The global lung cancer screening market size was valued at USD 3.28 billion in 2023. The market is projected to grow from USD 3.55 billion in 2024 to USD 7.10 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 9.1% during the forecast period. Moreover, the U.S. lung cancer screening market size is projected to grow significantly, reaching an estimated value of USD 3.83 billion by 2032, driven by growing incidence of lung cancer and strong implementation of screening programs.


Lung cancer is one of the major types of cancer. It is caused by the uncontrolled growth of cells in the lungs. The occurrence of this cancer is closely related to the consumption of tobacco. In the majority of the cases, tobacco consumption is the primary reason for growing incidence of this type of cancer among general population.


The market is thriving owing to the surge in the incidence of this type of cancer due to the increasing smoking population, technological advancements in screening, and increasing government support for the early detection of cases. Moreover, strategic collaborations and updated recommendations and guidelines on screening are also likely to boost the market growth in the near future.



  • For instance, in 2019, Genentech and Roche partnered up to explore biomarker screening for lung cancer treatment and detection. According to the companies, this genome-based testing could soon replace invasive tissue biopsies of the lungs.


The emergence of the pandemic initially impacted the screening programs globally, especially in the developed countries, owing to travel restrictions and lockdowns imposed by governments. This led to a decline in the number of people screened for this type of cancer. However, resumption of services during later stages of Q2 and in H2 2020 led to an increase in the number of patients screened. This increase compensated for the decline in patients during H1 2020.  The market returned to the pre-pandemic growth trends in 2021 and 2022.


Lung Cancer Screening Market Trends


Technological Advancements in Screening Techniques is a Prominent Trend

  • For Instance, in September 2020, researchers from the University of Otago conducted a research study on the diagnosis of lung cancer by the use of low-dose computerized tomography (LDCT). The study, which used scientific modeling to estimate the benefits of low cast LDCT screening, was published in BMJ Open medical journal.


Furthermore, in recent years, there have been notable technological advancements in lung cancer screening, primarily aimed at enhancing early detection with accuracy. Several innovations are changing the concept of cancer detection, including liquid biopsies, AI analyzers, and synthetic biopsies. To support these facts, several research institutes and industry players are developing advanced technologies for cancer detection at an early stage.



  • For instance, in January 2024, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology developed a nanoparticle sensor that an inhaler can deliver for lung cancer diagnosis. This technology could replace current methods of diagnosis, specifically in low-income countries, where patients have limited access to CT scanners.

  • Similarly, in October 2023, Delfi Diagnostics introduced its first liquid biopsy test for screening lung cancer.


In addition, the burden of radiologists is reduced, and the use of artificial intelligence-based lung cancer screening increases the sensitivity of cancer detection. These developments can improve outcomes for patients in the long run. Additionally, the strong growth of the medical devices industry is pushing existing leading players and domestic companies to expand their product portfolio.

Smoking and vaping are expected to increase the incidences of lung cancer among the general population. The surge in the incidence is anticipated to increase the demand for effective screening tests and solutions globally.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


High Cost of Tests to Restrict Market Growth


The cost of screening is higher, which makes it unaffordable for the general population, especially in the low-income category. Moreover, the lack of awareness regarding screening in developing economies is also likely to hamper market growth.



  • For instance, the average cost of a CT scan in the United States is around USD 300, and the insurance providers offer coverage only to patients with a high risk of developing lung cancer.


In addition, the high costs associated with screening tests, such as Computed Tomography (CT), and accessibility issues, especially in rural areas, can hinder widespread adoption. Also, several individuals cannot access screening facilities for these tests.



  • For instance, as per the data published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information in January 2020, CT screening for lung cancer resulted in a 60.0% increase in the mean total annual healthcare expenses, with a significant portion (52%) attributed to indirect costs.


Moreover, the scarcity of radiologists, radiology technicians, laboratory practitioners in developing and underdeveloped countries is anticipated to hamper the number of screening tests in the forecast period.


Hence, all the above factors restrict the adoption of lung screening solutions and are expected to hamper further the growth of the market in the forecast period.
