The global biomarkers market size was valued at $46.4 billion in 2023, and is projected to reach $134.2 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 11.2% from 2024 to 2033.
Biomarkers are measurable indicators that provide essential information about biological processes, health conditions, or responses to therapeutic interventions. These markers, found in various bodily fluids, tissues, or even imaging data, play a crucial role in diagnostics, prognosis, and monitoring of diseases. They serve as objectifiable and quantifiable measures, aiding clinicians in assessing the presence, severity, and progression of illnesses. Biomarkers cover a broad spectrum, including proteins, nucleic acids, metabolites, and imaging parameters, reflecting the diverse nature of biological systems.
The biomarkers market is expected to register significant growth during the forecast period owing to a rise in incidence of chronic diseases and high adoption of the biomarkers in the drug development process.
The rise in incidence of chronic diseases has emerged as a pivotal driver propelling the growth of the biomarkers market. In recent years, there has been a noteworthy surge in the prevalence of conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders globally. For instance, according to the 2024 report by World Health Organization, it was estimated that over 35 million new cancer cases are expected to be diagnosed in 2050. This surge is attributed to several factors, such as sedentary lifestyles, unhealthy dietary habits, and an aging population. As chronic diseases continue to impose a substantial burden on healthcare systems, there is an increase in emphasis on early and accurate diagnosis for effective disease management.
Biomarkers, which are measurable indicators of biological processes or conditions, play a crucial role in disease diagnosis by providing valuable insights into the physiological state of an individual. Biomarkers facilitate early detection, risk assessment, and monitoring of disease progression, enabling timely intervention and personalized treatment strategies. For instance, Guardant Health, an American biotechnology firm, provides Guardant360 CDx test. Guardant360 CDx test is FDA-approved for complete genomic testing for all solid cancers. The test delivers comprehensive genomic results within 7 days of a basic blood test, helping doctors make informed treatment choices. Furthermore, technological advancements in genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics have broadened the range of biomarkers for clinical use, improving their effectiveness in diagnosis of various diseases. Thus, the rise in the incidence of chronic diseases is expected to drive the growth of the market.
The surge in adoption of biomarkers in the drug development process stands as a pivotal driver propelling the growth of the biomarkers market. Biomarkers, defined as measurable indicators of biological processes or responses to therapeutic interventions, have become indispensable tools in the drug development process. The ability of biomarkers to provide precise and real-time information about the physiological and molecular status of an organism has revolutionized the way pharmaceutical companies approach drug discovery and development. Biomarkers offer a means to objectively assess the efficacy, safety, and potential adverse effects of new drugs at various stages, from preclinical studies to clinical trials. This expedites the drug development timeline and enhances the probability of successful outcomes. For instance, according to the 2020 report by the National Library of Medicine, biomarkers are widely used at every stage of drug discovery and development. Utilization of biomarkers has a potential to make drug discovery, development, and approval processes more efficient. Thus, the rise in adoption of biomarkers in the drug discovery and development procedure is expected to contribute significantly to the growth of the market.
However, data security and privacy concerns have emerged as major concerns that restrain the growth of the market. The life sciences industry relies heavily on the collection, storage, and analysis of vast amounts of sensitive and confidential data, including patient records, clinical trial information, and genomic data. With the increase in digitization of healthcare processes and the adoption of advanced technologies, such as cloud computing and big data analytics, the risk of data breaches and unauthorized access has escalated. Thus, data security and privacy concerns are expected to restrain the growth of the market.
In addition, high development costs might restrain the growth of the market. The discovery and validation of biomarkers involve significant R&D costs. The high cost of developing and validating biomarkers negatively impacts the adoption of the biomarkers particularly in smaller companies.
The biomarkers market is segmented on the basis of type, application, service, and region. By type, the market is divided into efficacy biomarkers, safety biomarkers, and validation biomarkers. By application, the market is divided into risk assessment, development of molecular diagnostic, disease diagnosis, drug discovery & development, drug formulation, forensic application, and others.
