Market Overview:

Wilms tumor, also known as nephroblastoma, is a type of childhood cancer that develops in the kidneys. It begins in the embryonic tissue that gives rise to the kidneys. Wilms tumor protein (WT1) plays an important role in the development of kidneys and urogenital systems. It is one of the most commonly used markers to detect Wilms tumor. WT1 assays help in diagnosing Wilms tumor at early stages and aid in surveillance for recurrence following therapy. They provide clinically significant information that impacts patient management decisions.

The global Wilms Tumor Protein Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 2.92 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 4.6% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market key trends:

Rising incidence of Wilms tumor especially among children is driving the demand for WT1 assays. According to the American Childhood Cancer Organization estimates, every year around 600 children in the US are diagnosed with Wilms tumor. Early and accurate detection of WT1 improves treatment outcomes and prognosis. Technological advancements are enabling development of sensitive, high-throughput WT1 detection kits. For instance, Thermo Fisher Scientific offers WT1 mRNA qPCR assays which can quantify WT1 gene expression levels with high sensitivity. Increasing adoption of biomarker-based diagnostics for accurate cancer detection is expected to boost the Wilms tumor protein market over the forecast period.
