The cell free dna (cfdna) testing market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The cell free DNA (cfDNA) testing market has experienced exponential growth in recent years. It is expected to rise from $8.74 billion in 2024 to $10.86 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24.2%.
The historical growth is attributed to the rising adoption of cfDNA testing in prenatal care, increased use of cfDNA analysis, growing interest in cfDNA research across various medical fields, and the gaining approval of cfDNA tests by regulatory bodies.
The cell free dna (cfdna) testing market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The cell-free DNA (cfDNA) testing market is expected to reach $25.56 billion by 2029 at a CAGR of 23.9%.
The growth is driven by personalized medicine, better healthcare infrastructure, an aging population, the rise in cancer cases, and the growing acceptance of liquid biopsy techniques. Trends include liquid biopsy adoption, Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) advancements, AI and machine learning in testing, point-of-care cfDNA tests, and cloud-based platforms.
The increasing prevalence of cancer is expected to propel the growth of the cell-free DNA (cfDNA) testing market. Cancer's rising prevalence is due to aging populations, environmental factors, and lifestyle changes. cfDNA testing helps detect genetic mutations linked to cancer early, allowing for early intervention and improved patient outcomes. For instance, in February 2024, the World Health Organization projected a 77% increase in cancer cases from 20 million in 2022 to 35 million in 2050. The growing cancer prevalence will fuel the demand for cfDNA testing.

Companies in the cell-free DNA (cfDNA) testing market are focusing on developing innovative technologies, such as liquid biopsy tests, which offer enhanced sensitivity, specificity, and efficiency in detecting cancer-related mutations and genetic alterations. Liquid biopsy tests enable oncologists to analyze circulating cfDNA released by tumor cells, helping in the creation of personalized therapy plans. For example, in May 2023, Labcorp, a US-based life sciences company, launched Labcorp Plasma Focus, a new liquid biopsy test for patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. This test is minimally invasive, uses a standard blood draw, and provides rapid results to identify clinically actionable biomarkers in various cancers, including lung, colorectal, breast, and melanoma.
