Global HPV Testing Market 2016-2020

Overview of the global HPV testing market

The global human papillomavirus (HPV) testing market is anticipated to grow rapidly and will post a CAGR of more than 16% during the forecast period. The increasing trend of early detection to prevent the growing prevalence of cervical cancer will drive the growth prospects for the global HPV testing market until the end of 2020. The increasing adoption of HPV tests among women will enable the early detection of high-risk HPV genotypes such as HPV 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, and others. Also, since the government has released guidelines in various countries recommending women aged 26-65 years to undergo HPV testing for the early detection of cervical cancer, the adoption of HPV testing is increasing. Some of the countries who have benefitted from early detection due to government regulations include regions such as Americas, EMEA, and APAC. Since the Affordable Care Act in the US has increased the adoption of HPV testing, around 75% of women have undergone early diagnosis. Similarly, the government initiatives in Germany to invite women aged between 20 and 60 in 2018 will drive the adoption rate of the testing kit. Furthermore, the changes made in National Cervical Screening Program of 2016 in New Zealand, APAC, to include women aged between 20 to 25 years will boost awareness about cervical cancer among women.

In terms of geography, the Americas accounted for the maximum market share during 2015 and will continue to dominate the market for the next few years. One of the major factors responsible for the market’s growth in North America is the growing number of cervical cancer patients, which accounts for more than 13,000 cases each year. Also, the government initiatives in various countries such as the US, Canada, and Brazil, the awareness and adoption of HPV testing is increasing. Furthermore, the increasing government funding will also drive the market’s growth in the region.
