Tumor Blood Testing Global Market Report 2026

Tumor blood testing is a diagnostic technique that analyzes a blood sample to identify cancer-related biomarkers. It primarily detects genetic material released by tumors, such as circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), providing a minimally invasive alternative to traditional tissue biopsies for cancer detection and monitoring. This approach enables earlier diagnosis, continuous disease monitoring, and more informed treatment decisions.

The primary types of tests in the tumor blood testing market include circulating tumor cell (CTC) tests, circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) tests, exosome-based tests, and others. CTC tests detect and analyze cancer cells that have detached from a primary tumor and are circulating in the bloodstream. Key technologies include polymerase chain reaction (PCR), next-generation sequencing (NGS), microarray-based testing, mass spectrometry, and immunoassays. Tumor blood testing is applied to various cancers, including breast, colorectal, lung, prostate, and melanoma. Major applications include early cancer screening, therapy selection, treatment monitoring, and recurrence monitoring. Primary end-users comprise hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, research institutes, and other healthcare organizations.

Tariffs have increased costs for imported sequencing reagents, diagnostic kits, and analytical instruments used in tumor blood testing. North America and Asia-pacific are most affected due to dependence on specialized consumables. Diagnostic laboratories and research institutions face cost pressure, while tariffs are encouraging regional reagent manufacturing and localized testing infrastructure.

This tumor blood testing 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 tumor blood testing market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $5.98 billion in 2025 to $6.78 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rise in cancer prevalence, limitations of tissue biopsy, advancements in genomic testing, oncology research funding, demand for non-invasive diagnostics.

The tumor blood testing market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $11.13 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to early cancer screening programs, ai-enabled genomic analysis, personalized medicine growth, expansion of companion diagnostics, clinical trial adoption. Major trends in the forecast period include liquid biopsy adoption, multi-cancer early detection, minimal residual disease monitoring, personalized oncology testing, high-sensitivity biomarker detection.

The rising occurrence of cancer is expected to contribute to the growth of the tumor blood testing market in the near future. An aging population and increased exposure to risk factors such as unhealthy diets, tobacco use, and environmental pollution are leading to a higher number of cancer cases. This is creating greater demand for early detection methods. Tumor blood testing offers a less invasive approach for identifying cancer at an early stage by detecting specific biomarkers in the blood. This allows for earlier diagnosis, timely treatment, better patient outcomes, and continuous monitoring of disease progression as well as therapy effectiveness. For example, in May 2024, the National Cancer Institute, a government organization in the United States, reported that as of January 2022, an estimated 18.1 million cancer survivors were living in the country, with this number expected to grow to 26 million by 2040. As a result, the increasing number of cancer cases is contributing to the expansion of the tumor blood testing market.

Leading companies in the tumor blood testing market are prioritizing the development of new technologies, including non-invasive liquid biopsy techniques, to improve early cancer detection, monitor how patients respond to treatment, and track disease progression more effectively. These liquid biopsy methods are diagnostic tools that identify and examine cancer-related biomarkers found in body fluids, offering a safer and more convenient option compared to traditional tissue biopsies. For instance, in February 2024, Delfi Diagnostics, a biotechnology company based in the United States, partnered with Immunocore Holdings plc, a biotechnology company based in the United Kingdom, to introduce the DELFI-Tumor Fraction assay. This blood test evaluates fragments of cell-free DNA present in the bloodstream to determine tumor levels and how the body is responding to treatment. This liquid biopsy, which relies on fragmentome analysis, serves as a non-invasive and cost-efficient alternative to conventional diagnostic procedures, requiring only a small amount of plasma and delivering results within two weeks.

In August 2025, Exact Sciences Corp., a diagnostics and biotechnology firm based in the United States, obtained the rights to a blood-based colon cancer screening test developed by Freenome Holdings Inc. for an undisclosed sum. With this acquisition, Exact Sciences Corp aims to strengthen its position in the field of early cancer detection and enhance its technological offerings by integrating Freenome Holdings Inc.'s advanced platform, which uses multiple types of data along with artificial intelligence to support blood testing. Freenome Holdings Inc. is a biotechnology company located in the United States that is focused on developing blood-based diagnostics to identify cancer at an early stage.
