Europe Ovarian Cancer Diagnostics Market Analysis and Insights 

Ovarian cancer is the type of cancer that forms in tissues of the ovary (one of a pair of female reproductive glands in which the ova, or eggs, are formed). Most ovarian cancers are either ovarian epithelial cancers (cancer that begins in the cells on the surface of the ovary) or malignant germ cell tumors (cancer that begins in egg cells). The tests and procedures used to diagnose ovarian cancer includes the pelvic exam, imaging tests, blood tests, surgery and among others. During a pelvic exam, the doctor inserts gloved fingers into the vagina and simultaneously presses a hand on the abdomen in order to feel (palpate) the pelvic organs.

Europe ovarian cancer diagnostics market is expected to grow in the forecast period of 2023 to 2030. Data Bridge Market Research analyses that the market is growing with a CAGR of 6.5% in the forecast period of 2023 to 2030 and is expected to reach USD 3,093.84 million by 2030 from USD 1,874.16 million in 2022.

Market Definition of Europe Ovarian Cancer Diagnostics Market

Ovarian cancer is most common in women between the ages of 50 and 79. It is becoming more prevalent as the world's geriatric population grows and there is a greater emphasis on early detection and treatment, which is expected to accelerate ovarian cancer diagnostic market development. Increasing government investment in raising awareness about early cancer detection as well as increasing health-care spending would also propel business growth. Obesity appears to play a significant role in the development of ovarian cancer. Other lifestyle choices that can raise the risk include smoking, drinking, and not having children. Since ovarian cancer is not easily detectable, women who are at risk of developing the disease must undergo routine testing to identify the disease early, allowing the market to expand.

Europe ovarian cancer diagnostic market is growing in the forecast year due to the rise in market players and the availability of advanced services. Along with this, manufacturers are engaged in R&D activity for launching novel services in the market. The increasing research in ovarian cancer diagnostics and development is further boosting the market growth. However, difficulties in ovarian cancer screening techniques might hamper the growth of the Europe ovarian cancer diagnostic market in the forecast period.

Europe Ovarian Cancer Diagnostics Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Growing Ovarian Cancer Awareness

Growing ovarian cancer awareness has led to an increased demand for timely cancer detection, leading to market growth.

Ovarian cancer is one of the major causes of rising mortality rates among female populations worldwide, which is fuelling market growth over the next five years. Cancer in the ovaries and cysts is becoming more common due to various factors such as environmental factors and genetic mutations.

Ovarian cancer is a type of cancer that affects women’s egg-producing organs, the ovaries. Ovarian cancer is difficult to diagnose because the symptoms are vague and are often detected only after cancer has spread through the stomach and pelvis, making it difficult to cure.

As a result, improved diagnostic processes and techniques are required to determine the cancer stage to treat. Furthermore, the rising mortality rate from ovarian cancer is concerning, emphasizing the importance of early detection so that treatment can be provided.

Due to an increase in awareness about ovarian cancer, it is expected to act as a driving factor for market growth.

• Improved Diagnostic Processes and Techniques

Screening tests and exams are used to detect a disease, such as cancer, in people who do not have any symptoms. There has been a lot of research to develop a screening test for ovarian cancer, but there has not been much success so far. The two tests used most often (in addition to a complete pelvic exam) to screen for ovarian cancer are Transvaginal Ultrasound (TVUS) and the CA-125 blood test.

TVUS is a test that uses sound waves to look at the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries by putting an ultrasound wand into the vagina. It can help find a mass (tumor) in the ovary, but it cannot actually tell if a mass is cancer or benign. When it is used for screening, most of the masses found are not cancer.

The CA-125 blood test measures the amount of a protein called CA-125 in the blood. Many women with ovarian cancer have high levels of CA-125. This test can be useful as a tumor marker to help guide treatment in women known to have ovarian cancer because a high level often goes down if treatment is working. But checking CA-125 levels is not as useful as a screening test for ovarian cancer.

Thus, due to the increase in improved diagnostic processes and techniques, it is expected to act as a driving factor for market growth.

RESTRAINTS

High Cost of Diagnosis

Worldwide, the costs of cancer treatment have increased. Health industries are facing several challenges like medical costs for cancer care. The cost of cancer care in 2010 was USD 124.60 billion which was projected to increase to USD 173.00 billion by 2020 with cancer drug prices and acute hospital care as the main drivers. Hence, the increased cost of diagnostic agents production is hampering the market growth.

Lack of Skilled Professionals

Healthcare professionals involved in the diagnostic process have an obligation and ethical responsibility to employ clinical reasoning skills, evaluate, and manage a patient's medical problems. When a diagnosis is accurate and made in a timely manner, a patient has the best opportunity for a positive health outcome because clinical decision-making will be tailored to a correct understanding of the patient's health problem. The lack of skilled professionals may hinder the recovery process of the patient and thus, may hamper the market growth.

OPPORTUNITIES

Increasing Healthcare Expenditure for Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment

Across the globe, R&D activities are escalating owing to public health expenditure with economic performances whereas, the healthcare industry ranks second among all industries when it comes to the amount spent on healthcare. Rising healthcare expenditure can result in better provision of R&D opportunities. It is anticipated to upsurge the demand for ovarian cancer diagnostics.

Increasing healthcare expenditure for cancer treatment also helps patients to take hassle-free advanced diagnostics and treatment for fast recovery. The spending on healthcare is made up of the combination of out-of-pocket payments (people paying for their own care), government expenditure, and sources including health insurance and activities by Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs). Due to this increasing healthcare expenditure for cancer treatment, it acts as an opportunity for market growth.

CHALLENGES

Strict Regulations and Standards for the Approval and Commercialization of Cancer Diagnostic Products                      

The stringent regulations for commercialization of any product in the market are proving to be a big challenge for manufacturers of cancer diagnostic products in the U.S. and European region. Every country has its own regulations and has a different body for regulatory procedures.

The regulatory requirement for approvals of marketing as well as the declaration of conformity and the time required for regulatory review may vary for different products. The company which fails to get regulatory approval harms the business because without getting approval on the products, manufacturers are not able to launch their product in the market and for this reason, strict regulations and standards for the approval and commercialization of cancer diagnostic products act as a restraining factor for market growth.
