The digital pathology market is expected to grow from USD 1.46 billion in 2025 to USD 2.75 billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 13.5%. The growth is mainly attributed to the shortage of pathologists globally, the increasing need for remote diagnostic capabilities, and the escalating prevalence of chronic diseases. Artificial intelligence-driven analysis, whole-slide imaging, and sophisticated digital software also enhance diagnostic operations and their precision.
The digital pathology market is competitive and dominated by a few prominent competitors such as Danaher Corporation (US), Philips N.V. (Netherlands), Hamamatsu Photonics K.K. (Japan), F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd. (Switzerland), 3DHISTECH (Hungary), Apollo Enterprise Imaging (US), among others. Key players in digital pathology are focusing on AI integration and strategic partnerships. Companies like Philips and Roche are embedding AI to automate image analysis and improve diagnostic accuracy, while also forming alliances with hospitals and tech firms to expand adoption and co-develop advanced solutions.
