Digital Pathology Market Overview
Digital Pathology helps improve lab efficiency by reducing costs, decreasing turnaround times, and providing users with access to subject-matter expertise. Improvements in lab efficiency are critical as patients and physicians are hooked to lab results for diagnostic decisions, and diagnostic tests are required to be completed and reported quickly and accurately. At a predicted CAGR of 12.6% over the projection period, the global market for Digital Pathology is expected to increase from $892.5 million in 2022 to $2,045.9 million in 2029.
Moreover, access to digital slides via web services eliminates shipping costs and pathologists’ time period. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has led to the implementation of lockdowns and social distancing restrictions. Such restrictions have increased the demand for digital pathology solutions, as these are often employed by pathologists to remotely view diagnostic results for primary diagnosis. So as to achieve a competitive edge and deliver quick services, an outsized number of pathologists and pathology labs are adopting digital pathology.
Although large hospitals with significant capital budgets can afford these systems, pathologists and academic institutes with limited budgets or IT support often cannot afford them. The high cost of those systems, including a scarcity of skilled personnel to work digital pathology systems, is predicted to limit the adoption of those systems.
Covid-19 Impact on Digital Pathology Market:
In addition, the current Global Market study offers a detailed analysis of the current COVID-19 pandemic's impact on market growth and its influence on the future growth of the Global Market. The recently published report demonstrates the elevation in the demand for the healthcare sector. The healthcare manufacturers have experienced long-term as well as short-term effect which includes supply shortages, panic buying, and stocking, and regulation changes as short-term whereas approval delays and possible trend variations in consumption could be perceived as long-term impacts of COVID-19 on the health and pharmaceutical market.
The increasing need for a cure has pushed vaccine research and manufacturers to the limit. In addition to this, panic conditions have already spurred the demand for many healthcare products and services which are discussed in detail in this report. Moreover, the impact of COVID-19 on overall market revenue for the base year 2022 and its projection up to 2029 is provided in detail in this report.
Digital Pathology Market Segment Overview
By product, the digital pathology market is segmented into scanners, software, communication systems, and storage systems. The scanners segment accounted for the biggest share of the worldwide digital pathology market in 2023. The massive share of this segment is often attributed to the increasing adoption of digital pathology solutions across the world.
By end-users, the worldwide digital pathology market is broadly segmented into pharmaceutical & biotechnology companies, hospitals and reference laboratories, and academic & research institutes. The pharmaceutical & biotechnology companies segment accounted for the most important share of the worldwide digital pathology market in 2023. The massive share of this segment is often attributed to the increasing use of digital pathology for drug discovery studies and drug toxicology testing.
By application, the digital pathology market is segmented into drug discovery, disease diagnosis, teleconsultation, and training & education. The drug discovery segment accounted for the most important share of the worldwide digital pathology market, by application, in 2023. The massive share of this segment is often attributed to the expansion in R&D expenditure, fuelled by the necessity for varied preclinical and clinical studies performed during the drug discovery and development process.
