Global Histology Equipment Market Analysis and Global Forecast 2022-2030

The global Histology Equipment market size is projected to reach approximately $7.93Billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 4.7% from 2022 to 2030. Histology is a medical specialty that deals with the microscopic examination of tissue samples. Histology equipment is essential for this type of work. The most common types are microscopes, which allow researchers to view tissues and cells. Other common types of histology equipment include tools for the preparation, preservation, and staining of tissue samples.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

COVID-19 affected many businesses in various sectors. It also affected the Histology Equipment market. Demand for fragment staining systems and tissue processing systems declined because clinical testing providers had to reallocate assets and staff to focus on preventing the spread of the virus. Additionally, one of the logistical challenges this virus caused was how difficult it made it to transfer tissue samples between pathologists’ homes and hospitals and provide access to a microscope, IT system, or biomaterials outside of a lab setting. Despite this, companies taking steps to overcome such challenges. Roche’s digital pathology solution provided a full range of services from slide scanning to automated diagnosis so that chronic diseases can be managed more effectively. This is supposed to have a profound impact on the global histology equipment market due to COVID-19.

Market Dynamics

The History equipment market size has increased due to an increased awareness of several skin diseases around the world. The prevalence of chronic diseases, such as cancer has led to the increased adoption of equipment for advanced diagnosis. There will also be an increase in demand for AI-based healthcare solutions as the incorporation of AI technology improves patient care and diagnostic accuracy.

Drivers

⮚     Increasing Prevalence of Chronic Diseases, such as Cancer

Some of the major factors responsible for the growth in this market are the increasing numbers of incidences of cancer and other chronic diseases, the need to upgrade diagnosis equipment, and awareness of skin diseases. According to GLOBOCAN 2020 statistics, the world’s total number of new cancer cases is 19.29 million while the death toll due to cancer is just over 10 million. Furthermore, as per the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) data, 1 in 5 people suffer from cancer during their lifetime. Cancer is a major health concern all around the world, with most cases occurring annually

Restraint:

• High Cost of Histology Equipments and Lack of Skilled Labors

The worldwide histology equipment market will be affected by the prevalence of strict government regulations, higher operational costs for setting up pathology laboratories, and the lack of skilled professionals. Many laboratories around the world focus on histology, but to meet the demand, they need to purchase or build histology equipment that is high-quality and certified; which can be costly. The lack of skilled professionals is also a major challenge, as it is difficult to find qualified people who can operate histology equipment.

Opportunity:

⮚     Adoption of Advanced AI in the field of Pathology

Technological advancements will not only redefine pathology in the coming years but will allow the professionals to gather, process, and use that data at an optimal level- which is anticipated to result in better quality medical services. The development of artificial intelligence has paved the way for dramatic changes in the medical field. Artificial Intelligence solutions may help to provide improved patient care and diagnostic accuracy. Additionally, the use of AI in histology equipment offers several benefits including automated diagnosis and efficient image analysis.

 

Segment Overview

By Type

Based on the Type, the Histology Equipment market is segmented based on Slide-staining Systems, Scanners, and Tissue-processing Systems. The Slide-staining Systems segment is anticipated to account for the large market share due to its wide range of uses such as tissue processing, immunohistochemistry, and cytogenetics stain. Scanners are expected to witness high growth during the forecast period owing to their ability to produce high resolution and clear images.
