Precision Diagnostics Market Growth Factors

Increased Demand for Personalized Medicine to Augment Market Growth

Personalized therapy is available to patients with an understanding of the molecular basis of diseases. It has become famous over recent years where genetic testing and genome sequencing are two of the essential tools used to comprehend the molecular basis of disease. European countries are screened for many genetic disorders, as early detection of these diseases can prevent the onset of symptoms or reduce the severity of the disease.

Additionally, a sudden increase in pandemic cases has escalated the demand for COVID-19 diagnostic procedures and products, leading to increased demand for disease diagnostics. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in May 2021, 163,312,429 people worldwide were affected by COVID-19. Such instant daily rise in cases has surged the adoption of advanced diagnostic solutions to provide early treatment to patients.

Moreover, several industry players and research institutes are collaborating to introduce clinical laboratories to provide precision and personalized medicines.

• For instance, in January 2024, Siemens Healthineers announced a collaboration with the Indian Institute of Science to advance precision medicines through artificial intelligence and machine learning technology.


• Similarly, the newly established European Partnership for personalized medicine was launched in October 2023 at a prestigious conference held in Valencia on the topic of personalized medicine.

Increased Applications in Oncology and Other Rare Disorders to Propel Market Growth

The rising prevalence of cancer and growing incidence of neurological diseases are estimated to increase the demand for precision medicine and drive the growth of the global market. For example, in 2019, as per Neurological Alliance, there were about 14.7 million neurological cases, with at least 1 in 6 people living with one or more neurological conditions. For example, according to WHO, Alzheimer's disease is the most conventional form of dementia, contributing nearly 60–70% of cases as of September 2020.

Many organizations collaborate to develop medicines targeted to treat a particular group of patients according to their specific requirements, consequently increasing the number of clinical trials, thus leading to an increase in disease diagnostics.

• For instance, in June 2021, Personal Genome Diagnostics Inc. Massachusetts General Hospital announced a strategic collaboration to advance the development of effective treatment services.

In addition, several hospitals and research institutes are launching centers for the diagnosis and treatment of different types of cancers.

• In January 2023, Apollo Cancer Centre unveiled India’s first Precision Oncology Centre, incorporating AI technology. This facility offers comprehensive and specialized medical services that guarantee precise diagnosis, real-time insights, cancer risk evaluation, treatment protocols, and ongoing care, thereby delivering pioneering oncology services previously unavailable in India.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

High-Capital Investment Required for Research & Development of Precision Medicine and Diagnostic Kits to Limit Market Growth

Despite immense potential in various areas of modern healthcare, high R&D costs could slow down developments in the field of precision diagnostics, thereby hindering the market growth. Accurate diagnosis remains one of the major priorities for healthcare providers. Still, quick turnaround time for results, rising demand for test kits, and inefficiency of the tests themselves are affecting the market development.

Besides these factors, a strict regulatory scenario in most countries for the development of new test kits acts as a major growth-restraining factor. As COVID-19 cases continue to rise across the world, the need for safer and more improved kits to deliver accurate diagnosis and treatment has caused disorder in the market. Manufacturers need to comply with strict healthcare standards to launch new test kits. In the U.S., for example, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are some of the regulatory bodies that have enforced new guidelines and restructured previous ones.

Moreover, the substantial expenses linked to deploying precision diagnostic tools and conducting clinical trials can present a financial burden for healthcare providers. Furthermore, concerns about data privacy and security may deter individuals from sharing medical information for diagnostic purposes. These are some of the factors hindering the adoption of precision diagnostic technologies. 

• For instance, as per the data provided by the National Center for Biotechnology Information in July 2021, several hurdles remain in the progression of precision medicine, including the associated costs, ethical considerations, data security, security of big data, and availability of proficiency personnel to oversee data management and algorithms.
