A telepathology slide scanner is a digital imaging system that captures high-resolution images of pathology slides for remote viewing and analysis. It converts physical slides into precise digital formats, allowing efficient sharing and evaluation across various locations. This technology enhances diagnostic accuracy, improves workflow efficiency by reducing assessment time, and enables real-time collaboration and faster decision-making in pathology.
The primary product categories of telepathology slide scanners include brightfield scanners, fluorescence scanners, whole slide imaging scanners, and others. Brightfield scanners generate high-resolution images of stained tissue samples using transmitted light for standard pathology analysis. The scanner technologies consist of digital pathology, virtual microscopy, and other methods, applied in areas such as disease diagnosis, education, research, and other uses. The major end-users include hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, academic institutions, research centers, and others.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The fast surge in U.S. tariffs and the trade tensions that followed in spring 2025 are heavily affecting the medical equipment sector, particularly for imported imaging machine components, surgical-grade stainless steel, and plastic disposables. Hospitals and clinics resist price hikes, pressuring manufacturers' margins. Regulatory hurdles compound the problem, as tariff-related supplier changes often require re-certification of devices, delaying time-to-market. Companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing critical parts, expanding domestic production of commoditized items, and accelerating R&D in cost-efficient materials.
The telepathology slide scanner market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides telepathology slide scanner market statistics, including telepathology slide scanner industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a telepathology slide scanner market share, detailed telepathology slide scanner market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the telepathology slide scanner industry. The telepathology slide scanner market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The telepathology slide scanner market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.31 billion in 2024 to $1.50 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.5%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the rising demand for remote diagnostic services, increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, growing shortage of skilled pathologists, expansion of international pathology collaborations, development of telemedicine infrastructure, and increasing awareness of early disease detection.
The telepathology slide scanner market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.55 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.1%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to increasing healthcare digitization initiatives, rising investments in remote healthcare systems, growing demand for efficient disease screening, an increase in pathology outsourcing activities, expansion of hospital teleconsultation networks, and a stronger focus on accessible diagnostic solutions. Key trends in the forecast period include technological advancements in whole slide imaging resolution, improvements in automated slide handling systems, innovations in artificial intelligence-assisted image analysis, progress in cloud-based pathology data management, research and development in digital pathology integration, and advancements in real-time telepathology viewing platforms.
The rising prevalence of chronic diseases is driving market growth due to an increasing aging population. The growth of the telepathology slide scanner market is expected to accelerate as chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and respiratory disorders, continue to rise. These long-term conditions develop gradually and require ongoing medical management. The increasing incidence of chronic diseases is largely linked to aging, as biological aging leads to cell damage, weakened immunity, and slower tissue repair, making older adults more susceptible to these conditions. Telepathology slide scanners enable rapid remote examination of tissue and biopsy samples, facilitating early detection and continuous monitoring of chronic diseases such as cancer, while improving diagnostic accuracy, reducing turnaround times, and supporting expert collaboration for better patient outcomes. For example, in April 2025, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a US-based national public health agency, reported that 76.4 percent of US adults, approximately 194 million people, had one or more chronic conditions in 2023, highlighting the growing burden of long-term illnesses. Therefore, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases is a key driver of the telepathology slide scanner market.
Leading companies in the telepathology slide scanner market are focusing on digital pathology solutions, such as high-speed slide scanners, to improve diagnostic workflows and enable seamless remote analysis. High-speed slide scanners rapidly capture high-resolution images of pathology slides, allowing fast and precise analysis while supporting remote diagnostics and enhancing workflow efficiency in clinical and research settings. For instance, in September 2024, Vieworks Co. Ltd., a South Korea-based digital imaging and bioimaging solutions provider, launched the LUCEON 510, a high-speed digital pathology slide scanner, at the European Congress of Pathology 2024 in Italy. The LUCEON 510, marking Vieworks' entry into digital pathology, features a three-camera system that simultaneously captures images at different focus levels and merges them in real time to produce high-resolution whole slide images. It offers four imaging modes optimized for histopathology and cytology and can process up to 83 slides per hour with a capacity of 510 slides per load.
In August 2025, Evident Corporation, a Japan-based manufacturer of laboratory equipment and consumables, acquired Pramana Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition allows Evident to incorporate Pramana's automated whole slide imaging systems, flexible scanning and workflow platform, and AI-driven quality control technologies, enhancing its digital and telepathology capabilities while enabling scalable operations, smoother workflow integration, and improved service. Pramana Inc. is a US-based health technology company specializing in fully autonomous image scanning systems for pathology.
