Among the disease indication segment, the oncology segment is expected to hold the highest revenue share in 2021. The significant stake can be accredited to the increased number of cancer patients worldwide, along with the growing technological advancements in biomarkers techniques. In recent years, genomic biomarkers have had several potential applications in oncology, including risk assessment, determination of prognosis, screening differential diagnosis, monitoring of cancer progression, and prediction of response to treatment.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cancer is considered the second-leading cause of death globally, accounting for 70% of deaths in low- and middle-income countries. The WHO also estimated that 18.1 million new cancer cases and 9.6 million cancer deaths were reported globally in 2018.
On the contrary, the cardiovascular disease segment is likely to account for a considerable share in the overall market. Factors such as the rising cases of cardiovascular diseases and the remarkable application of genomic biomarkers in ischemic heart diseases are major factors propelling the demand for the genomic biomarkers market. The increased prevalence of CVD directly impacts the demand for genomic biomarkers since it provides access to reliable health interventions with high-quality control. Therefore, it significantly towards the high market growth globally.
Based on end-use, the diagnostic center segment is expected to hold the largest market share in 2020. Factors such as the use of genomics biomarkers for the effective diagnosis of multiple diseases, such as cancer, infectious diseases, neurological disorders, and cardiovascular disorders, are on the surging trend. As a result, genomic biomarkers find extensive application in preclinical drug development related to such chronic disease. They can use them to examine efficacy or screen for adverse impact in model systems before human testing. Therefore, this factor is likely to create a lucrative growth prospect for the higher segmental growth in the overall market.
On the contrary, the hospital segment is projected to register a significant growth rate in the overall market during the forecast period. Factors such as the growing availability of genomic biomarkers in hospitals, the increasing investment by government authorities in the healthcare industry, and various hospitals projects providing chronic disease treatment are likely to support the market growth. For instance, according to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), America’s national health spending has contributed to growing at an average rate of 5.5% annually for 2018-27 and is also expected to reach nearly USD 6.0 trillion 2027. Therefore, this factor will be critical in driving the market growth for biomarkers worldwide.
Geographically, North America dominated the global market in 2020 and is estimated to continue its dominance owing to the rising adoption of genomic biomarkers in the early diagnosis of diseases and a growing number of healthcare and life science research programs in the region. Furthermore, the rise in regulatory approvals by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), favorable regulations for reimbursement and usage of biomarkers, and the growing strategic alliance between market vendors are a few factors that significantly pave towards the higher market growth in the region.
For instance, in January 2020, Color Genomics, in partnership with NorthShore University HealthSystem, announced the completion of the delivery of clinical genomics in routine health care under its US program. The company also backed Sanford's genomics program - Imagenetics, to enhance clinical decision-making. Such initiative is further responsible for the high adoption of genomic biomarkers in the region.
Moreover, Asia Pacific is projected to perceive a significant growth rate over the forecast period. Over the last decades, Asian countries have undergone the greatest transformation in the healthcare industry. The growth of healthcare infrastructural projects in the Asian economy and the high presence of sophisticated research laboratories creating a massive prospect for market growth in emerging nations, including China, India, and Japan, is expected to drive demand for biomarkers.
In addition, the regional growth is also expected to incline by the surging adoption of genomic technologies arising out of the initiation of several research programs. For instance, the GenomeAsia 100K Project sequencing (WGS) project allows genetic discoveries across the Asian economy. The study covered several countries from Asia, including South Korea, Malaysia, India, Indonesia, and more, to capture the broadest wealth of genetic diversity. This, in turn, is expected to leverage the growth prospect for the global biomarkers market.
