Breast Biopsy Global Market Report 2026

A breast biopsy is a procedure in which a small sample of breast tissue is removed and examined under a microscope to determine whether it is cancerous or benign. It is usually performed when a lump or abnormality is detected through imaging or a physical exam, and it can be done using different techniques such as needle biopsy or surgical biopsy, often guided by imaging methods such as ultrasound or mammography.

The major types of breast biopsy products include biopsy needles, guidance systems, biopsy tables, localization wires, assay kits, liquid biopsy instruments, and others. Biopsy needles are specialized medical instruments designed to collect breast tissue samples for diagnostic evaluation. The image-guided technologies include MRI-guided breast biopsy, ultrasound-guided breast biopsy, mammography-guided stereotactic biopsy, CT-guided biopsy, and others, while the procedures involve needle breast biopsy, open surgical breast biopsy, and liquid breast biopsy. These are applied in hospitals, clinics, diagnostic centers, and other settings.

Tariffs are impacting the breast biopsy market by increasing the cost of imported biopsy needles, imaging guidance systems, and liquid biopsy instruments. Segments such as MRI-guided and stereotactic biopsy systems are particularly affected, with major manufacturing regions in Asia-Pacific, including China and India, facing higher import duties. This has led to elevated production and procurement costs, as well as delayed adoption in some regions. On the positive side, tariffs are encouraging local manufacturing, innovation in alternative devices, and investment in domestic production capacities.

This breast biopsy market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The breast biopsy market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.53 billion in 2025 to $1.65 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to limited availability of advanced biopsy systems, reliance on traditional surgical biopsy methods, increasing breast cancer incidence, growing hospital and diagnostic center infrastructure, adoption of ultrasound-guided procedures.

The breast biopsy market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.17 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to technological advancements in liquid biopsy and imaging-guided systems, rising awareness of early breast cancer detection, expansion of diagnostic centers and hospitals, increasing integration of ai and data analytics, development of personalized and precision medicine approaches. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of minimally invasive biopsy procedures, rising use of liquid biopsy techniques, growth in imaging-guided biopsy systems, expansion of breast cancer diagnostic and screening programs, enhanced focus on patient safety and sample accuracy.

The growing prevalence of breast cancer is anticipated to support the expansion of the breast biopsy market going forward. Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that develops in the cells of breast tissue and may spread to other parts of the body if not treated in a timely manner. The increasing prevalence of breast cancer is linked to factors such as longer life expectancy, improved screening and detection techniques, and heightened awareness of the disease. Breast biopsy procedures are used to extract tissue samples from suspicious breast areas to confirm diagnoses and determine cancer characteristics. For example, in October 2025, according to Breastcancer.org, a US-based non-profit organization, an estimated 316,950 women were projected to be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer in 2025, along with approximately 59,080 new cases of non-invasive ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). As a result, the rising prevalence of breast cancer is contributing to the expansion of the breast biopsy market.

Leading companies operating in the breast biopsy marker market are focusing on developing innovative products, such as ultrasound-visible site markers, to improve lesion localization and reduce marker displacement during breast biopsy procedures. An ultrasound-visible site marker is an implantable device designed to enhance visualization of biopsy sites during imaging while providing stable localization for future surgical interventions. For example, in August 2023, Mammotome, a US-based provider of breast biopsy and localization technologies, launched HydroMark Plus. This breast biopsy site marker improves lesion visibility under ultrasound, supporting accurate targeting by radiologists and surgeons while minimizing the risk of marker migration during subsequent surgical procedures. As the latest addition to Mammotome's HydroMark portfolio, HydroMark Plus is engineered for improved procedural reliability and was scheduled for nationwide availability in the US by year-end. Its key features include high ultrasound conspicuity, reduced movement within breast tissue, and compatibility with a wide range of breast imaging and interventional workflows, supporting improved clinical outcomes and procedural confidence.

In May 2024, Lunit Inc., a South Korea-based medical software company, acquired Volpara Health Technologies Ltd. for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Lunit enhances its portfolio with advanced breast imaging and analytics technologies, strengthening its capabilities in early cancer detection. Volpara Health Technologies Ltd. is a New Zealand-based provider of breast biopsy solutions.
