Asia-Pacific Oncology Molecular Diagnostics Market

Asia-Pacific Oncology Molecular Diagnostics Market Insight 2022-2031

The Asia-Pacific oncology molecular diagnostics market was valued at $610.17 Million in 2021, and is projected to reach $1,241.00 Million by 2031, registering a CAGR of 7.3% from 2022 to 2031. Oncology molecular diagnostics methods are applied for the treatment of various kinds of cancers such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer and others based at their molecular level .This methods are used for identification and screening of cancer cells by analyzing their biomolecules such as protein,  DNA or RNA .There  are several molecular diagnostics tests are performed by using blood sample, saliva and sample from tumor tissue for detection and measurement of specific genetic sequence of the normal cell and infected cells. Oncology molecular diagnostics help to perform rapid analysis and provide detailed information about disease, and it will help to further cancer treatment.

The COVID-19 outbreak has negatively impacted the Asia-Pacific oncology molecular diagnostics market, owing to decline in number of patient visits in hospitals and clinics for cancer diagnosis.

Increase in prevalence of different kinds of cancers, increase in geriatric population, and growth in biomarker identification system and changed lifestyle, as well as technological advancements in molecular diagnostics techniques accelerate the oncology molecular diagnostics market growth. Apart from this, the increased demand for rapid and accurate diagnosis, along with advancements in next generation sequencing (NGS) techniques, is contributing to the growth of the market. Furthermore, increased surge in awareness about personalized medication and rise in number of patients suffering from different type of cancers also boost market growth. The support of government and key players for the development of the advanced technologies for the diagnosis and management of cancer population also boost the Asia-Pacific oncology molecular diagnostics market growth.

Lack of healthcare insurance and less awareness among individuals regarding the benefits of skilled professionals for handling of the molecular diagnostics techniques which will impede the growth of the oncology molecular diagnostics market. Moreover, governments introduce programs for awareness about cancer to reduce the burden of cancer population, which create lucrative opportunities for key market players.

COVID-19 Impact on Asia-Pacific oncology molecular diagnostics market

Coronavirus (COVID-19) was discovered in December 2019 in Hubei province of Wuhan city in China. The disease is caused by a virus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which is transmitted among humans.

After its discovery in Wuhan, the disease rapidly spread to other parts of the globe. Moreover, this virus causes various symptoms in patients, which range from common symptoms to serious symptoms. For instance, common symptoms include fever, dry cough, and fatigue. However, serious symptoms include difficulty in breathing or shortness of breath, chest pain or pressure, and loss of speech or movement. Furthermore, the virus has high potential of lethality in geriatric population. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization made an assessment that COVID-19 can be characterized as pandemic. In addition, only a few vaccines received emergency approvals for COVID-19 prevention. Thus, social distancing is observed as the most important measure to stop the spread of this disease. Furthermore, to maintain social distancing, various countries across the world have adopted nationwide lockdowns.

The COVID-19 outbreak has negatively impacted the Asia-Pacific oncology molecular diagnostics market, owing to decline in number of patient visits in hospitals and clinics for cancer diagnosis. As hospitals and clinics are giving first priority to COVID-19 patients so the appointment for diagnosis of cancer and their treatment are cancelled, which has negatively impacted the Asia-Pacific oncology molecular diagnostics market.

COVID-19 condition has disturbed the health care system and management of cancer treatment is affected by these disruptions. For instance, according to the Clinical Laboratory data in Australia, it was estimated that number of cancer patient visits for diagnosis has decreased by 17.3 % in 2020. As per, the Lancet Oncology, in 2020, it was estimated that the number cancer patient visits in Asia-Pacific decreased by 46% and these reduction in numbers are marked between April-October 2020. Thus, decline in number of cancer patient visits for diagnosis has led to decline in demand for oncology molecular diagnostic products.
