Global Digital Pathology Market Expected To Grow At 11% CAGR To Reach $1.54 Bn By 2030

The Global Digital Pathology Market is estimated to reach $1.54 billion by 2030 growing with a CAGR of 11% from 2020-2030. In the field of pathology, digitalization and automation have the potential to significantly improve outcomes for patients, physicians, pathologists, and labs/hospitals.

Consider the following startling facts:

• 97% of departments don’t have enough histopathologists for the workload, and that workload is rising
• 19 hours/day are spent on physical slide logistics (reported in a laboratory with 220 cases/day)
• An estimated 98% of pathologists are relying on manual workflows and microscopes for primary diagnosis, which can cause delays and inefficiencies, and create barriers to remote collaboration

Digital Pathology has been around for many years but the current Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted the advantages that digital pathology may provide for laboratories, hospitals, clinicians, and pathologists.

The benefits are multi-fold:

• Improves efficiency workflow
• Faster turnaround time leading to benefits for labs, patients & clinicians
• Pathologists can focus their time on reading of images
• Possibility to tap into wider expertise to improve accuracy of diagnosis
• Improves work satisfaction for pathologists
• With AI/ML, can aid in improving accuracy of diagnosis

These advantages, along with a favorable regulatory environment and reimbursement, are anticipated to fuel the digital pathology market expansion.

In a current article, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center highlighted the benefits of digital workflow in pathology and how it helped them immensely during the pandemic – “We were motivated by a real concern for our doctors,” Dr. Matthew Hanna, Director of Pathology Informatics says. “Finding a way for them to work at home has eliminated a huge burden during the pandemic.”

Scanners, software, AI/ML applications, and the key emerging players & technologies in each of the segments are all thoroughly examined in the study.

Companies that aim to capture greater share in this high-growth market need to focus on:

• Understanding key customer pain points and unmet needs with current scanners, software
• Keeping abreast of latest developments in AI/ML technologies that aim to revolutionize the way pathology diagnosis is done
• Be aware of the challenges including regulatory pathways, reimbursement and develop strategies to overcome these challenges
