Histology And Cytology Market Growth & Trends
The global histology and cytology market size is anticipated to reach USD 49.48 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 15.31% from 2025 to 2030. The factors contributing to market growth include increasing demand for early detection of diseases, increased standardization of pathology laboratories, and implementation of immunohistochemistry and innovation in microscopy.
Organizations are focusing on collaborations for the standardization of cytopathology globally, positively impacting market growth. For instance, in November 2022, a novel IARC GICR collaboration center was established in Kenya to advance cancer registration in sub-Saharan Africa via training. The collaborating center focuses on regional training courses and the implementation & development of the CanReg5 software.
Moreover, companies are launching novel and automated instruments for cytology which can be further attributed to the histology and cytology industry growth. For instance, in January 2021, F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd launched uPath HER2 (4B5) image analysis and uPath HER2 Dual ISH image analysis-two automated digital pathology algorithms that offer rapid & accurate patient diagnoses in breast cancer.
COVID-19 became a catalyst for changing traditional pathology workflows with the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and digitalization solutions. During the pandemic, these tools helped and continue to assist in the remote reviewing of pathological cases. Thus, preventing delays in patient care. Companies have reported increasing adoption of digital pathology solutions post-COVID-19.
