The China lung cancer screening market size was estimated at USD 554.17 million in 2024, and is projected to reach USD 1,492.56 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 11.83% from 2025 to 2033. Several key factors drive market growth, including the high prevalence of lung cancer, advances in screening technology, supportive government policies, and increasing awareness about early detection.According to the Shanghai Municipal People's Government, in June 2024, lung cancer was observed as one of the most common and deadliest tumors in China, with approximately 800,000 new cases reported annually and around 70.0% of patients diagnosed at advanced or terminal stages, highlighting the urgent need for effective screening solutions to improve early diagnosis and treatment outcomes.
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer incidence and mortality worldwide, and China carries the heaviest burden. Each year, an estimated 1.06 million new cases and 0.73 million deaths are attributed to lung cancer in the country, underscoring its status as a formidable public health challenge. Survival outcomes are strongly linked to stage at diagnosis: patients detected at stage IA have a 5-year survival rate of ~82%, compared to just ~7% in stage IVB, making early detection critical.
Historically, lung cancer in China has been diagnosed late, as early-stage disease presents few symptoms. Randomized controlled trials such as NLST (U.S.) and NELSON (Europe) demonstrated that low-dose CT (LDCT) screening can significantly reduce mortality. However, conventional LDCT presents challenges of false positives, overdiagnosis, and missed detection in high-risk groups not covered by international criteria. China has advanced localized screening protocols tailored to its population to address this. Risk factor profiling in western China-covering smoking, COPD, pulmonary fibrosis, and prior malignancies-has enabled more precise identification of high-risk cohorts.
