Anatomic Pathology Industry Overview

 

The global anatomic pathology market size was valued at USD 30.16 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7% from 2023 to 2030.

 

The growing adoption of biomarkers in clinical settings allows pathologists to gain insights into the molecular-level mechanisms. This valuable information not only helps in clinical decision-making but also contributes to enhancing patient outcomes. As a result, there is a rising dependence on pathology tests and procedures based on biomarkers to examine prevalent malignancies and tumorigenesis. This increasing reliance on biomarker-driven pathology is expected to drive the growth of the market.

 

The increasing adoption of advanced pathology equipment, including digital microscopes, gross imaging systems, and staining systems, is anticipated to significantly enhance anatomic pathological practices. Digital imaging solutions, in particular, offer significant advantages in terms of specificity and accuracy compared to conventional techniques. As a result, the adoption of these solutions in the market for anatomic pathology is experiencing an upsurge, driven by the increased demand for services that can provide improved diagnostic precision and reliability.

Companies are undertaking continuous efforts for the development of advanced and upgraded pathology equipment with respect to their design and ease of use. For instance, in May 2021, OptraScan, a comprehensive on-demand digital pathology solutions and scanners provider for confocal, fluorescence, frozen sections, and brightfield applications announced the launch of CytoSiA, an intelligent solution designed to facilitate fast and cost-effective scanning and analysis of liquid-based cytology slides and pap-smears. This comprehensive solution encompasses OptraScan's digital pathology scanner, storage capabilities, and robust artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms. CytoSiA aims to support pathologists and cytotechnologists in their efforts to screen and detect various cytologic categories, including cervical cancer, pre-cancerous lesions, atypical cells, and more. By combining cutting-edge technology with advanced algorithms, CytoSiA enhances the efficiency and accuracy of cytology diagnostics in a streamlined manner.

 

Moreover, several partnerships and agreement ventures among key companies for the introduction of an effective portfolio are driving the market growth. For instance, in April 2021, Koninklijke Philips N.V. announced a partnership with Ibex Medical Analytics, an AI software developer, with the aim of advancing the adoption of their digital pathology products across global hospitals, health networks, and pathology laboratories. By integrating Philips' digital pathology solution with Ibex's Galen cancer platform, which is powered by artificial intelligence, the companies anticipate significant enhancements in reporting efficiency, with an estimated improvement of 27%, along with productivity gains of 37%. Moreover, this collaboration is expected to enhance diagnostic consistency and accuracy, ultimately benefiting healthcare providers and patients alike, as affirmed by both companies involved.

 

The growing focus on personalized medicine and the increasing incidence rate of cancer and other chronic disorders are some of the factors driving the market growth. Moreover, increasing reliance on biomarkers-based pathology procedures and tests to explore tumorigenesis and common malignancy is also driving the market. Clinically useful biomarkers are used for the development of diagnostic tests and therapeutic drugs. Pathological laboratories can rely on these biomarkers to detect & track infections and disease progression during diagnostic procedures. Hence, biomarkers are gaining ground as diagnostic and prognostic markers.
