The Asia-Pacific (APAC) region is entering a new era in cancer diagnostics, driven by a pressing public health need and a wave of technological and strategic advancements. According to UnivDatos, the Asia-Pacific cancer diagnostics market in the region is poised to expand at a robust CAGR of ~8%, reaching a market value of USD billion by 2032. With cancer rates climbing and healthcare ecosystems evolving, the spotlight is now on more accurate, timely, and accessible diagnostic solutions.

A Growing Health Challenge: Cancer Incidence on the Rise

The increasing number of cancer cases is placing enormous pressure on healthcare systems across APAC. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that the region accounts for nearly half of all new global cancer diagnoses annually. Among the most commonly detected cancers are lung, breast, stomach, and colorectal cancers.

The World Economic Forum also highlights alarming trends in women’s health—Asia represents 45% of all breast cancer diagnoses and 58% of cervical cancer deaths worldwide. These figures reveal an urgent need to scale up screening, early detection, and treatment planning.

Aging populations, urban pollution, sedentary lifestyles, and poor dietary habits are all contributing to the cancer surge. Consequently, governments and healthcare providers are racing to deploy enhanced diagnostic capabilities that not only detect cancer early but also provide more targeted insights for treatment.

The Power of Technology: AI, Genomics, and Liquid Biopsies

Modern cancer diagnostics in the APAC region are undergoing a transformation thanks to advanced technologies. One standout area is artificial intelligence (AI). In 2024, Roche expanded its open digital pathology platform to incorporate over 20 AI algorithms, enhancing diagnostic precision for cancer research and clinical applications.

Meanwhile, researchers in China have successfully demonstrated a low-cost, paper-based AI diagnostic test that can detect multiple cancers using a drop of dried blood. The tool showed promise for identifying colorectal, gastric, and pancreatic cancers, potentially opening the door to widespread and non-invasive testing.

Genomic testing is another area gaining traction. Precision medicine is becoming central to cancer care, allowing physicians to identify specific genetic mutations and match them with targeted therapies. As a result, genomic sequencing and biomarker analysis are seeing increased adoption across hospitals and labs in countries like China, India, South Korea, and Singapore.

Liquid biopsy, a revolutionary non-invasive testing method, is also changing the landscape. By detecting tumor DNA in the bloodstream, liquid biopsies offer early detection with minimal discomfort to the patient. The technique is especially valuable for diagnosing lung cancer, which remains one of the most fatal cancers in the region. Companies such as Illumina, Qiagen, and Roche are tailoring liquid biopsy solutions for the diverse APAC markets, where access and affordability remain central concerns.

Investment and Regional Collaboration Driving Access

The APAC cancer diagnostics market is also being propelled forward by a surge in investments and strategic alliances. International companies are teaming up with regional healthcare providers to develop locally relevant technologies. For instance, the Sysmex-QIAGEN partnership, expanded in August 2024, focuses on joint efforts in genetic diagnostics spanning R&D to commercial deployment.

China stands out as a hub for diagnostic innovation and investment. Government initiatives like Healthy China 2030 are encouraging both domestic and foreign players to expand diagnostic capabilities, supported by regulatory reforms that promote quicker market access. India is also emerging as a key player, particularly in affordable diagnostics, with local firms developing cost-effective screening tools while foreign companies form partnerships to navigate its vast healthcare market.

The Role of Regulation and Public Policy

Across the APAC region, regulatory reforms are being introduced to foster innovation while maintaining high safety standards. Nations like Japan, Australia, and South Korea have robust approval systems for diagnostic devices. At the same time, countries with developing regulatory frameworks—like China and India—are streamlining their approval timelines to accelerate innovation.

Public health initiatives are complementing these regulatory efforts. National screening programs in countries such as Japan and public education campaigns in China are helping drive awareness and early diagnosis. These efforts are laying the foundation for improved cancer outcomes through prevention and timely intervention.

Looking Ahead: A Region Poised for Leadership

As the Asia-Pacific region confronts rising cancer rates, it is simultaneously building a framework of innovation, investment, and policy support to transform how cancer is detected and managed. With increasing adoption of AI, genomics, and liquid biopsy technologies, and strong governmental support, the region is not just catching up—it’s positioning itself to lead the global cancer diagnostics market.

In conclusion, APAC’s cancer diagnostics sector is at a pivotal point. With strategic alliances, advanced technology, and forward-thinking health policies in place, the region is set to make early, personalized, and accessible cancer diagnosis a standard part of care. The path forward may be challenging, but it’s clear that the tools and determination for transformation are already in motion.
