Digital Pathology Market: By Product Type, By Application, By Usage, By End-User and Region Forecast 2019-2030

Digital Pathology Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Global Industry Analysis: By Product Type (Scanners, Software Solution/Application, Communication System, and Storage System), By Application (Research & Academics, Clinical Research & Toxicology, and Clinical (diagnostic, telepathology, etc.), By Usage (Human Pathology and Animal Pathology), By End-User (Hospitals, Reference Labs & Pathologists, Pharmaceutical Companies/CROs, Academic & Research Institutes, and Others (vets, clinics, etc.) and Region Forecast 2019-2030

Digital Pathology Market size was valued at US$ 612.3 million in 2023 and is poised to grow at a CAGR of 12.7% from 2024-2030. Digital pathology is the practice of examining high-resolution digitally scanned histology images, which may subsequently be used with computer tools and algorithms. It is an image-based platform that allows pathology information to be acquired, managed, and interpreted from a digitized glass slide. Primary diagnosis, diagnostic consultation, intraoperative diagnosis, medical student and resident teaching, manual and semi-quantitative immunohistochemistry (IHC) evaluation, clinical research, diagnostic decision assistance, peer review, and tumor boards are all examples of healthcare uses.

After the FDA authorized the first entire slide scanner for use in primary diagnosis in April 2017, the market began to gather traction. Many pathology labs in the U.S. and Europe are switching from glass-based reviews using a microscope, to a computer-based workflow for reviewing digital images. Scanners had a market worth of US$ 387.5 million in 2021, and it is expected to expand at a substantial CAGR between 2022 and 2028. The large share of the scanners segment can be attributed to the high price of scanners, the increasing adoption of digital pathology solutions, increase in R&D activities in the pharmaceutical & medical device industry, rise in demand for diagnosis of diseases, and surge in adoption of digital pathology systems. By Type segment, human pathology holds the market revenue share of 37.8% and it is estimated to grow with a significant CAGR from 2022 to 2028.

Key Developments

  • On Feb 2024, Roche Diagnostics entered into an agreement with the PathAI, leader in the artificial intelligence (AI) for pathology. Under this agreement, Path AI will develop the AI-enabled digital pathology algorithms in the companion diagnostics.
  • In May 2022, Crosscope and Farcast Biosciences joined efforts to reshape the precision oncology landscape via AI-powered pathology.

Digital Pathology Market Dynamics

In the identification of pre-cancer and early cancer, where morphology is harder to interpret, pathologists are required to prepare more slides for each cancer specimen. This adds to the complexity of histopathological assessment, requiring more time from the pathologist. This raises a huge concern in the future regarding an unacceptable increase in turnover time. To avoid these issues, NHS U.K. recommends implementing digital pathology solutions in reference laboratories. NHS proposes that by 2020, 50% of patients referred for cancer testing by a GP will have their definitive diagnosis communicated to them within two weeks and 95% within four weeks.

The rise in cancer prevalence, the demand for accurate diagnostics, the rise in the geriatric population, and rapid technological advancements drive growth in the market. Moreover, the entry of established MedTech players into the market is seen as a validation of the concept that the technology can transform pathology. However, the high cost of digital pathology systems is hampering the market growth. The cost of digital pathology hardware, such as scanners, is significantly capital-intensive for diagnostic laboratories. Introducing low-cost scanners will encourage their adoption among pathologists with low or limited budgets.
