The global Digital Pathology Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 884.4 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 12% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Digital pathology uses digital imaging tools to analyze and interpret pathology slides at electronic device monitors without the use of traditional glass microscope slides. This enables remote collaboration in diagnosis and consultation. Advantages include improved workflow and efficiency.
Market key trends:
One of the key trends driving the market growth is the rise of telepathology with the COVID-19 pandemic. The need for virtual collaborative diagnosis increased significantly during the pandemic-related restrictions. Telepathology allows sharing whole slide images over networks enabling remote diagnosis, consultation, teaching and quality assurance. This has boosted adoption of digital pathology solutions globally during the pandemic. Many healthcare systems are anticipated to continue using telepathology even post pandemic for improved accessibility in diagnosis.
Segment Analysis
The Digital Pathology Market Size is segmented based on product, type of pathology, end user and geography. Based on product, the market is divided into scanners, software, communication systems and storage systems. Scanners are dominating the segment currently and are expected to continue their dominance over the forecast period. The dominating position of scanners can be attributed to their rising adoption for scanning tissue samples so they can be digitized and examined on a computer monitor.
Key Takeaways
The global digital pathology market is expected to witness high growth, exhibiting CAGR of 12% over the forecast period, due to increasing adoption of digital pathology for cancer research as well as overcoming limitations of conventional microscopy.
