Drivers & Opportunities, Restraints & Threats in North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and
Rest of the World.
IQ4I’s Report Contains 96 market data tables and 118 figures spread through 496
pages and an exhaustive TOC on “Liquid Biopsy Global Market”, [BIOMARKERS
(Circulating Tumor Cells (CTC), Cell-free DNA, Exosomes & Others, APPLICATIONS
(Oncology testing {(Type-Breast Cancer, Colorectal cancer, Lung cancer, ovarian
cancer, prostate cancer, melanoma & others), (Cancer care-Early screening,
companion diagnostics, Prognosis, Recurrence monitoring)}, NIPT, Transplantation
Diagnostics) SAMPLE (Blood, Urine & Others), END-USERS (Hospitals, Academic &

World)]
Liquid biopsy is a minimally invasive technology for detection of molecular biomarkers
without the need for invasive procedures. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs), Circulating free
DNA (cfDNA), exosomes and others (microvesicles & apoptotic bodies) in the blood can help
in diagnosing the disease condition and give clues about which treatments are most likely to
work for that patient. The recent interest in nucleic acids present in blood and urine has
opened up numerous new areas of investigation and new possibilities for molecular
diagnosis. In oncology, tumor-derived genetic changes, epigenetic alterations, and viral
nucleic acids have been found in the plasma or serum of cancer patients. These findings
have important implications for the detection, monitoring, and prognostication of many types
of malignancies. In prenatal diagnosis, the discovery of fetal DNA in maternal plasma and
serum has provided a non-invasive source of fetal genetic material for analysis. This
development has important implications for the realization of non-invasive prenatal diagnosis
and has provided new methods for the monitoring of pregnancy-associated disorders.
Plasma DNA technology has also found recent applications in the fields of organ
transplantation, infectious agent detection and monitoring. Future areas of study include
circulating RNA in plasma and the elucidation of the biology of release, clearance, and
possible functionality of plasma nucleic acids.
According to IQ4I analysis, the liquid biopsy global market was estimated to reach $8,730.4
million by 2024. The factors driving the market are raising incidence of cancer, increasing
preference for blood or urine based liquid biopsy, rising number of late pregnancies,
technological advancements, increasing funding, agreements and collaborations. Whereas,

factor such as high cost of tests with limited reimbursements and regulatory issues are
restraining the market growth.
The liquid biopsy market is divided based on biomarkers, applications, sample, end-users
and geography. The biomarkers market is further segmented into circulating tumor cells
(CTCs), Cell-free DNA and exosomes and other, among them Cell-free DNA commanded
the largest share and circulating tumor cells are project to grow at highest CAGR from 2017
to 2024. The applications market is segmented into oncology testing, prenatal non-invasive
testing and transplantation diagnostics. The oncology testing commanded the largest
revenue of in 2017 and transplantation diagnostics is expected to show highest CAGR
growth. The oncology testing market is further segmented based on type of cancer into lung,
breast, colorectal, ovarian, prostate, melanoma and others. The breast cancer commanded
the largest share in 2017 and lung cancer is expected to grow at double digit CAGR from
2017 to 2024. In segmentation based on cancer care, the application market consists of
early screening, companion diagnostics, prognosis and recurrence monitoring. The
companion diagnostics commanded the largest revenue in 2017 where as recurrence
monitoring is projected to grow at strong double digit CAGR from 2017 to 2024.
The liquid biopsy market by sample source is segmented into blood and urine & others. The
blood based tests commanded largest share of the market in 2017 and is project to maintain
its leading position from 2017 to 2024. The end-user market consist of Hospitals and
academic & research institutes, here hospitals leads the market with revenue in 2017 and
also projected to maintain the position till 2024.
Geographically, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and RoW.
The North America dominates the market with share in 2017 due to rising aging population,
late pregnancies, preference for non-invasive tests where as Asia-Pacific is projected to be
fastest growing market with high CAGR from 2017 to 2024 due to increasing affluence,
awareness and increasing incidence of cancer in the region.
Technological advancements in liquid biopsy are expansion of applications beyond cancer
diagnostics and monitoring to include other conditions such as cardiac health and infectious
diseases and exploring of new sources for liquid biopsy such as miRNA, protein biomarkers
and circulating MRNA. A paper based dip test called has been developed by scientists from
Broad institute of MIT and Harvard, SHERLOCK, that make use of Cas13 CRISPR
associated protein that bind to specific RNA to identify specific targets. This test is expected
to detect tumor DNA in the near future.

Liquid Biopsy Global Market
–Forecast to 2024
The possibility of detection of health condition of an individual based on simple blood test
has ignited imagination of scientific community and a flurry of activity has been unleashed.
The absence of rigorous regulatory requirement as in case of a drug or a medical device
also reduces the time to market for these tests which is attracting private investments. Some
of the recent investments are funding of $40 million to MedGenome Labs Ltd by group of
investors (HDFC, Sequoia, Sofina s.a. Zodiac Capital for expansion of clinical genomic
testing of NIPT, Series C funding of DiaCarta in February 2018, to Support Company’s core
XNA technology and expansion of diagnostic products. Biggest of them all investment of
$900 million in GRAIL, Inc a spinoff of Illumina by Johnson & Johnson and Jeff Bezos of
Amazon for development of ctDNA based tests.
The liquid biopsy market is consolidated and is dominated by players such Myriad Genetics
(U.S.), Exact Sciences (U.S.), LabCorp (U.S.), Natera (U.S.), Roche Diagnostics
(Switzerland) to name a few. Companies in this market are employing both organic
strategies such as new product launches, approvals collaborations and partnerships while
inorganic strategies like acquisition to gain market share. For instance, Launch of Panorama
NIPT from Natera for screening of twin pregnancies, approval for BGI to offer NIFTY test in
Thailand. Inorganic strategy such as acquisition expands product offering or help in gaining
access to new markets. For instance, acquisition of share of GATC Biotech in LifeCodexx by
Eurofins or acquisition of Sequenom by Laboratory Corporation has facilitated these
companies to expand their product offering.
BGI (China), Biocept (U.S.), CareDx (U.S.), Cynvenio (U.S.), Eurofins (LifeCodexx)
(Luxembourg), Exact Sciences (U.S.), Exosome Diagnostics (U.S.), Guardant Health (U.S.),
LabCorp. (U.S.), MDx Health (U.S.), Natera (U.S.) Myriad Genetics (U.S.), Laboratory
Corporation of America Holding (Sequenom) (U.S.), Roche (Switzerland), Immucor (U.S.),
Cynvenio (U.S.) are major companies offering liquid biopsy tests.
