Global Prostate Cancer Antigen 3 (PCA3) Test Market – Industry Trends and Forecast to 2029

 Prostate Cancer Antigen 3 (PCA3) Test Market Analysis and Size

The prostate cancer antigen 3 (PCA3) test looks for genetic material (messenger RNA (mRNA)) produced exclusively by the prostate. In normal prostate tissue, the protein PCA3 and its associated mRNA are present at low levels. PCA3 is found in high concentrations (overexpressed) in approximately 90% of prostate cancers. Prostate specific antigen (PSA) is also increased in prostate cancers, but it can also be increased in a variety of benign conditions. This test detects PCA3 mRNA and PSA mRNA in the first urine sample obtained after a digital rectal exam (DRE). The PCA3 score is reported by laboratories and is based on the ratio of PCA3 mRNA to PSA mRNA.

Prostate Cancer Antigen 3 (PCA3) Test Market Scope and Segmentation  

Market Definition

The prostate cancer antigen 3 gene (PCA3) test is used to assess your risk of developing prostate cancer. It is not used to make a diagnosis of prostate cancer. It is primarily used to determine whether your elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels are the result of prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the prostate gland of men and is increasing at a significant rate each year. This cancer is commonly found in the elderly population, and it can have serious consequences such as blood in the sperm, bone pain, and erectile dysfunction, among others. As a result, early detection is required to avoid it at an early stage.

Global Prostate Cancer Antigen 3 (PCA3) Test Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Surging demand for early and precise diagnosis of prostate cancer 

An increase in PSA levels raises the risk of prostate cancer. PSA concentrations in the blood are measured in nanograms per millilitre (ng/mL). There is no clear cut-off point for determining whether a man has prostate cancer or not. Many doctors use a PSA cut-off of 4 ng/mL or higher when determining whether a man requires further testing, while others may be starting at a lower level, such as 2.5 or 3. As a result, measuring PSA levels in a man's blood can help detect prostate cancer early. These are the certain factors which propel the growth of the market.

• Increasing demand for positron emission tomography

Positron emission tomography is increasingly being used as a diagnostic tool because it is more accurate than other diagnostic techniques. The accuracy of diagnosis has a direct impact on decision-making and treatment monitoring processes. Increasing demand for these diagnostic procedures is expected to drive the growth of the prostate cancer antigen 3 (PCA3) test market during the forecast period.

Opportunities

• Government initiatives will improve the growth rate

Increasing government initiatives for technological advancement to improve diagnosis, as well as an increase in the number of new entrants to invest in the market, are expected to drive market growth. Gregor Diagnostics, for example, recently invested USD 900000 to support its effort to develop home screening tests. Furthermore, the increasing demand for early detection and a better diagnostic system is expected to drive market growth.

Restraints/Challenges

• High cost of prostate cancer treatment will restrain the growth

High cost of prostate cancer nuclear medicine diagnostics and the low adoption rate in emerging and underdeveloped countries will obstruct the market's growth rate. There are health risks, because radiation is a side effect of nuclear medicine, prolonged exposure to it can cause health problems. This is especially true for infants, toddlers, elderly and pregnant women.

Recent developments

• In April 2021, Coractive announced an investment of more than USD 24 million in the construction of a cutting-edge fibre optic production facility in Quebec City, Canada.
• In February 2021, Scientific Bioprocessing launched its Intelligent, Dynamic (ID) Fiber Optic Kit. The kit is a pH and dissolved oxygen sensing solution in one that provides real-time, non-invasive, and highly adaptable data from the smallest cell culture systems. It is the first cell monitoring product capable of sensing culture conditions within organ-on-a-chip systems in a reliable manner; it also provides bioprocessing engineers with novel cell culture sensing opportunities.
• In April 2022, Honeywell announced the addition of a blue-hued fibre to its Spectra Medical Grade (MG) Biofiber portfolio, providing a strong visual aid to distinguish between multiple suture sets in complex surgeries. This allows healthcare professionals to operate more accurately by creating clear colour contrast, which can lead to increased patient safety and comfort.
