根據 Stratistics MRC 的數據,預計到 2026 年,全球伴侶動物癌症篩檢市場規模將達到 6 億美元,並在預測期內以 13.0% 的複合年成長率成長,到 2034 年將達到 16 億美元。
伴侶動物癌症篩檢是指系統性地運用診斷測試和評估方法,在寵物(主要是犬貓)出現臨床症狀之前,檢測出癌症或癌前病變。這包括評估生物檢體、影像學結果、基因標記和其他健康指標,以確定是否有惡性疾病、風險或處於早期階段。伴侶動物癌症篩檢的目標是實現早期診斷,支持及時治療性介入,並改善寵物的整體健康和生活品質。
伴侶動物癌症發生率上升
伴侶動物(尤其是犬貓)癌症發生率的不斷上升,推動了獸醫腫瘤學領域對先進篩檢技術的持續需求。流行病學研究估計,四分之一的犬隻在一生中會患有某種腫瘤性疾病,這意味著需要篩檢的動物數量龐大且持續不斷。獸醫學的進步延長了伴侶動物的壽命,但也增加了老年動物罹患腫瘤性疾病的風險。針對飼主主人的獸醫健康意識宣傳活動正在推動將定期癌症篩檢納入預防保健,從而提高了篩檢頻率,不再局限於出現症狀後才進行篩檢。
保險報銷限額有限
寵物保險政策中缺乏伴侶動物癌症篩檢的標準化報銷框架,大大限制了這些檢測的普及率。大多數寵物保險計劃將晚期癌症診斷歸類為“可選項目”,從而限制了報銷範圍。全面的基因組檢測和液態生物檢體項目的自付費用從數百美元到數千美元不等,這給擔心費用的寵物飼主造成了經濟障礙。當獸醫建議對無症狀動物篩檢時,由於即時無法看到明顯的臨床效益,往往會遭到寵物飼主的抵制。因此,證明其成本效益是擴大保險覆蓋範圍的先決條件。
液態生物檢體的商業化
獸醫液態生物檢體平台的商業化為伴侶動物癌症篩檢的廣泛應用帶來了突破性的機會。基於血液的循環腫瘤DNA檢測無需進行侵入性組織取樣,顯著降低了獸醫和飼主進行檢測的門檻。 PetDx的「OncoK9」平台已通過概念驗證(PoC)實現了僅需單次血液樣本即可早期檢測犬類多種癌症。定序成本的降低和生物資訊分析工具的改進正在提高循環DNA檢測的靈敏度和特異性。 PetDx在獸醫液態生物檢體領域的先鋒地位為其在這個快速商業化但仍處於早期發展階段的領域提供了永續的競爭優勢。
監管管道的不確定性
針對伴侶動物體外診斷醫療設備的監管環境不斷變化,這給開發篩檢篩檢測試的公司帶來了商業化風險。美國食品藥物管理局(FDA) 和國際監管機構尚未針對獸醫領域的伴侶動物癌症篩檢測試制定明確的核准流程。缺乏標準化的分析驗證要求,給尋求進入監管市場的製造商帶來了不確定性。不同驗證調查方法的競爭平台的存在,也使得比較證據的取得變得更加複雜。法規核准的延遲可能會使產品上市時間延長數年,從而限制早期診斷公司研發投資的回報。
新冠疫情期間,由於動物醫院優先處理急診病例,並減少了選擇性診斷程序,獸醫腫瘤服務受到衝擊。實驗室也面臨專業分子診斷劑短缺的問題。然而,疫情期間寵物領養數量的激增導致伴侶動物總數永久性增加,擴大了長期檢查室的基數。隨著疫情後的復甦,就診量下降,先前被延後的診斷需求也逐漸顯現。疫情期間,寵物飼主對寵物投入的情感也顯著增加,這從根本上提高了他們對高預防性篩檢的投入意願。
在預測期內,液態生物檢體領域預計將佔據最大的市場佔有率。
由於其非侵入性的檢體採集能力以及僅需一份血液樣本即可早期檢測多種癌症的能力,液態生物檢體預計將在預測期內佔據最大的市場佔有率。液態生物檢體平台作為一種第一線篩檢工具,正迅速受到獸醫腫瘤學家的青睞,因為它避免了麻醉和組織取樣相關的風險。在臨床症狀出現之前檢測循環腫瘤DNA的能力,與獸醫專業組織日益倡導的預防醫學理念不謀而合。 PetDx和VolitionRx Limited的商業平台正在建立臨床有效的資料庫,這將加速液體活體組織切片技術在醫療機構中的應用。
預計在預測期內,淋巴瘤細分市場將呈現最高的複合年成長率。
在預測期內,淋巴瘤細分市場預計將呈現最高的成長率,這主要受犬貓淋巴瘤發病率上升以及人們對早期癌症檢測日益重視的推動。寵物飼主對癌症症狀和預防保健意識的提高,促進了篩檢檢測的普及。液態生物檢體技術、分子診斷和獸醫腫瘤學的進步提高了診斷的準確性。此外,寵物就診量的增加以及獲得專業癌症治療服務的管道擴大,預計也將加速該細分市場的成長。
在預測期內,北美預計將佔據最大的市場佔有率,這得益於其獸醫腫瘤專家的高度集中、先進的診斷檢測設施完善的基礎設施以及全球最商業性的寵物保險市場。美國擁有體液切片檢查和基因組檢測領域的先驅企業,例如 PetDx、OncoK9 和 Antech Diagnostics。機構對獸醫學的投資正在推動臨床檢驗研究活動。飼主越來越願意為寵物投入全面的癌症治療,這也促進了先進診斷方法的應用。
在預測期內,亞太地區預計將呈現最高的複合年成長率,這主要得益於日本、韓國、澳洲和中國獸醫腫瘤基礎設施的快速擴張,以及老年寵物飼主對癌症預防篩檢意識的不斷提高。日本和韓國政府資助的獸醫研究舉措已納入伴侶動物腫瘤生物標記研究。澳洲和日本寵物保險普及率的提高,正在增強先進診斷測試的保險報銷機制。該地區不斷擴大的專科獸醫醫院網路,也帶動了對參考實驗室癌症篩檢服務的機構需求。
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Companion Animal Cancer Screening Market is accounted for $0.6 billion in 2026 and is expected to reach $1.6 billion by 2034 growing at a CAGR of 13.0% during the forecast period. Companion Animal Cancer Screening refers to the systematic use of diagnostic tests and assessment methods to detect cancer or precancerous conditions in pets, primarily dogs and cats, before clinical symptoms become evident. It involves evaluating biological samples, imaging results, genetic markers, or other health indicators to identify the presence, risk, or early development of malignant diseases. The objective of companion animal cancer screening is to enable earlier diagnosis, support timely therapeutic intervention, and improve overall health outcomes and quality of life.
Rising companion animal cancer prevalence
The increasing incidence of cancer in companion animals, particularly dogs and cats, is driving sustained demand for advanced screening technologies in veterinary oncology. Epidemiological studies estimate that one in four dogs will develop a neoplastic condition during their lifetime, establishing a substantial and recurring testing population. Advances in veterinary medicine that extend companion animal lifespans have expanded the proportion of aging animals susceptible to oncological conditions. Owner awareness campaigns by veterinary associations are normalizing routine cancer screening as a preventive care component, expanding testing frequency beyond symptomatic presentations.
