The global breast tissue markers market size was estimated at USD 775.8 million in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.0% from 2025 to 2030. The key factors driving market growth include the increasing incidence of breast cancer, increasing awareness regarding early detection, and growing adoption of minimally invasive diagnostic procedures. Supportive government initiatives and screening programs, along with a growing geriatric population prone to cancer, further propel market growth. According to the World Band data, around 19% of the total female population in the U.S. was aged 65 years and above in 2023, a significant rise over the past years.
The increasing incidence of breast cancer globally and the rising adoption of minimally invasive procedures are some of the major factors driving market growth. For instance, according to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women in the U.S., accounting for around 30% of all cancer cases. Moreover, it is estimated that in 2025, around 316,950 new invasive breast cancer cases can be diagnosed, and around 59,080 new cases of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) can be diagnosed, while breast cancer is expected to cause around 42,170 mortalities in the same year. This high prevalence of breast cancer has significantly increased the focus on early detection through mammography and image-guided biopsies, thereby increasing the demand for accurate localization and tracking solutions.
Technological advancements in the design and composition of breast tissue markers have significantly contributed to market growth. Traditional metallic clips have evolved into bio-compatible markers with distinct shapes and radiopacity profiles that improve visibility across various imaging platforms. Manufacturers are investing in developing 3D-shaped markers, polymer-embedded markers, and bio-absorbable designs that minimize migration, reduce artifacts in post-placement imaging, and offer improved compatibility with MRI and mammography.
For instance, in March 2024, Mammotome announced the 510(k) clearance of its LumiMARK Biopsy Site Marker, a novel tissue marker designed for enhanced visibility across ultrasound, mammography, and MRI. Developed in collaboration with radiologists, the self-expanding nitinol markers come in three distinct 3D shapes-Tulip, Lotus, and Rose-to support various clinical scenarios. 510(k) are cleared for marking breast tissue and axillary lymph nodes. Its design aims to improve accuracy in biopsy site localization and patient care during follow-up procedures. These innovations improve the workflow and reduce patient discomfort and complications, increasing the demand for these breast tissue markers in healthcare facilities.
Moreover, the market growth is also driven by increased initiatives and funding from government bodies and organizations dedicated to cancer prevention and early detection. For instance, in January 2025, the CDC announced a five-year, USD 2.3 million fund to Weill Cornell Medicine to enhance care for young breast cancer patients, focusing on diverse populations in New York City. Led by Drs. Vered Stearns and Tessa Cigler, the initiative aims to improve access, education, and support services, addressing physical and cultural needs to boost treatment adherence and survival outcomes.
Similarly, various programs such as the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) further increase women's access to breast cancer screenings. For instance, since its inception, the NBCCEDP has facilitated over 16.5 million breast and cervical cancer screenings, diagnosing nearly 80,000 invasive breast cancers. The convergence of governmental support, funding, and public health campaigns is expected to contribute to market growth over the forecast period.
