Tissue Diagnostics Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Global Industry Analysis: By Product Type (Immunohistochemistry, In Situ Hybridization, Primary & Special Staining, Digital Pathology and Workflow, Anatomic Pathology), By Application (Breast Cancer, Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, Prostate Cancer, Gastric Cancer, Other Cancers), By End-User (Hospitals, Research Laboratories, Pharmaceutical Organizations, Contract Research Organizations (CROs)) and Region Forecast 2019-2030

Tissue diagnostics market size was valued at US$ 19,907.1 million in 2023 and is poised to grow at a significant CAGR of 9.5% from 2024-2030. An increase in the burden of disease among the population leads to a growing number of anatomic pathology tests requests to hospitals and independent laboratories etc. This is expected to boost the market for anatomic pathology services. In order to achieve sustainable development goals, access to high-quality and timely pathology and laboratory services is needed, and certain non-communicable diseases cannot be diagnosed only based on physical examination of clinical pathology. Hence, the number of test requests for anatomical pathology is increasing.

According to the 2016 status report on In Vitro Diagnostic Testing in Medical Practice, the volume of laboratory testing is driven by clinical demand, and 66% of clinical decisions in the U.S. and Germany are based on anatomic pathology testing. Pathology and laboratory medicine comprise a mere 2.3% of the total healthcare spending. Despite this, pathology services are estimated to impact 70% -80% of the healthcare decisions. The pathology industry has started focusing on anatomic pathology due to industry fragmentation, high skilled nature of anatomic pathology services, and substantial historical growth in demand for anatomic pathology services despite payments cuts.

This provides an opportunity for manufacturers of anatomic pathology solutions to invest in the independent pathology laboratories because demand for pathology services. The anatomic pathology segment is expected to contribute the highest revenue share of 75.4 percent in the market in 2020, owing to the vastly increased prevalence of chronic diseases worldwide, where this technology is used chiefly in tissue diagnostics. Moreover, an increasing number of hospitals are providing laboratory outreach programs which are expected to drive the growth of the anatomic pathology market.
