Report Scope

This report analyzes the digital pathology market, providing forecasted trends and sales projections for this market through 2029. It covers key market players, product segments, supporting technologies, emerging trends, competitive intelligence, major geographies and their competitive landscapes, and it offers regional insights. The report's in-depth analysis of market dynamics and their impact(s) forms the foundation for its qualitative assessments and market estimates.

Digital pathology is the process of converting glass slide samples into digital images to enable electronic analysis, storage and sharing. This conversion, which enhances diagnostic accuracy, collaboration and efficiency by facilitating advanced imaging, computational analysis and telepathology, has revolutionized pathology with data-driven insights and remote consultations.

While this report outlines the conventional processes of pathology laboratories, it does not include market analysis for traditional lab devices such as microscopes and slides. The connectivity and network issues discussed are specific to data and information related to pathology lab diagnoses, excluding broader hospital-based mHealth (Mobile Health) concerns. This report's coverage of telepathology is focused on diagnostic applications, research and development (R&D), and education and training but does not address telemedicine at a broader level.

This report addresses regulatory aspects, including innovations; technological advances (patents and approvals); and the latest trends, preferences and developments in digital pathology. As part of its analysis, it segments the digital pathology market by system, type, application and end user. The market has also been segmented into the following major geographies, North America, Asia-Pacific, Europe and the Rest of the World, and there is focused coverage of countries such as the U.S., Canada, Mexico, France, Germany, the U.K., Italy, Spain, Japan, India, Australia, South Korea and China.
