HPV Testing and Pap Test Market Research, 2031
The global HPV testing and Pap test market size was valued at $3.7 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $6.7 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 6.1% from 2022 to 2031. Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmissible infection in world, belonging to papillomaviridae family. Human papillomavirus is a double stranded DNA tumor virus that causes epithelial proliferation at cutaneous and mucosal surfaces. Depending on the risk associated, HPV is categorized into two groups such as low-risk HPVs and high-risk HPVs. There are about 14 high-risk HPV types including HPV 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66, and 68. High-risk strains of HPV are now well established as the causative agents responsible for cervical and vaginal cancer. HPV 16 type is the most oncogenic, accounting for almost half of all cervical cancers, and HPV 16 and 18 together account for approximately 70% of cervical cancers.
Pap tests, HPV testing and co-test are included in cervical cancer screening which is a crucial part of a woman’s routine health checkup as it can diagnose abnormalities that could result in cancer of the cervix. The human papillomavirus (HPV) test checks cells for infection with high-risk HPV types that can cause cervical cancer. The Pap test (also called a Pap smear or cervical cytology) collects cervical cells so they can be checked for changes caused by HPV that may - if left untreated - turn into cervical cancer. The HPV/Pap co-test uses an HPV test and Pap test together to check for both high-risk HPV and cervical cell changes. Furthermore, women belonging to 21 – 29 years of age, are suggested first Pap test at age 21 followed by Pap testing every 3 years and for women aged 30 – 65 years, are recommended HPV test every 5 years / co-test every 5 years / Pap test every 3 years.
