Fecal occult test is a medical test used to check stool samples for hidden or occult blood. The presence of occult blood indicates the presence of colon cancer or polyps in the colon or rectum, ulcers, anal fissures, Crohns disease, and many more conditions. The fecal occult test is used in clinical screening to detect colon cancer.
The major factors that contribute to the growth of the fecal occult testing market include increasing prevalence of rectal & colon cancer, initiatives taken by the government such as organizing colorectal cancer check-ups, improved medical infrastructure, and adoption of advanced fecal occult testing. However, factors such as less awareness about the test and high costs may restrain the market growth. The development of direct-to-consumer laboratory testing and availability of fecal occult immunological test devices in online stores will further provide lucrative market growth opportunities during the forecast period.
