Dublin, Jan. 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Pediatric Cancer Biomarkers Market by Indication, Biomarker, End User, and Region” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering. This comprehensive research report focuses on the global and regional market size and forecasts from 2023 to 2034.
The global pediatric cancer biomarkers market size was estimated to be USD 0.888 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach USD 2.19 billion by 2034 with a CAGR of 8.54% during the forecast period 2024-2034. The market will grow as a result of factors such as rising pediatric cancer incidence, improvements in genomic and proteomic technologies, a shift toward personalized medicine, government and research initiatives, and partnerships between pharmaceutical companies and research institutes.
The growing recognition of the critical role early cancer detection plays in pediatric oncology is driving increased demand for biomarker-based diagnostic tests. ? Initiatives promoting early screening for childhood cancers, supported by various healthcare organizations, are encouraging both parents and healthcare providers to embrace these advanced screening tools. According to a February 2023 report from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), approximately 400,000 children and adolescents aged 0-19 are diagnosed with cancer globally each year. Pediatric cancers exhibit distinct characteristics compared to adult cancers, with leukemias being the most prevalent, followed by central nervous system (CNS) tumors and lymphomas.
By indication, the leukemia segment accounted for the highest revenue-grossing segment in the global pediatric cancer biomarkers market in 2023 owing to the high prevalence of pediatric leukemia, particularly acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and the extensive use of biomarkers for diagnosis, prognosis, and targeted therapies in leukemia patients. For instance, in June 2024, fresh clinical and biomarker data from the Phase 2 ST101 research was presented by Sapience therapies, Inc., a clinical-stage biotechnology company that specializes in peptide therapies for oncogenic and immunological dysregulation. Additionally, the CNS tumors segment is predicted to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the increasing incidence of brain and central nervous system cancers in children, along with advancements in biomarker identification and targeted therapies for these tumors.
By biomarker, the CD19, CD20, and CD22 segments accounted for the highest revenue-grossing segment in the global pediatric cancer biomarkers market in 2023 owing to the significant role these biomarkers play in B-cell lineage malignancies like leukemia and lymphoma, where they are key targets for therapies such as CAR-T cell treatments and monoclonal antibodies. For instance, in March 2024, researchers at UCSF discovered a novel marker for pediatric cancer, which provides fresh hope for potential targets for treatment. They identified a crucial weakness in neuroblastoma, a malignancy that accounts for 15% of pediatric cancer-related mortality. Additionally, the ALK (anaplastic lymphoma receptor tyrosine kinase gene) segment is predicted to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the increasing focus on targeted therapies for ALK-positive pediatric cancers, such as neuroblastoma, and the rising adoption of ALK inhibitors in clinical practice.
By end-user, the hospital segment accounted for the highest revenue-grossing segment in the global pediatric cancer biomarkers market in 2023 owing to the widespread adoption of biomarker-based diagnostics and treatment monitoring in hospital settings, where most pediatric cancer patients receive comprehensive care. For instance, the Cancer Research UK National Biomarker Centre opened its doors in June 2024. This state-of-the-art facility was established by Christie NHS, University of Manchester, Cancer Research UK, and the University of Manchester through a combination of fundraising and philanthropic contributions. Additionally, the research institutions segment is predicted to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the growing emphasis on biomarker research, clinical trials, and the development of innovative diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in pediatric oncology by academic and research institutions.
North America is anticipated for the highest revenue share during the forecast period owing to the well-established healthcare infrastructure, high prevalence of pediatric cancer, significant investments in cancer research, and early adoption of advanced biomarker-based diagnostics and therapies in the U.S. and Canada. Additionally, the Asia Pacific region is predicted to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the rising incidence of pediatric cancer, increasing awareness about early cancer detection, expanding healthcare infrastructure, and growing research and development activities in countries like China, India, and Japan. For instance, Quest and Envision Sciences collaborated to launch a novel prostate cancer biomarker test in August 2023 that is intended to detect patients with advanced stages of the illness. The biomarkers Appl1, Sortilin, and Syndecan-1, which were studied and produced for commercial use by researchers at the University of South Australia, Adelaide, are included in this novel test.
