North America $593.9 Million Digital Pathology Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis & Forecast to 2028 - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "North America Digital Pathology Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Product (Software, Device), by Application, by End Use (Cancer Hospitals, Diagnostic Labs), by Region, and Segment Forecasts, 2021 - 2028" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The North America digital pathology market size is expected to reach USD 593.9 million by 2028. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2021 to 2028.

The market is predominantly driven by the growing prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer. As a consequence of the high prevalence of cancer, pathologists require data that facilitate personalizing therapy for patients. Hence, digital pathology is progressively being selected by pathologists as it has various benefits including accelerated diagnosis rate, diagnostic accuracy, and offers therapeutic recommendations to improve patient outcomes.

The growing number of collaborative agreements to develop as well as expedite the adoption of digital pathology in cancer diagnostics serves as a key growth factor contributing to the market. The use of artificial intelligence in digital pathology has gained momentum in the past years. The increasing need for lowering healthcare costs, increasing importance of big data in healthcare, rising adoption of precision medicine, and declining hardware costs are some factors driving the growth. In addition, increasing usage of artificial intelligence-based analytical tools in healthcare and high capital investments in this field are further propelling market growth.

During the coronavirus outbreak, the exponential need for home-based workstations and safe clinical informatics systems allowing healthcare professionals to read images remotely and enabling virtual collaboration between their multi-disciplinary care teams has increased. Various histopathology departments in the region faced a reducing workforce and increasing workload during the pandemic. Digital pathology considered being the potential solution for some of the challenges faced by the pathologist, there is an increase in the adoption of digital diagnosis of disease during coronavirus outbreak.

In April 2020, Philips announced that the FDA granted a waiver for home use of consumer monitors with the company's IntelliSite Pathology Solution during the emergency. The temporary exemption of restrictions on remote use of the digital pathology helps pathologists to access whole slide images from home and fasten the diagnosis of histology cases. Some pathology labs that have adopted DP in their workflows across different sites pre-COVID-19, reported improved collaboration, and an average productivity gain of 21.0% with operation efficiency increased by 13.0%. These types of initiatives are anticipated to fuel market growth.
