Global Fecal Occult Testing Market Expected to Reach USD 3.89 Billion by 2031 as Colorectal Cancer Screening Expands Worldwide
[London, 5th, June 2025] – Clearview Market Insights (CVMI) forecasts that the global fecal occult testing (FOBT) market will grow from USD 1.93 billion in 2024 to USD 3.89 billion by 2031, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.7 percent. This growth is driven by national colorectal cancer screening initiatives, the rising disease burden, and the increased adoption of fecal immunochemical tests (FIT).
"FOBT remains a cornerstone of non-invasive cancer screening, especially in population health programs. With innovations in home testing and automated analyzers, patient access and diagnostic efficiency are improving rapidly," said Dr. Elena Moretti, diagnostics analyst at CVMI.
