on cancer patients by reducing the number of medical appointments. Moreover, regular screening for cancer patients has witnessed a decline due to the repurposing of diagnostics resources for providing COVID-19 testing and consequent reduction in oncology testing.
The report has also analysed the competitive landscape of the market with some of the key players being Agilent Technologies, Inc., Abbott Laboratories, Bayer AG, Becton, Dickinson and Company, Danaher Corporation, F. Hoffmann-La Roche AG, Hologic, Inc., Qiagen N.V., Siemens Healthcare and Sysmex Corporation.
