Digital Pathology Market

Digital Pathology Market Synopsis - 2030

The global digital pathology market was valued at $735.75 million in 2020, and is expected to reach $1791.30 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 9.3% from 2021 to 2030. Digital pathology is a computer-enabled, image-based information platform that helps for the management of information generated from digital slides. Digital pathology technology can aid a research pipeline in two ways. The first one is that the specified file storage and viewing applications may be used to arrange macroscopic images, tissue microarrays, and entire slide images. The second application of digital pathology in research is the development and implementation of image analysis techniques.. .  

Growth of the global digital pathology market is majorly driven by increase in prevalence of cancer; rise in the demand for accurate diagnostics, and development of new digital pathology system by large number of key players. According to report published by Medscape, chronic diseases can be associated to the higher mortality rate. The fundamental cause for the development of advanced diagnostic solutions is the rise prevalence of cardiovascular disorders.. Thus, as the prevalence of chronic and cardiovascular diseases rises, the need for digital pathology systems increases driving the growth of the digital pathology market. 

Rise in geriatric population and rapid technological advancements in digital pathology systems are the factors that fuel the growth of the digital pathology market. According to the National Cancer Statistics in 2020, around 1,806,590 new cases of cancer in the U.S. Therefore, the growing number of cancer cases can be attributed to the rapid increase in geriatric population which is  more prone to cardiac disorders. This  is anticipated to boost the growth of the market. In addition, in February 2019, Neuberg Diagnostics and OptraSCAN Inc., announced the launch of Global TELEPath Network for the pathologist community in UAE, India and South Africa under new joint venture namely Neuberg DIGIPATH. Therefore, development of new technologies in digital pathology system has led to increase the growth of the market.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Digital Pathology Market-

The COVID-19 outbreak is anticipated to have a positive impact to fuel the growth of the global digital pathology market. The Center for Devices and Radiological Health of the U.S. FDA released an enforcement policy for remote digital pathology devices, which are intended for pathologists, clinical laboratories, and drug administration staff. Thus, rise in cases of chronic diseases has increased the usage of digital pathology systems for diagnosis, which is anticipated to drive the digital pathology market during the forecast period.
Thus, new innovations by key players and rise in number of product approvals propel the growth of the market. However, high cost associated with digital pathology systems is expected to hinder the market growth during the forecast period.
