Global Cancer Registry Software Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Cancer Registry Software Market Analysis

The cancer registry software market is projected to register a CAGR of 10.3% during the forecast period 2022-2027.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the diagnostics for cancer decreased significantly during the pandemic, and there has been a decline in chemotherapy, surgery, and other supportive treatments for cancer. Further, in June 2020, guidance was issued by the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy and the European Society of Gastroenterology and Endoscopy Nurses and Associates. The guidance document advised that doctors postpone post-endoscopic resection, surgical resection of cancer, and post-polypectomy cancer. They also advised that screening of high-risk patients for cancer should also be postponed due to the risk of infection, which further led to the reduction in the treatment procedures.

Similarly, in January 2022, a research study published titled "Impact of the COVID19 pandemic on populationbased cancer registry" stated that many cancer registries worldwide reported disruption to their operations during the early COVID19 pandemic. Governmental commitment to support future registry operations as an asset to disease control, alongside a move toward electronic reporting systems, will help to ensure the sustainability of cancer surveillance worldwide.

Factors such as increasing prevalence of cancer, and improving quality of care, and reducing healthcare costs coupled with recent developments by key players such as product/service launches and mergers & acquisitions are expected to increase the market growth in the upcoming future. According to the Global Cancer Observatory (Globocan) 2020 statistics, Globally, there were 19.3 million new cancer cases in 2020, these cases are expected to increase and reach up to 30.2 million in 2040. Additionally, according to estimates from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) updates from July 2021, by 2040, the global burden of cancers is expected to grow to 27.5 million new cancer cases and 16.3 million deaths worldwide. Such high burdens will increase the demand for cancer registry software as it would provide significant advantages to identifying the trend related to the prevalence and treatment of cancer.

Similarly, product approval and launches are other factors for the growth of the market. For instance, in April 2020, Elekta received a CE mark for its ProKnow cloud-based retrieval and storage software. With vendor-neutral ProKnow, any radiation therapy department can securely upload massive volumes of data to ProKnow's cloud server for storage, distributed contouring, plan evaluation and peer review, and analysis of key metrics - including outcomes technique evaluations and intra- and inter-institutional collaborations.

Additionally, in August 2021, IARC, The Northern Ireland Cancer Registry, and new software to facilitate cancer staging, aiming to improve national cancer control with a more effective collection of comparable data. Furthermore, in October 2020, MOVEMBER launched the world's largest network of prostate cancer patient registries, which will have the power to transform treatment and care of the disease by harnessing the 'real world' experiences of over 130,000 men. Such initiative improves the infrastructure and brings the cost down by providing a more efficient and cost-effective digital solution. Hence, due to the abovementioned factors, the market is expected to grow in the future. However, privacy and security concerns for patient data will be a restraint in the market growth.
