Specimen Retrieval Market Trends
The specimen retrieval industry is experiencing a notable growth, driven by the escalating burden of chronic diseases. This surge is primarily attributed to the rising incidence of chronic conditions such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and gastrointestinal disorders.
- According to the World Health Organization, in 2020, more than 1.9 million new cases of colorectal cancer and more than 930,000 deaths due to colorectal cancer were estimated to have occurred worldwide. Additionally, colorectal cancer predominantly affects older individuals, with the majority of cases occurring in people aged 50 and above. As the global population ages, the prevalence of health issues requiring diagnostic such as cancer diagnostics and therapeutic interventions, including specimen retrieval procedures, will rise surging the adoption of such tissue diagnostics and retrieval systems.
- Moreover, the emphasis on preventive healthcare and early detection of chronic diseases has led to an increase in screening and diagnostic procedures. Specimen retrieval is essential in obtaining samples for various screenings, biopsies, and diagnostic tests, contributing to the early detection and management of chronic conditions.
