순환종양세포(CTC) 시장 : 산업 규모, 점유율, 동향, 기회, 예측, 제품별, 기술별, 지역별, 경쟁별(2020-2030년)

Global circulating tumor cells (CTCs) market was valued at USD 6.96 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 10.63 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.52% during the forecast period. The market is experiencing substantial growth, fueled by increasing demand for early cancer detection, the expanding adoption of personalized medicine, and significant advancements in liquid biopsy technologies.

Circulating tumor cells-cancerous cells that detach from primary tumors and enter the bloodstream-serve as crucial biomarkers for assessing cancer progression and the risk of metastasis. The ability to detect and analyze CTCs has reshaped cancer diagnostics and treatment monitoring, positioning these technologies as central tools in the evolving landscape of oncology.

Key Market Drivers

Expansion of the Global Healthcare Industry

The expansion of the global healthcare industry is playing a pivotal role in propelling the CTCs market forward. In response to the growing global cancer burden, institutions like the World Health Organization (WHO) have introduced initiatives such as the Guide to Cancer Early Diagnosis, which promotes timely detection and improved access to cancer care.

Healthcare systems are increasingly embracing precision medicine and early detection strategies to improve patient outcomes and reduce long-term treatment costs. CTCs offer a non-invasive and dynamic approach to cancer diagnostics by enabling the real-time tracking of tumor evolution, therapeutic response, and metastatic spread. Their ability to reveal the molecular characteristics of tumors makes them indispensable tools for guiding targeted therapy development and implementation.

The global rise in cancer prevalence further intensifies the need for efficient diagnostic tools. CTC-based technologies provide actionable insights that support the development of individualized treatment plans, making them a key component in the global push toward more precise and effective cancer care.

Key Market Challenges

High Costs Associated with CTC-Based Technologies

Despite their clinical benefits, CTC-based diagnostic technologies face challenges related to high implementation costs. Isolating and identifying circulating tumor cells-present in extremely low concentrations in the bloodstream-requires advanced equipment, including microfluidic devices, high-resolution imaging platforms, and sensitive molecular analysis tools. These systems are not only expensive to develop but also to deploy and maintain, making widespread clinical adoption difficult, particularly in cost-sensitive or resource-constrained healthcare environments. Beyond the cost of testing, substantial research and development (R&D) investments are needed to improve sensitivity, accuracy, and scalability of these technologies.

Key Market Trends

Rising Adoption of Non-Invasive Diagnostic Solutions

An increasing shift toward non-invasive diagnostics represents a significant trend shaping the global CTCs market. As healthcare providers and patients seek safer, faster, and more convenient alternatives to traditional biopsies, liquid biopsy solutions based on CTC detection are gaining momentum.

Liquid biopsy, enabled by a simple blood draw, allows for repeated, real-time monitoring of tumor dynamics without the discomfort or risks associated with tissue biopsies. This has led to the development and approval of tests such as the CellSearch Circulating Tumor Cell (CTC) Test, which is FDA-approved for assessing prognosis in patients with metastatic breast, prostate, or colorectal cancers. A low CTC count is associated with a more favorable outlook, while a high count may signal disease progression.

As this technology matures, liquid biopsy is becoming a cornerstone of precision oncology, offering dynamic insights into treatment effectiveness, disease progression, and early recurrence-all without disrupting patient comfort. This trend is fundamentally transforming how cancer is diagnosed and managed, driving the demand for innovative, non-invasive CTC-based diagnostics across global markets.
