North America Whole Slide Imaging Market Forecast to 2028 – COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis – by Type (Hardware, Software, and Services), Application (Telepathology, Cytopathology, Immunohistochemistry, and Hematopathology), and End User (Hospitals, Pharmaceutical and Biopharmaceutical Companies, Laboratories, and Academic Research Institutes)
The whole slide imaging market in North America is expected to grow from US$ 223.83 million in 2022 to US$ 615.72 million by 2028. It is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 18.4% from 2022 to 2028.
Raising Technological Advancements in Whole Slide Imaging
The concept of whole slide imaging emerged in the late 1990s. In initial phase, the system utilized microscope and computer combination to capture composite slide image. However, the system required considerable amount of time for image acquisition. In order to overcome this limitation, technology companies used automated algorithms and high-speed systems to boost the speed of image acquisition. This technological development extends the area of application for whole slide imaging. For instance, in May 2021, Due to rapid advancements in clinical applications for whole slide imaging and digital pathology, the College of American Pathologists (CAP) has collaborated with the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) and the Association for Pathology Informatics (API) to update the guideline “Validating Whole Slide Imaging for Diagnostic Purposes in Pathology. The new guidelines will ensure patients get their pathologic diagnosis quickly with the same quality test results and thereby possibly receive treatment sooner. Continual advancements in computational algorithms and image capturing technologies are making a constructive impact on the development of whole slide imaging technologies. Improvements in this technology are leading to a better throughput, error reduction, quick and efficient image capturing, image archiving, and image sharing. For instance, in March 2019, NanoString announced launch of GeoMx Digital Spatial Profiler, a next generation whole slide imaging technology for detailed spatial profiling of nucleic acid molecules. The system was introduced at the American Association of Cancer Research Conference 2019. Further, in March 2022, Inspirata Inc. announced U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance for its Dynamyx digital pathology software. Dynamyx holds the first FDA clearance for digital pathology software with multiple scanners, thus permitting customers to select the finest scanners for their laboratory. This clearance enables Dynamyx customers to use whole slide images (WSIs) for primary diagnosis instead of traditional glass slides, yielding powerful benefits to pathologists and laboratories. Furthermore, in October 2019, Olympus Corporation announced launch of its SLIDEVIEW VS200, an advanced slide scanner for high-resolution image acquisition. The equipment is capable of high-speed data acquisition and image processing of tissue samples as well as single cell. Such technological developments are estimated to drive the adoption of whole slide imaging systems, which would eventually boost the market growth during the forecast period.
