Digital Pathology Market Projected to Reach US$ 950 Mn by 2025
Future Market Insights (FMI) recently announced the release of its report titled "Digital Pathology Market: Global Industry Analysis and Opportunity Assessment, 2015 - 2025." According to the report, the global digital pathology market, estimated to be valued at US$ 326.7 Mn in 2015-end, is expected to expand at over 11% CAGR to total US$ 954.4 Mn by 2025.
According to FMI’s report, growing need for real-time access to pathology outcomes is a key factor fuelling widespread adoption of digital pathology services. Increasing initiatives by pharmaceutical companies to develop novel medicines for cancer treatment has also contributed to increase the scope of digital pathology systems.
Adoption of digital pathology services and solutions is anticipated to witness robust growth in the regions of North America and Western Europe, owing to favourable regulations and affordability. Although the use of digital pathology in primary diagnosis is restricted in the U.S., robust adoption across research centres has provided an impetus to the market in the country.
According to FMI’s report, Asian countries are facing challenges in adopting digital pathology solutions owing to high cost structure, complexity in practical implementation of cloud-based digital pathology systems, and a general lack of awareness about digital pathology systems.
