Global Histology and Cytology Consumables Market - 2023-2030

Global Histology and Cytology Consumables Market - 2023-2030


Global Histology and Cytology Consumables Market reached US$ XX million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ XX million by 2030, growing with a CAGR of XX % during the forecast period 2023-2030.

Histology consumables improve quality, reduce errors, and save time with dedicated plug-and-play consumables. From glass slides and coverslips to wax and bulk reagents, the smooth running of any laboratory depends on a consistent supply of high-quality consumables. Whereas Cytology is the branch of biology dealing with the morphology, structure, ultrastructure, life cycle, and pathology of cells. Historically cytology has referred to the study of the microscopic appearance of cells and cell structures, especially for the diagnosis of abnormalities and malignancies.

Market Dynamics: Drivers and Restraints

Strategies adopted by the key companies

The key companies have increased their investments, expansion, collaborations and partnerships in the release of novel anatomical pathology consumables to meet the most demanding demands of contemporary histology laboratories.

For instance, in July 2023, StatLab Medical Products, a McKinney-based developer and manufacturer of medical diagnostic supplies, launched a new manufacturing facility in Arlington after acquiring two UK-based histology consumables and diagnostic equipment companies in 2021 and 2022. Injection molding operations at the new 35,000-square-foot Arlington facility will give laboratories confidence in additional U.S.-produced core histology consumables including cassettes.

In the future company plans to launch of archiving service that not only will cement StatLab as a market leader in the histology consumables market, but also provide laboratories with a comprehensive off-site solution for sample archiving, allowing them to be stored and retrieved when needed, saving valuable time and storage space.

Furthermore, increased demand for research and development for early disease detection and diagnosis, increased healthcare spending. An increase in hospitals and diagnostic laboratories, and increased demand for personalized medicines necessitates the study of individual cell structure and function, an increase in the prevalence of cell-based diseases such as cancer and autoimmune diseases requires the detection and diagnosis of specific cells and tissue.

Market Dynamics: Restraint

The stringent government regulations policies and complicated procedures associated with histology and cytology are the factors that are expected to hinder growth of the global histology and cytology market over the forecast period. For instance, according to an article published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) in May 2021, histological specimen slide preparation involves a number of steps such as fixation, dehydration, embedding, sectioning, and others which can prove to be a complicated and time-consuming task.

Segment Analysis

The global histology and cytology consumables market is segmented based on product type, application, end-user and region.

The histology and cytology stains and dyes segment from the product type segment accounted for approximately 43.5% of the histology and cytology consumables market share

The triple histology and cytology consumables segment from the product type segment accounted for approximately 43.5% and is expected to be dominated during the forecast period. Several consumables are used for the histology and cytology process such as tissue sample containers, kits, stain reagents, fixative solutions, medium reagents, and other reagents. The large share of the segment can be primarily attributed to the routine adoption of histology and cytology consumables.

For instance, in March 2020, ELITechGroup Inc., recognized worldwide as slide staining and cytocentrifuge technologic pioneers and innovators, with nearly 30 patents, over the 35-year lifespan of Aerospray staining technology, stated the launch of the Aerospray Cytology Slide Stainer Cytocentrifuge.

Geographical Analysis

North America accounted for approximately 38.4% of the market share in 2022

North America is estimated to hold about 38.4% of the total market share throughout the forecast period, owing to the factors like high incidences of cancer, FDA clearance, extensive R&D activities, presence of key players, and established research infrastructure for pathology services. In addition, the high rate of product approval and commercialization in the region is further contributing to the growth of the market for histology and cytology.

For instance, in April 2023, Danaher’s Leica Biosystems announced the U.S. FDA clearance for its Bond MMR Antibody Panel, which offers a high-performing immunohistochemistry (IHC) mismatch repair (MMR) opportunity for clients that are screening colorectal cancer (CRC) individuals for probable Lynch syndrome. The various launches for efficient screening of tissues and cells for diagnostic purposes.

Moreover, in April 2021, Sakura Finetek USA, Inc. stated the launch of the Tissue-Tek Histology Reagents, delivering a full complement of consistent, reliable and high-quality reagents to meet the tissue fixation, processing, and staining needs of histology laboratories.

“The new line of Tissue-Tek Histology Reagents completes our product portfolio of consumables for use on our Tissue-Tek VIP Series of tissue processors and Tissue-Tek Prisma Series automated slide staining systems.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The COVID-19 pandemic had a positive impact on the growth of the market for histology and cytology. Various strategic collaborations were observed between the companies for developing antibodies specific for validation with immunohistochemistry. For instance, in September 2020, GeneTex, Inc. partnered with HistoWiz, Inc. to establish various validated antibodies for immunohistochemistry in human COVID-19-infected tissues.
