Market Trends of Global Hemato Oncology Testing Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Hemato Oncology Testing Market according to our research experts:
Services Segment is Expected to Witness Significant Growth over the Forecast Period
The services segment is expected to witness significant growth in the hemato-oncology testing market over the forecast period. This can be attributed to increasing awareness of advanced therapies such as personalized medicine and the rising prevalence of leukemia, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and myeloma cancers.
Precision medicine is based on each patient's unique genetic makeup as opposed to traditional medicine, and it provides better treatment for hemato oncology treatment. For instance, in July 2022, The National Cancer Center conducted a prospective cohort study on the gene panel testing for blood cancers (hematological malignancies) developed with Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., and it showed that the clinical utility of the panel testing was notably high in diagnosis and prognosis. Thus, such initiatives in hemato-oncology testing are expected to boost the testing services for hemato-oncological diseases.
Also, the high global prevalence of leukemia, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and myeloma cancer is driving the growth of the studied segment. For instance, according to the data published by Cancer Australia in August 2022, an estimated 5,202 new cases of leukemia were diagnosed in Australia in 2022. Thus, the high incidence of lymphoma, leukemia and myeloma cancer globally is increasing the demand for hemato oncology testing services, thereby propelling the growth of the studied market.
Similarly, according to a report published by ICMR-National Centre for Disease Informatics and Research in 2021, leukemia accounted for nearly half of all childhood cancers in both genders in the 0-14 years age group in India; it had a prevalence of 46.4% in boys and 44.3% in girls in 2021. The other common childhood cancer in boys was found to be lymphoma (16.4%) in 2021. Hence, the high prevalence of hematologic cancers is expected to drive the growth of the studied market.
North America Region is Expected to Witness Significant Growth over the Forecast Period
North America is at the forefront of growth in the region and is also an important revenue contributor in the global arena. The large share of this segment can primarily be attributed to the high incidences of hematologic cancer, the aging population, awareness regarding advanced treatment methods, and the strong presence of industry players in the region.
The rising prevalence of leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma is stimulating the growth of the market in the region. For instance, as per the Canada Cancer Society's statistics for 2022, around 6,700 Canadians were diagnosed with leukemia in 2021, out of which 4,000 were men and 2,700 were women. Also, as per the American Cancer Society's data for 2023, around 59,610 new cases of leukemia and 20,380 new cases of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are expected to be diagnosed in the United States in 2023. Thus, the high incidence of blood cancer cases is leading to an increase in hemato oncology testing, thereby driving the market in the region.
Furthermore, various organizations are taking initiatives for better blood cancer care which is expected to drive market growth. For instance, in 2021, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) announced that they provided more than USD 241 million in grants to support over 42,000 blood cancer patients in the United States. Hence, such initiatives are also supporting market growth.
