The global digital pathology market size was estimated at USD 1.53 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 2.97 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 8.6% from 2026 to 2033. This is attributed to rising prevalence of cancer, increasing focus on improving the efficiency of workflow, and growing demand for faster diagnostic tools.
Moreover, rising investments in healthcare aided by major key players operating in the market focusing on new launches, increasing adoption of telepathology, and an increasing focus on drug discovery and precision medicine is propelling the market growth.
The digital pathology industry is predominantly driven by the growing prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer. As a consequence of the high prevalence of cancer, pathologists require pathology data that can facilitate customizing of therapies for patients. Therefore, digital pathology is increasingly preferred by pathologists, as it accelerates the diagnosis rate, enhances diagnostic accuracy, and provides therapeutic recommendations to improve patient outcomes. For instance, a 2024 study published in Breast Cancer Research highlights the application of deep learning models such as ResNet50, Transformer, and Hover-net in enhancing image enhancement, segmentation, and classification for breast cancer diagnosis. Such instances signify the growth potential of the market.
Rising adoption of healthcare IT solutions is fueling the demand for digital pathology solutions. Organizations are increasingly implementing them to cut costs, streamline processes, overcome resource bottlenecks, and facilitate efficient content sharing. A growing necessity for collaborations and the expanding use of digital documentation across various scientific disciplines also drives the demand. In addition, factors such as heightened adoption to enhance laboratory efficiency, a surge in teleconsultations, and increased applications in companion diagnostics and drug discovery are expected to contribute to the market's growth.
Additionally, AI is being leveraged to enhance the analysis of digital images. Previously, pathologists had to identify regions of interest within tissue samples manually, but AI is now automating this process. This shift reduces the reliance on manual labor, minimizing the risk of human error and promoting greater automation in pathology practices.
