Developing economies present a significant opportunity across various markets, particularly in healthcare, owing to their underdeveloped research and development sectors. These regions often struggle to address the emerging health challenges due to limited resources and infrastructure. The African continent, in particular, stands as a prime example, grappling with substantial gaps in its healthcare landscape. Despite a considerable demand for medical solutions, the region heavily relies on imported medicines and health technologies. However, the healthcare industry within Africa faces sluggish growth primarily due to economic constraints, hindering its ability to adequately address the pressing health needs of its populace.

The enormity of healthcare challenges in Africa is starkly evident in the realm of oncology. According to data from the global Cancer Observatory, the African region recorded a staggering 1,055,172 new cases of cancer in 2018 alone. This surge in cancer incidences has placed an immense burden on healthcare systems, exacerbated by the fact that around 506,000 cancer-related deaths occurred in sub-Saharan Africa during the same year. These statistics underscore the dire need for enhanced healthcare infrastructure, improved access to quality treatments, and advanced medical technologies across the African continent to combat the growing cancer burden.

Amidst the healthcare challenges faced by developing economies like Africa, there exists a pivotal opportunity for transformative interventions. By investing in bolstering research and development capabilities, fostering indigenous healthcare solutions, and fortifying healthcare infrastructure, these regions can address the prevalent health disparities. Initiatives aimed at improving access to affordable and effective medical treatments, fostering local innovation, and strengthening healthcare systems hold immense potential in mitigating the healthcare challenges plaguing these economies.

Collaborative efforts among governments, international organizations, private enterprises, and healthcare stakeholders are essential to catalyze positive transformations within the healthcare landscape of developing economies like Africa. By leveraging these concerted efforts and investing in healthcare infrastructures tailored to the unique needs of these regions, it becomes possible to envisage a future where healthcare access and outcomes are significantly improved, consequently alleviating the burden of diseases like cancer and fostering healthier societies.

Companion Diagnostics for Oncology Market Overview


Companion Diagnostics for Oncology Market was valued at USD 2.5 Billion in 2032 and is expected to register a CAGR of 21.1% during the forecast period of 2023 to 2032.


Companion diagnostic (CDx) is a diagnostic testing kit majorly used by pharmaceutical companies for the development of personalized medicine. CDx tests provide information about the effective use of a corresponding therapeutic product by analyzing the genetic material. With the rise in cancer prevalence, coupled with increasing strategic initiatives, there has been a huge demand for companion diagnostics in the oncology area. The growing prevalence of cancer across the globe is increasing the preference for targeted therapy, which is affecting the demand for CDx tests. According to Cancer Research UK, there were 17 million new cases of cancer across the world in 2018, in which lung and breast cancer accounted for the largest share, followed by colorectal and prostate cancer.


Market Dynamics


The key factors driving the companion Diagnostics for Oncology market growth are increasing R&D and drug-diagnostic co-development, growing preference for personalized medicine, increasing global incidence of cancer, and increasing product approvals by major players. However, the lack of reimbursement in developing regions may hamper the companion Diagnostics for Oncology market growth. The entry of market players in evolving economies creates an opportunity to drive the companion diagnostics for oncology market.


Major market players are focusing on various growth strategies such as product launches, product advancements, and business expansions to cater to the growing need for personalized medicine. These product launches and business expansion drive the growth of the companion diagnostics for oncology market. For instance, in March 2020, Thermo Fisher signed a strategic agreement with Janssen Services to co-develop a companion diagnostic product related to oncology, which will support clinical trial enrollment globally. In March 2019, Roche launched the Ventana PD-L1 (SP142) Assay in Europe as the first companion diagnostic to identify triple-negative breast cancer patients eligible for treatment with Tecentriq. Similarly, in March 2019, Roche received the US FDA approval for its Ventana PD-L1 (SP142) assay approved as the first companion diagnostic to identify triple-negative breast cancer patients eligible for the treatment with Tecentriq in combination with Abraxane. Furthermore, in April 2018, Illumina entered a collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb Company to utilize Illumina’s next-generation sequencing technology to develop and globally commercialize companion diagnostics for Bristol-Myers Squibb Company’s oncology immunotherapies, and the growing prevalence of cancer across the globe is increasing the preference for targeted therapy which is affecting the demand for CDx tests.
