The global pathological examination market size was around $172.08 billion in 2018, and is expected to reach $438.78 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 12.4% from 2019 to 2026. The research offers a detailed analysis on changing market dynamics, key investment pockets, major segments, and market competition.
Factors such as increase in prevalence of chronic diseases and high focus on early diagnosis of diseases drive the market growth. However, shortage of pathologists and skilled technicians restrains the growth of the market. Conversely, use of digital pathology in disease diagnosis create new opportunities for growth of the market.
Traditional segment to lead in terms of revenue through 2026
Among types, the traditional segment was the largest in 2017, capturing 91% of the market share and would maintain its dominance through 2026. However, the digital segment would grow at the fastest CAGR of 15.4% from 2019 to 2026.
