Digital pathology subfield focuses on managing data collected from digitized specimen slides using information generated from those slides. Through the use of computer-based technology, digital pathology utilizes virtual microscopy. A computer monitor can be used to view, share, manage, analyze and interpret glass slides transformed into digital slides. Moreover, growing elderly population, the rapid development in advance pathology technology, growing number of healthcare organizations adopting digital imagining, introduction of hybrid models along with rising healthcare spending is expected to drive global digital pathology market growth during the forecast period. According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, US healthcare spending accounted for USD 4.1 trillion in 2020, representing 19.7% of the nation's GDP.
Global Digital Pathology Market: Growth Drivers and Challenges
Growth Drivers
- Surge in Incidence of Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs) Around the World- As per the data from World Health Organization, a global estimate of 17.9 million people died from cardiovascular diseases in 2019, accounting for 32% of all deaths.
As chronic conditions become more prevalent, digital pathology is expected to become more essential to treat patients, improve diagnostic performance, and reduce the high cost of conventional diagnostics. Chronic diseases are associated with high mortality rates. Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs) are highly prevalent, which makes advanced diagnostic and imaging procedures necessary.
- Increasing Number of Laboratory Tests Performed Worldwide- According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a total of 14 billion laboratory tests are ordered each year. Lab test results are crucial to 70% of medical decisions, demonstrating the vital role clinical laboratories play in healthcare.
- Rise in the Number of Drug Discovery Trials - According to research that was conducted, over 13% of clinical drug trials have been approved by the FDA in 2018, an increase from 2017
- Increase in Exports of Automatic Data Processing Machines - The International Trade Center (Trademap) reports that the value of exports of automatic data processing machines in China in 2021 was USD 8,506,449 thousand, an increase from USD 7,397,894 thousand the previous year.
- Rapid Adoption of AI Tools in Healthcare- For instance, the demand for artificial intelligence (AI)-based solutions is anticipated to rise by over 48% among healthcare organizations.
Challenges
- Higher Maintenance Cost
- Un-Availability Of Skilled Manpower
- High Cost Associated With Integration And Implementation Of Hardware & Software
The global digital pathology market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by end-user into hospitals, clinics, diagnostic & private laboratories and research centers. Among these segments, the hospital segment is anticipated to capture the largest market size in the global digital pathology market owing to the increasing adoption of digital imaging and scanning methodology in hospitals for quick treatment of patients. Furthermore, the increasing government initiatives to support medical hospitals along with the growing number of hospital visits across the world are expected to augment segment growth over the forecast period. For instance, nearly 800 outpatient visits occurred in United States in the year 2020.
