Sales Analysis of HVC and Pap tests 2015 to 2021 Vs Market Outlook for 2022 to 2032

The global HPV Testing and Pap Test market expanded at a CAGR of 17.2% from 2015 to 2021. The global market is predicted to surge ahead at a CAGR of 19.3% and record sales worth USD 15 Billion by the end of 2032, registering an absolute dollar opportunity of USD 12 Billion from 2022 to 2032.

Which factors are driving the demand for HVC and Pap Tests?

Cervical cancer is the 4th most common form of cancer amongst women worldwide. In 2020, there were an estimated 604,000 new cases and 342,000 related deaths. Cervical cancer is most treatable and curable if vaccinations are effective and the cancer is detected at an early stage and proper treatment is given promptly.

If detected at an early stage, the 5-year survival rate is very high at around 92%. Even cancers at later stages can be managed with proper treatment and care. The global strategy for cervical cancer elimination, endorsed by the WHO in 2020, aims for 70% of women globally to have undergone testing at regular intervals by 2030.

The policy is based on the idea that implementing this, along with other policies regarding treatment and vaccination could eliminate cervical cancer deaths in a century. According to the WHO, this could prevent around 62 million deaths.

Pap testing, which tests for cell changes that could potentially be or become cervical cancer, and HPV testing, which looks for high-risk HPV are globally recommended. In recent years, demand is increasing due to increased awareness, developments in reducing costs, and government policies and programs.

How have government policies and drives affected the HPV Testing and Pap Test market?

There have been a number of government programs and policies that are boosting the global demand for testing. In the USA, the CDC recommends a Pap test or cytology test once every 3 years for 21-29-year-olds and a pap test every 3 years or an HPV test every 5 years, or a cotest of both Pap and HPV tests every 5 years for those over 30 years.

In China, the All-China Women's Federation and the Ministry of Health launched a dual program for screening cervical and breast cancer in rural women, at 3-year intervals. In Japan, the National Cancer Center recommends screening every 2 years. 

Most cities offer free or subsidized options for women of eligible age groups. In South Korea, which has a single-payer public health insurance system, eligible women over 20 years of age are provided a free screening once every 2 years.

How have new technologies in product type and technological advancements affected the HPV Testing and Pap Test market in low-resource countries?

Nearly 90% of HPV deaths occurring in 2020, occurred in low and middle-income countries; largely owing to the fact that low-resource areas often do not have the ability to provide regular screening. A commonly used method is Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid or VIA testing which involves a health worker applying dilute acetic acid to the cervix and inspecting it for visual signs of whitening with the naked eye.

This method is used despite lower accuracy in low-resource areas since it has lower cost-per-test and is convenient. Another developing technology that has the potential to raise demand in low-resource areas is the use of AI in diagnosis. A team of researchers from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and Global Good trained an ML algorithm to use Automated Visual Evaluation (AVE) to analyze images of a cervix and identify changes that could lead to cancer. The images can be taken with even a simple camera. New developments such as training the algorithm with a more global set of images to account for geographic variations are expected to eventually raise demand.

What is the top application of HPV Testing and Pap Tests?

Cervical Cancer Screening is the top application for HPV testing and Pap Testing, with a CAGR of 16.7% from 2015 to 2021. The forecasted CAGR for this category is 18.4% for the period 2022 to 2032.

Neither HPV testing nor the Pap test can detect vaginal cancer on its own, but they do detect cervical cancer and pre-cancerous conditions- which are often precursors to vaginal cancer, and HPV, which increases the risk of developing vaginal cancer.

How is Europe an emerging market for demand?

Europe is an emerging HPV Testing and Pap Test market for HPV and Pap tests. According to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control or the ECDC, 2.5% of all cancers in Europe are caused by HPV, and Cervical cancer is the second most common type of cancer in women of the 15 to 55 age group, after only breast cancer.

Awareness drives and official programs are driving demand. For example, in the United Kingdom, the NHS provides free tests to women every 3 years if in the 25 to 29 age category and every 5 years to women over 50 years of age. The program uses an initial HPV test and an additional Pap Test for cells that test positive.

Why are Pap Tests the key contributors to revenue?

PAP tests are the largest contributor to HPV Testing and Pap Test market revenue, having witnessed a CAGR of 16.8% with a forecasted CAGR of 17.5% for the next decade. Their use has led to a significant decrease in Cervical Cancer deaths. However, new WHO guidelines shift to the HPV DNA-based test as preferred over the currently prevalent VIA or Pap Tests.

Despite this, Pap tests, which are the historical method in use, are still useful and common. There are concerns that additional HPV testing would mean an increase in invasive procedures. A combination of both tests is now recommended, with healthcare providers and global programs choosing whether to administer one of the two or both depending on patient age, history, and availability of resources.

Competitive Landscape

HPV Testing and Pap Test providers are focused on increasing the efficiency, accuracy, and affordability of their tests and harnessing new technology.

  • In May 2022, Alercell, Inc, a molecular diagnostics company and provider of diagnostics announced its HPV DNA-based test kit: Meltpro HPV genotype test. It is based on DNA sequencing analysis. The use of a PCR machine eliminates the risk of human interpretation and provides faster results, taking under three hours.
  • In June 2022, Operating in the oncology healthcare sector, Karkinos Healthcare developed CerviRaksha, a clinically validated HPV test, pre-qualified and approved by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It was also granted the CE mark and bears the CE mark. Samples are collected at home and results are provided by email. The HPV-16 and HPV-18 genotypes are distinguished individually, and false positives are filtered.
  • In May 2022, The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and the University of Manchester, and the University of Hull will collaborate to test for cervical cancer in women of the 65-and-older age group, who are often overlooked despite accounting for over 50% of cervical cancer incidents in the United Kingdom. This test will also only require a urine sample, which might encourage women who were opting out of the test to take part.
