Digital Pathology Market by Application (Disease Diagnosis, Drug Discovery, Teleconsultation), Product (Scanner, Software, Communication System), Type (Human, Veterinary), End User (Pharmaceutical & Biotechnology Companies) - Global Forecast to 2022
[154 Pages Report] The global digital pathology market is projected to be valued at $383.9 Million in 2016 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12.3% from 2017 to reach to $756.1 Million by 2022. Growth in the overall market is mainly driven by factors such as the growing applications of digital pathology in drug development and companion diagnostics, ease of consultation, increasing adoption of digital pathology to enhance lab efficiency, rising prevalence of cancer, and increasing initiatives by governments and industry players. Base year considered for the report is 2016 and the forecast period is 20172022.
Selected Market Dynamics in Digital Pathology Market
Rising prevalence of cancer
The global incidence of cancer is increasing. According to the WHO, cancer is the second-leading cause of death globally and was responsible for 8.8 million deaths in 2015. The number of new cancer cases is expected to increase by about 70% over the next two decades. The American Cancer Society reported that cancer accounts for 1 in every 7 deaths worldwide. According to the same report, cancer is the second-most common cause of death after heart disease in the US; approximately 1,688,780 new cancer patients are expected to be diagnosed in 2017 in the US.
With the increasing prevalence of cancer, the need for faster and more accurate methods of subtyping diseases is on the rise. Digital pathology systems offer an accurate diagnosis and easy exchange of data among pathologists, thus improving diagnostic quality. The increasing prevalence of cancer worldwide is thus likely to drive the market for digital pathology.
High cost of digital pathology systems
A typical digital pathology system, which includes a slide scanner, an image server, and software, costs around USD 150,000 to USD 200,000. Although large hospitals with significant capital budgets can afford these systems, pathologists and academic institutes with limited budgets or IT support often cannot afford them. This limits the uptake of these systems.
