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.
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 per cent 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 programmes, 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.
