Global Histology Cassette Printer Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Global Histology Cassette Printer Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

A cassette printer is a machine used in histology to print labels onto tissue cassettes, which are small containers used to hold tissue samples during processing and storage. The labels typically include information such as the patient’s name, the type of tissue, and the date. Cassette printers are used in histology labs to ensure that tissue samples are properly labeled and tracked during processing and storage. This is important for maintaining accurate records and ensuring that the correct tissue samples are used for analysis and diagnosis.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global Histology Cassette Printer market finds that the global Histology Cassette Printer market reached a value of USD 106.33 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 150.66 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.98% during the forecast period.

Histological samples removed from patients undergo a large number of processing steps in the histology laboratory at different processing stations before they can be examined, for example, using a microscope. When histological samples are prepared for later sectioning during embedding, the samples are first fixed using a fixation medium (e.g. formalin). The tissue fluid present is then extracted from the sample. This is accomplished in several steps by treating with alcohol for increased purity. In order to transform the sample so treated into a state that allows cutting with a slicer, an embedding medium-such as paraffin, gelatin, agar, nitrocellulose, polyester wax, polyethylene glycol, or plastic-is infiltrated into the sample. During the above process, the sample is mostly located in a box with many sieve-like openings to enable the sample to be rinsed with chemicals.

The global prevalence of cancer has been rising significantly, and the disease is considered the second major cause of death after cardiovascular diseases. Various factors contributing to the rise in the prevalence of cancer include urbanization, tobacco smoking, increasing pollution, changing diet patterns, and a surge in the post-reproductive life span.

The level of competitiveness of global histology cassette printer suppliers is roughly comparable, which will affect the bargaining power of major players in the industry and require more research and development to form a unique competitive advantage. And some suppliers have rich experience in the field of histology cassette printers and have a strong brand image, which will raise the barriers to entry for the industry and limit the number of new entrants. Moreover, the market concentration of histology cassette printers is relatively high. These companies rely on high technology and scale to obtain profitability and other competitive advantages, which have established high industry barriers and limited the number of new entrants.

Region Overview:

In terms of region, the global histology cassette printer market has been segmented into North America, Western Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, Middle East & Africa, and Central America. The market in Asia Pacific is driven by favorable business environment and government initiatives to improve healthcare infrastructure. Moreover, increase in focus on research & development is anticipated to augment the market in the region. Stringent government regulations, presence of large-scale research units, and awareness about drug safety are the key factors projected to augment the market in North America.

Segmentation Overview:

Laser Cassette Printer prints flawless barcoded tissue and biopsy cassettes using advanced laser technology to create the precise, clean edges and clear lines a barcode requires and permanent and indelible printing that survives the harshest of histology processes. Laser printing technology consistently and reliably produces sharp, crisp text and 2D barcodes that are permanent and deliver nearly perfect scan rates.

Thermal Cassette Printers feature thermal transfer printing technology that is noise, fume and UV cure-free. Print quality is crisp, permanent and resistant to histological chemicals.

Application Overview:

Histology Cassette Printers can be used in biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, hospital and laboratory, etc. Cassette printing is one of the essential elements of a histology lab workflow. A well-planned lab workflow integrates cassette printing throughout the lab – including at receiving and at each grossing station, printing barcoded tissue cassettes as needed as each case is processed. By placing a cassette printer at each grossing station the labs’ efficiency is significantly increased while the risk of specimen misidentification is reduced or even eliminated.
