The prostate cancer diagnostics market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
•In recent times, the market size for prostate cancer diagnoses has seen a swift expansion. It's predicted to rise from a value of $4.43 billion recorded in 2024 to a projected $5.03 billion in 2025, demonstrating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.6%.
Factors contributing to the growth during the historic period include the rise in the elderly population, enhancements in medical imaging technology, increased awareness and screening initiatives, public health strategies, and advancements in biopsy methods.
The prostate cancer diagnostics market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market for prostate cancer diagnostics is set to experience expedited expansion in the upcoming years, with predictions estimating a value of $8.17 billion by 2029, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.9%.
The factors contributing to this surge during the predicted period include the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI), the rise of telemedicine in cancer detection, improvements in genomic profiling, focus on patient-specific approaches, and the use of multiparametric MRI in diagnosis. Key trends forecasted for this period encompass technologies for liquid biopsy, advancements in detecting biomarkers, activities in clinical research and development, integration of digital pathology, and the introduction of multiplex biomarker assays.
The spike in prostate cancer cases is anticipated to bolster the expansion of the prostate cancer diagnostics market. This type of cancer develops in the prostate gland, an organ found in both male and female reproductive systems. The detection of prostate cancer is simplified with the assistance of specialized diagnostics, including tests for prostate-specific antigen (PSA), and the utilization of advanced imaging tools. To illustrate, in January 2023, data from the American Cancer Society (ACS)—a US-based, non-profit entity devoted to eradicating cancer—reported roughly 288,300 fresh instances of prostate cancer and approximately 34,700 deaths caused by the disease in 2023. Thus, the escalating commonness of prostate cancer is projected to drive the expansion of the prostate cancer diagnostics market.

Technological advancements are emerging as a significant trend in the prostate cancer diagnostics market. To maintain their market presence, leading companies in this sector are developing innovative AI-based prostate cancer detection tools. For example, in March 2023, Qritive, a diagnostics tools manufacturer based in Singapore, introduced QAi Prostate. This is a sophisticated AI-assisted tool designed to diagnose prostate cancer for pathologists. It incorporates superior machine learning algorithms that pinpoint the prostatic adenocarcinoma area and examine whole slide images from prostate core needle biopsies. This tool assists pathologists with speedy and precise diagnoses, thereby decreasing the treatment duration.
