HPV and Pap Testing Market

HPV and pap testing are used in detecting HPV infection, are often routine. It is used to diagnose a sexually transmitted disease such as HIV, cervical cancer, etc. HPV and pap testing are important not only to detect current infections but also to detect potential risks for an individual's sexual behavior. This test helps to reduce the risk of spreading infections to sexual partners and to children who may be born and to individuals who may already have such diseases. HPV infection is more common among men who know that they have it.

The prevalence and incidence of cancer around the globe is relatively high and this is a key factor driving the growth of the HPV and Pap testing market. According to the American Cancer Society, cervical cancer is most frequently diagnosed in women between the ages of 35 and 44 with the average age at diagnosis being 50.  More than 20% of cases of cervical cancer are found in women over 65. The cervical cancer death rate dropped significantly with the increased use of the Pap test. Thus, the growing prevalence of cervical cancer is fueling the growth of the HPV and Pap testing market. Pap test is a highly preferred test to detect the cervical cancer which includes the microscopic observation of specimens.

For instance, in August 2018, updated screening guidelines were released by the United States Preventive Services Task Force. Women ages 21 through 29 should be screened with a Pap test in every 3 years. Women ages 30 through 65 should be screened with high-risk HPV testing alone in every 5 years, with Pap and high-risk HPV testing in every 5 years, and a Pap test alone in every 3 years.
