Breast biopsy is a medical procedure during that a sample of breast tissue is removed and sent to a laboratory for testing. The procedure is best suitable for evaluating breast if it has lumps or the portion of it is cancerous. The sample is used by doctors to identify and diagnose abnormalities in the cells that make up breast lumps, other unusual breast changes, or suspicious or concerning findings on a mammogram or ultrasound. Moreover, the risks associated with the breast biopsy include bruising and swelling of the breast, infection or bleeding at the biopsy site, and altered breast appearance.

Market Dynamics

The growing incidence of breast cancer due to changing women's lifestyles is driving the market growth. The increasing number of breast cancer screening programs simultaneously increasing demand for minimally invasive and non-invasive procedures is accelerating the market growth. The growing awareness regarding early detection of breast cancer as well as improved reimbursement scenario is bolstering the market value. Furthermore, emerging economies offer high growth potential, the emergence of liquid biopsy and promising clinical trials, and increasing public-private investments and funding are the factors projected to create potential opportunities over the forecast period from 2020 to 2027.

On the other side, the risk of infections associated with the use of biopsy needles and stringent regulatory approval procedures are projected to hinder the growth during the forecast timeframe from 2020 to 2027.
