Global HER2-Positive Gastric Cancer Market - Key Trends & Drivers Summarized

How Is HER2 Positivity Changing the Landscape of Gastric Cancer Diagnosis?

HER2-positive gastric cancer refers to a subset of gastric and gastroesophageal junction cancers that exhibit overexpression of the HER2 (Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2) protein. While HER2 is more commonly associated with breast cancer, its role in gastric cancer is gaining recognition due to its predictive value for targeted therapy. Accurate diagnosis of HER2 status is now a key step in stratifying patients and guiding treatment regimens, particularly in advanced or metastatic cases.

Testing for HER2 positivity is conducted using immunohistochemistry (IHC) and confirmed with in situ hybridization (ISH) techniques. Global oncology guidelines recommend HER2 testing in newly diagnosed advanced gastric cancer patients to determine eligibility for HER2-targeted therapy. This has led to increasing integration of molecular profiling into clinical practice, with an emphasis on precision diagnostics to personalize treatment strategies and improve prognosis.

What Targeted Therapies Are Being Used or Developed for HER2-Positive Gastric Cancer?

Trastuzumab is the most established targeted therapy used for treating HER2-positive gastric cancer. Administered in combination with chemotherapy, it has shown improved survival outcomes in patients with HER2 overexpression. Following its approval for gastric cancer, the scope of HER2-targeted treatments has expanded, with newer agents under investigation including antibody-drug conjugates, bispecific antibodies, and tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

Advanced biologics such as trastuzumab deruxtecan are being tested in patients who are resistant to first-line therapies, showing promise in clinical trials for improved efficacy. Combination therapies that integrate immunotherapy with HER2-targeted drugs are also under evaluation. These innovations reflect a growing pipeline of personalized treatments tailored to HER2 expression profiles and tumor characteristics in gastric cancers.

Where Is Demand for Testing and Treatment Growing, and Who Are the Key Stakeholders?

Adoption of HER2 testing and targeted therapy is growing across oncology centers, academic hospitals, and diagnostic laboratories. Demand is strongest in regions with high gastric cancer incidence, such as East Asia, parts of Eastern Europe, and Latin America. Japan, South Korea, and China represent major diagnostic and therapeutic markets due to well-developed cancer care systems and high testing penetration.

Stakeholders include oncologists, pathology laboratories, pharmaceutical companies, and diagnostic assay developers. Collaborations between diagnostic firms and drug manufacturers are supporting the development of companion diagnostics and therapy-linked assays. National cancer control programs and public health initiatives are further encouraging HER2 screening as part of broader efforts to improve cancer survival rates through biomarker-driven treatment models.

What Is Driving Growth in the HER2-Positive Gastric Cancer Market?

Growth in the HER2-positive gastric cancer market is driven by several factors including rising incidence of gastric cancer, increasing use of biomarker-based treatment planning, and expanding access to HER2-targeted therapies. Advances in diagnostic precision, including improved antibody-based tests and automated pathology workflows, are supporting accurate HER2 identification.

End-use expansion in oncology treatment centers, diagnostic labs, and personalized drug development programs is strengthening market adoption. Pipeline growth of HER2-directed biologics, extended indications of existing drugs, and supportive clinical guidelines are reinforcing therapeutic relevance. As personalized oncology continues to evolve, HER2 testing and therapy are expected to play a central role in managing a biologically distinct segment of gastric cancer patients.
