Liquid Biopsy Market: Global Size, Share, Trends, Growth and Forecast 2022-2032

Liquid Biopsy Market: Overview and Definition

The global Liquid Biopsy Market size was estimated at USD 4.1 billion in 2021 and is projected to register a growth rate of 18.3% to reach a value of USD 12.5 billion by 2032.Technology has ever since its emergence, been making its mark in the healthcare field in a remarkable fashion. With cancer considered as the second leading cause of deaths globally, technology was prominently made to show promise with the introduction of various developments and advancements to tackle the same. One such introduction among others has been that of Liquid Biopsy.

A liquid biopsy, also known as fluid biopsy or fluid phase biopsy is a largely non-invasive sampling and analysis of non-solid biological tissue, primarily blood, for diagnostic and monitoring diseases such as cancer. Liquid biopsy is the direct clinical application of two advances in medical science, namely, human genome sequencing and rising sensitivity of detecting techniques and assays. It is a test that could provide researchers, physicians and surgeons with information about the cancer profile of the patient and appropriate therapies to improve the survival rate of their patients.

Currently, tissue biopsies, along with imaging techniques, are the standard methods used in the diagnosis of solid cancers.

The biopsy probes into free-flowing circulating tumor cells, biomarkers most suited and being studied for viable commercial development are CTCs, circulating tumor DNA, and exosomes containing tumor DNA or RNA. Technologies under R&D include PCR-based assays for single gene analysis and NGS-based parallel gene analysis. And the three most potential biofluids under immense clinical observations for liquid biopsy sampling are blood, urine, and saliva.

This market is projected to expand at a mammoth CAGR in the next few years.

MARKET DRIVERS:

The growth of this market is attributed towards factors which include the increasing prevalence of cancer, preference of liquid biopsy over solid tumor biopsy, rise in awareness about minimally invasive procedures, favorable government initiatives, technological advancements, availability of funding for liquid biopsy R&D, rapid enhancements in NSG technology and increase in pre-screening programs etc.

The liquid biopsy will take a prominent position for cancer-related probe and investigation. It is rapidly substituting conventional tumor biopsies. The cancer information is obtained with the least amount of surgical invasion. Additionally, liquid biopsy reduces the apprehension of patients regarding pain. It also provides a safe and effective method for patients for whom a tissue biopsy is not possible due to associated risks.

Also, some advantages of liquid biopsies, which improve the safety and efficiency of cancer therapy for patients, include easy and non-invasive access to the tumor genome, early cancer diagnosis & detection, characterization of new lesions, drug & therapeutic target identifications for cancer treatment etc.

Liquid biopsy holds several other benefits over traditional cancer diagnostics techniques such as reduced cost, early prognosis, therapy monitoring, and detection of tumor heterogeneity, acquired drug resistance, and patient comfort.

Moreover, increasing funding for R&D in cancer is also expected to aid in growth of the market. For instance, according to the National Cancer Research Institute (NCRI), cancer research funding by NCRI partners reached around US$ 750 million in 2018/19.

However, some of the key factors restraining the growth of liquid biopsy market include alternatives to liquid biopsies, high cost of liquid biopsy, clinical utility challenges, varying levels of circulating free DNA (cfDNA) in serum and plasma, lack of sensitivity and specificity of liquid biopsy tests and unclear reimbursement & regulation scenarios.
