Market Drivers

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers in the UK, so there is lots of evidence looking at what can cause it to develop.Previous researchhas shown that regardless of age, overweight and obesity, a diet low in fibre and high in processed and red meat, drinking alcohol and not being active can all increase the risk of bowel cancer. The rise in pipeline colorectal cancer screening tests is one of the major drivers for the colorectal cancer market. In UK, screening colonoscopy with full insurance reimbursement is available for individuals aged 55 and above, and/or for persons with well-known risk factors for CRC.

Furthermore, the companies are focusing more on the development of new diagnostic tests that will help in the accurate detection of colorectal cancer which will further drive the market in future.
