Colorectal cancer molecular diagnostics refers to a category of diagnostic technologies and tools designed to detect specific molecular alterations associated with colorectal cancer. These alterations include gene mutations, microsatellite instability and DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) methylation patterns, which are critical for understanding disease behavior and informing clinical decisions. These diagnostics play a central role in enhancing the accuracy of screening, confirming diagnoses, guiding treatment strategies and monitoring for disease progression or recurrence.
The global colorectal cancer molecular diagnostics market reached a value of nearly $2,560.91 million in 2024, having grown at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.54% since 2019. The market is expected to grow from $2,560.91 million in 2024 to $3,827.29 million in 2029 at a rate of 8.37%. The market is then expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.85% from 2029 and reach $5,585.53 million in 2034.
Shift Towards Personalized Medicine
During the historic period, the colorectal cancer molecular diagnostics market mainly driven by a shift towards personalized medicine. The move away from one-size-fits-all treatment strategies toward tailored diagnostic and therapeutic approaches based on patient-specific genetic, molecular and biomarker profiles enhanced precision and outcomes in colorectal cancer (CRC) care. Personalized medicine enables better matching of targeted therapies, reduction in adverse effects and more efficient use of resources. For instance, in October 2022, according to the Personalized Medicine Coalition, a US-based organization that represents scientists, patients and providers, promoting the understanding and adoption of personalized medicine to benefit patients and the healthcare system, estimated that more than 75,000 genetic testing products and 300 personalized medicines are on the market for people with multiple types of cancers, genetic rare diseases and a range of chronic and infectious diseases. Therefore, the shift towards personal medicine drove the growth of the colorectal cancer molecular diagnostics market.
Growing Adoption Of At-Home Colorectal Cancer Screening Kits
Major players in the colorectal cancer molecular diagnostics market are focusing on the launch and expansion of at-home screening kits designed to improve convenience and encourage greater participation in regular cancer screening programs. These initiatives are aimed at reducing barriers such as clinic visits and invasive procedures, while also expanding access to underserved populations. For instance, in March 2024, Guardant Health, a US-based precision oncology company, launched Shield, its first blood-based colorectal cancer screening test available for at-home use. Shield enables individuals to collect samples outside clinical settings, thereby improving compliance and broadening adoption. By emphasizing patient-centered accessibility, Guardant Health aims to increase early cancer detection rates and strengthen its position in the non-invasive diagnostics market.
The global colorectal cancer molecular diagnostics market is concentrated, with large players operating the market. The top ten competitors in the market made up to 49.36% of the total market in 2024.
