Histology And Cytology Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Global Industry Analysis: By Product (Instruments, Consumable and Reagents, and Software and Services), By Test Type (Microscopy Tests, Cytogenic tests, Polymerase Chain Reaction, Molecular genetics tests, Flow cytometry, and Others),  By Application (Drug Discovery & Designing, Cancer Diagnostics, Clinical Diagnostics, Research, and Others), By End User (Hospitals, Diagnostic Laboratories, Academic & Research Institutes, and Others) and Region  

Histology And Cytology Market size was valued at US$ 16,253.0 million in 2023 and poised to grow  at a 13.6% CAGR from 2024 to 2030. Histology and cytology are different branches of pathology especially the structure of the tissues (histology) and cells (cytology) of animals and plants at the microscopic level. Technically, histology is the study of the macro-cellular cluster of cells that make up animal and plant tissues, and cytology refers to the study of one type of cell. The two terms in some contexts, however, are used interchangeably, and cytology in medical terminology is also used to refer to cells used in pathology which can be easily removed from the body for microscopic examination. Increasing demand for the detection of cell and tissue characteristics and increasing prevalence of various types of cancers and chronic diseases are major factors expected to boost the histology and cytology market growth in the forecast period (2022-2028).

For instance, according to World Health Organization, cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for nearly 10 million deaths in 2020, or nearly one in six deaths and the most common cancers are breast, lung, colon and rectum, and prostate cancers. The global key companies are continuously merging, launching new and advanced technology which will further drive the histology and cytology market growth. Moreover, the rising popularity of immunohistochemistry, growing demand for In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) labeled systems, and the increasing number of pathological laboratories will maintain the global histology and cytology market trend. However, the stringent government regulations and policies are the factors that are expected to hinder the growth of the global histology and cytology market. On the basis of geography, the global histology and cytology market is segmented into various regions. North America held the major market share in the global histology and cytology market and is expected to dominate the market in the forecasted years.
