MEA HPV Testing And Pap Test Market

MEA HPV Testing and Pap Test Market Size (2022 to 2027)

The size of the HPV Testing and Pap Test Market in Latin America was around USD 0.28 million in 2022. It is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% to reach USD 0.37 million by 2027. It captures 7% of the global market.

Factors that can help limit cervical cancer are prevention and early detection with appropriate treatment. Primary prevention of cervical cancer uses HPV vaccination to prevent women from getting infected with oncogenic HPC, the leading cause of most cervical cancers. Secondary prevention of cervical cancer is done by using cervical screening to identify and treat abnormalities in the precancerous stage. Early detection shows positive outcomes with a longer lifespan, lesser complication, and reduced remission rare. The repetition of the screening test at specified review periods allows excellent accuracy for detecting precancerous growth of the squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix and the uterus. Screening for cervical cancer is an essential part of a woman's routine health care, aged 25 years of age and older, an HPV test is recommended.

The growing number of cervical cancer cases is increasing the demand for screening programs. According to the World Health Organization, more than 285,000 women die from cervical cancer each year. The estimated incidence of cervical cancer was 13.5per 100,000 women worldwide, with an average of 2 to 75 per 100,000 women. Cervical cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among women in East, West, Central, and Southern Africa. Data from Egyptian studies estimate the varying prevalence of invasive cervical cancer lesions ranging from 1% to 8% with an age range of 20 to 60 years. According to data collected from the Egyptian National Cancer Institute, invasive cancerous lesions account for 59.77% of all malignant tumors of the female genital tract. According to the WHO, the incidence of cervical cancer in Saudi Arabia is 2.2 / 100,000 women. These numbers are anticipated to grow over the many years, which will increase the demand for HPV testing and Pap smear tests in the MEA region.

Currently, Conventional tests are replaced with specific HPV DNA tests, which are technologically advanced test kits, like the Capture 2 test, which detects the presence of 13 high-risk types of HPV in the cervical sample. Hence, all of these factors have impacted the overall growth of the MEA HPV testing and Pap test market.

However, factors such as the uncertain changes in regulatory guidelines for cervical cancer screening and awareness and availability of the HPV vaccination are expected to limit the market growth rate. In addition, certain areas in the MEA region will challenge the market due to lack of awareness coupled with inadequate healthcare facilities, especially for female well-being.
