The global market for cancer biomarkers is projected to reach USD 54.48 billion by 2032 from USD 28.25 billion in 2026. Factors contributing to the growth of this market include rising cancer cases, advances in technology for cancer biomarker development, research and development activities focused on cancer biomarkers, and increased use of cancer biomarkers in drug discovery and development. On the other hand, costs associated with different types of cancer diagnostic tests, the need for substantial investment, poor reimbursement policies, and technical challenges in sample handling hinder market growth.
In April 2025, Roche was granted FDA Breakthrough Device Designation for the VENTANA TROP2 (EPR20043) RxDx Device. This was a massive milestone as it is the first AI-driven computational pathology companion diagnostic device, used to identify non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients eligible for DATROWAY.
