Market Size & Growth
Key Market Drivers
Challenges
The surging burden of cervical cancer worldwide will increase the demand for HPV testing and PAP tests. The growing popularity of screening test kits will further influence the industry expansion. To state an instance, Roche, in 2021, received the U.S. FDA approval for the Cobas HPV test deployed for detecting the risk of cervical cancer among women by identifying the presence of high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA in cervical samples.
The strong presence of stringent regulatory frameworks may act as a major restraint for the industry growth. The lack of uniformity within the regulatory frameworks is giving rise to uncertainty for several firms that develop and market HPV and PAP tests given the variation of requirements and standards offered by different regulatory bodies, further delaying the product developments and market approvals. The increasing complexity of these regulations will also limit the deployment of HPV and PAP testing.
HPV Testing and PAP Test Market Analysis
With respect to test type, the HPV testing market size is projected be worth USD 4.8 billion by 2032. The growth can be attributed to the increasing awareness regarding cervical cancer and the growing number of sexually active people. The rapidly expanding homosexual population along with the increasing number of individuals affected with weakened immune systems has stirred the higher risk of contracting HPV, subsequently amplifying the awareness regarding HPV-related illnesses.
HPV testing and PAP test market size from the liquid-based cytology technology segment will witness over 16% CAGR from 2023-2032. Liquid-based cytology is widely employed in cervical cancer screening and includes the collection of cervical cells and their placement in liquid-based mediums for analysis. This technology is increasingly adopted in PAP tests as an alternative to traditional testing methods where cells can be directly transferred onto glass slides for examination.
North America HPV testing and PAP test market is expected to surpass USD 3.5 billion by 2032 due to the surging healthcare expenditure in the region. The increasing awareness related to cervical cancer has made way for a large number of supportive government initiatives. The thriving need for early disease diagnosis and the subsequently rising implementation of HPV testing as well as PAP test will influence the regional industry growth.
