Lung Cancer Screening Market Research, 2031
The global lung cancer screening market size was valued at $879.6 million in 2021, and is projected to reach $1,853.04 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 7.7% from 2022 to 2031. The term, lung cancer screening refers to methods for detecting the disease early, when it is more likely to be cured, before symptoms appear. Lung cancer incidence and prevalence make lung cancer screening extremely important. The goal of lung cancer screening is to detect lung cancer at a very early stage. Lung cancer screening is recommended for older adults who are longtime smokers and who don't have any signs or symptoms of lung cancer. Physicians use a low-dose computerized tomography (LDCT) scan or X-ray for screening. Lung cancer is the 2nd most common type of cancer according to World Health Organization (WHO).
Growth of the global lung cancer screening market is majorly driven by rise in technological advancement in lung cancer screening methods, growing population of smokers and tobacco consumers. For instance, according to Food and Drug Administration (FDA), in 2021, approximately 2.55 million students consumed tobacco products. In addition, according to Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2020, nearly 13 of every 100 U.S. adults aged 18 years and older smoke cigarettes. Moreover, rise in prevalence of lung cancer is the major factor responsible for rising demand of lung cancer screening devices and solutions, thus, driving the growth of the lung cancer screening market size.
Moreover, the global market expansion is being fueled by factors, such as increase in use of low-dose computed tomography for lung cancer screening by doctors. In addition, rise in awareness regarding innovative and affordable lung cancer screening techniques in the developing countries, such as India and China contribute towards the growth of the market. Furthermore, few market players are adopting inorganic strategies, such as collaborations with healthcare institutes with an aim to increase awareness about lung cancer among general people. For instance, Nuance Communications, Inc., collaborated with Baptist Health South Florida’s Miami Cancer Institute (MCI) and established a lung cancer screening program for conducting imaging tests for early diagnosis and effective treatment of disease.
On the other hand, high cost of screening is the factor expected to hamper the growth of the market. In addition, chest x-ray and computed tomography expose the chest to radiations, which cause health problems. This is the factor negatively affects the growth of the lung cancer screening market share.
Impact of COVID-19 on Market on Lung Cancer Screening Market
Coronavirus Severe acute respiration syndrome (SARS-CoV-2) is an infectious disease caused by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), which originated in the Wuhan district in China in the late 2019, and since has spread to 212 countries. The virus was initially referred to as “novel coronavirus 2019” (2019-nCoV) by the WHO, however, on February 11, 2020, it was given the official name of SARS-CoV-2 by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses. WHO declared COVID-19 as pandemic on March 11, 2020, and by September 1, 2020, over 28.1 million people have been infected globally with over 909,000 deaths. COVID-19 symptoms include fever, cough, and shortness of breath.
Nearly all industries have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic led to lock-down and strict following of the social distancing rules, this has resulted in a significant decrease in demand for the lung cancer screening devices. The main cause of the interruption experienced by patients getting screening tests done from the hospitals. In addition, significant disruption in lung cancer screening led to decrease in new patients screened, thus reducing the demand for lung cancer screening solution and devices. As a result, the COVID-19 outbreak is expected to slow down the global market growth of the lung cancer screening market share, which is expected to have a negative effect on the market's value in 2021 and beyond.
