Global Cancer Microbiome Market Report and Forecast 2024-2032

Global Cancer Microbiome Market Outlook

The global cancer microbiome market size was valued at USD 267.14 million in 2023, driven by the increasing prevalence of chronic cancers across the globe. The market size is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 19.9% during the forecast period of 2024-2032 to achieve a value of USD 1,368.07 million by 2032.

Cancer Microbiome: Introduction

Microbiome refers to the population of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi, that exist in the human body. Cancer microbiomes, also known as tumor microbiomes, are a group of microorganisms that live in and around cancerous tumors in the human body. These microorganisms can either promote or inhibit tumor growth, depending on their effects on cancer.

The cancer microbiome offers several advantages, including the potential to gain insights into the development and spread of cancer. This understanding could help in devising strategies to prevent cancer progression or metastasis. By identifying specific microbes that either stimulate or hinder tumor growth, targeted therapies could also be developed.

Global Cancer Microbiome Market Analysis

The increasing number of clinical studies to explore the potential of microbiomes in managing responses against cancer treatments are acting as a major trend for the global cancer microbiome market growth in the coming years. For example, a study was published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology studying the microbiomes with advanced biliary tract cancer to observe their response against a new treatment that combines durvalumab with cisplatin and gemcitabine.

The growing demand for personalized medicine worldwide is driving the global market for cancer microbiome further. The increasing number of research and development activities and increasing collaborations between the microbiome industry and academia to utilize the resources and expertise of both are likely to add significant growth to the overall global cancer microbiome market share.

In addition, increasing collaboration between key players and innovative companies to develop transformative advancements is also expected to drive the market growth. For example, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Centre and Federation Bio have partnered to create a synthetic microbial consortium, which aims to expand the number of cancer patients responding to immunotherapy.

Key biotech companies are also raising funds from investors interested in the development of new cancer treatments with the help of microbiome potential. For instance, Enterome, a biotech company, aims to raise USD 108 million for its clinical studies and support clinical trials, including two Phase II studies.

Pragma Bio has also raised a whopping USD 10 million in funding. The startup aims to initiate the first part of a 10-year plan. Pragma is using artificial intelligence to create a statistical model that identifies potential candidates for microbiome investigation. The first area of focus for augmentation is immunotherapy in oncology, which has a close relationship with the microbiome.
