Minimal Residual Disease Testing Market Dynamics
Driver: Rising incidence of hematological malignancies
Over the years, the incidence of hematologic cancer has increased significantly, which includes leukemia and lymphoma. According to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society 2020-2021, an estimated 1,519,907 people in the US are living with or in remission from leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), or myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). Also, the rising geriatric population across the globe is also a key factor supporting the increasing incidence of hematologic malignancies, as this population segment is more prone to various chronic diseases. Such cancer patients require continuous monitoring of disease during treatment. Also, the monitoring of minimal residual diseases (MRD) has become a routine clinical practice post-cancer treatment. As a result, the preference for minimal residual disease testing will likely rise in the forecast period, proportional to the growth in cancer prevalence.
Restraint: Complex regulatory framework and high cost of minimal residual disease testing kits
Regulatory and legal requirements applied to minimal residual tests are becoming more stringent. The FDA requirements and the time required to obtain premarket approval have increased, particularly regarding 510(k) applications with the FDA facing challenges when there is no standardized method for an analyte. On the other hand, the implementation of minimal residual disease testing products in diagnostic laboratories requires high capital investments. For instance, the cost of advanced minimal residual disease testing products varies between USD 20,000 and USD 50,000. In developing countries such as India and Brazil, owing to budget constraints, small and medium-sized organizations and academic laboratories cannot afford advanced and high-priced MRD kits. These factors restrain the market growth.
Opportunity: Growth opportunities in minimal residual disease testing in emerging countries
Developing economies such as India, South Korea, Brazil, Turkey, Russia, and South Africa are expected to offer potential growth opportunities for major players operating in the market. This can be attributed to the rising geriatric population, the growing incidence of hematologic cancers, rising health expenditure per capita, and improving healthcare infrastructure. In addition to the factors mentioned above, the Asia Pacific region has emerged as an adaptive and business-friendly hub due to relatively less stringent regulations and data requirements.
Challenge: Unclear reimbursement scenario and policies for patients
The procedure of paying for pricey molecular testing and the knowledge of the several specialists needed to interpret test results and create treatment programmes are convoluted and even. This is particularly problematic with more expensive modern methods like liquid biopsy which also includes testing minimal residual disease. The price of molecular testing services is frequently unknown to doctors, pathologists and patients until they are paid or billed. This results in a confusion between the patients and the providers.
Additionally, payers’s biomarker coverage policies have complex organizational structures that are quite challenging to comprehend. While some only pay for the most fundamental testsor those related to certain clinical disordersand genes, others pay for a wide variety of testing. Due to significant variety, it is also very difficult to evaluate and keep track of different coverage policies.
The PCR segment accounted for the highest growth rate in the minimal residual disease testing industry, by technology, during the forecast period
The minimal residual disease testing market is segmented into flow cytometry, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), next-generation sequencing (NGS). The PCR segment accounted for the highest growth rate in the market. The main elements contributing to the substantial proportion of this segment are the device’s simplicity of use, the accessibility of test kits and a better degree of sensitivity.
Hematological Malignancies applications segment of minimal residual disease testing industry, accounted for the highest CAGR
Based on application, the minimal residual disease testing market is segmented into hematological malignancies, solid tumors, and other applications. The hematological malignancies application segment accounted for the largest share. Leukemia, lymphoma and their various sub-types are becoming very common, and people are becoming more aware of the importance of ongoing patient monitoring, all of which are factors supporting the expansion of this market.
Hospitals & specialty clinics segment to dominate the minimal residual disease testing industry
Based on end users, the minimal residual disease testing market has been segmented into hospitals & specialty clinics, diagnostic laboratories, academic & research institutes, and other end users. The hospitals & specialty clinics segment accounted for the largest share of this market, while diagnostic laboratories are growing at the highest rate. The presence of cutting-edge diagnostic tools and qualified specialist to conduct these tests is what accounts for the big share of this market.
North America is the largest region in the minimal residual disease testing industry for liquid biopsy
Growth in the developed markets of North America is primarily driven by The large share of this regional segment can be attributed to the significant increase of leukemia and lymphoma, highly developed healthcare culture in the US and Canada, the presence of numerous top national clinical laboratories, and the easy accessibility to cutting-edge technology.
