Global HPV Testing and Pap Test Market by Test Type, Application, and End User - Forecast to 2021
The Pap test
(or Pap smear) looks for precancers, which are cell changes on the cervix that
can progress to cervical cancer if not treated properly. The HPV test looks for
the virus (human papillomavirus) that is responsible for these cell changes.
From USD 3.29 billion in 2015 to USD 4.52 billion in 2020, the global HPV testing and Pap testing market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.6 percent from 2015 to 2020. Cervical cancer is the second most common type of cancer in women, trailing only breast cancer in terms of prevalence. The global HPV testing and Pap test market was worth USD 1.7 billion in 2020 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.4 percent between 2021 and 2028. Some of the major factors driving the market for HPV testing and Pap tests are technological advancements, an increase in the number of cervical cancer screening programs, and the high incidence of cervical cancer. The primary cause of cervical cancer has been clinically proven to be HPV, a sexually transmitted virus. HPV is responsible for approximately 90% of all anal and cervical cancers, as well as 70% of vaginal and vulvar cancers. Pap tests are the most commonly used tests for detecting cervical cancer. Microscopic examination of specimens is one of these tests. These tests, however, are unable to detect all of the genotypes that cause HPV infections and may result in a significant number of false-negative results.
