Healthcare digitization is rapidly transforming the
industry, making healthcare operations more efficient and cost-effective than
ever before. Digital pathology is one of the most important aspects of
healthcare evolution, and its rapid adoption is changing the way pathological
information is acquired, managed, interpreted, and shared. Digital pathology is
the acquisition and management of digitized specimen data and information. It
employs virtual microscopy to convert glass slides into digital slides so that
data can be viewed, analyzed, and shared on a computer monitor. Telepathology
is a remote pathology system that uses telecommunications technology to
transfer image-rich data and information to different locations for diagnostic,
research, or educational purposes. Pathologists are increasingly using
cutting-edge technology such as artificial intelligence (AI), deep learning
(DL), and machine learning (ML) to automate image analysis and improve disease
diagnosis speed and accuracy.
According to the most recent Reports and Data study, the
global digital pathology market was worth USD 553 million in 2020 and is
expected to grow at a 13.8 percent CAGR during the forecast period. The
market's revenue growth is primarily attributed to the increasing adoption of
digital pathology to improve laboratory efficiency and advance pathology
workflows. Other key factors driving market revenue growth include increasing
prevalence of acute and chronic diseases, a growing patient pool, and increased
use of high-throughput and automated digital pathology scanners and image
analysis tools. Advances in whole-slide imaging (WSI), rapid integration of
computer-aided diagnosis (CAD), and increasing adoption of digital pathology
software applications all contribute to revenue growth.