Limited reimbursement frameworks
The absence of standardized reimbursement frameworks for companion animal cancer screening within pet insurance policies significantly constrains testing adoption rates. Most pet insurance plans categorize advanced oncology diagnostics as elective procedures, limiting reimbursement eligibility. Out-of-pocket costs for comprehensive genomic or liquid biopsy panels range from several hundred to several thousand dollars, creating price sensitivity barriers among cost-conscious pet owners. Veterinary practitioners face client resistance when recommending screening tests for asymptomatic animals where immediate clinical benefit is non-obvious. Establishing cost-effectiveness evidence is a prerequisite for broader insurance coverage inclusion.
Liquid biopsy commercialization
The commercial launch of veterinary liquid biopsy platforms represents a transformative opportunity for companion animal cancer screening adoption. Blood-based circulating tumor DNA tests eliminate the need for invasive tissue sampling, significantly reducing procedure-related barriers for both practitioners and pet owners. PetDx's OncoK9 platform has demonstrated proof-of-concept for multi-cancer early detection in dogs through a single blood draw. Declining sequencing costs and improving bioinformatic analysis tools are expanding the sensitivity and specificity of circulating DNA detection panels. First-mover positioning in veterinary liquid biopsy generates a sustainable competitive advantage in a nascent but rapidly commercializing segment.
Regulatory pathway uncertainties
The evolving regulatory landscape for companion animal in vitro diagnostic devices introduces commercialization risk for cancer screening test developers. The United States Food and Drug Administration and international regulatory bodies have not yet established clear approval pathways specifically for veterinary companion animal cancer screening assays. Absence of standardized analytical validation requirements creates uncertainty for manufacturers seeking regulated market access. Competing platforms with divergent validation methodologies complicate comparative evidence generation. Regulatory delays can extend time-to-market by multiple years, constraining return on research and development investment for early-stage diagnostic companies.
The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted veterinary oncology services as clinics prioritized urgent care and reduced elective diagnostic procedures during lockdown periods. Laboratory supply chains for specialized molecular diagnostic reagents experienced material shortages. However, pandemic-period pet adoption surges permanently enlarged the companion animal population, expanding the long-term testing addressable base. Post-pandemic recovery accelerated veterinary visit frequency backlogs, generating deferred diagnostic demand. Increased owner emotional investment in pandemic-era pets has structurally raised willingness to invest in advanced preventive screening.
The liquid biopsy segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The liquid biopsy segment is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period, due to its non-invasive sampling requirements and capacity for multi-cancer early detection from a single blood draw.
