Anatomical pathology equipment and consumables are used for diagnosing diseases. Anatomical pathology is a scientific discipline in which diseases are identified by studying tissues and organs at molecular, biochemical, and microscopic levels.
The primary products and services in anatomical pathology consist of instruments, consumables, and services. Anatomical pathology instruments, such as Wintrobe's tube and Westergen's tube, are used as essential tools for various processes in pathology. The major applications include disease diagnosis, cancer, other diseases, and medical research. These are employed across end-users such as hospital laboratories, clinical laboratories, and others.
Tariffs have influenced the anatomic pathology equipment and consumables market by increasing the cost of imported microscopes, tissue processors, and reagents. Segments such as electron microscopes, automated slide stainers, and consumables like biopsy kits are particularly affected, with regions like Asia-Pacific and North America facing higher import duties. This has led to increased operational costs and adjustments in supply chains. On the positive side, tariffs have encouraged local manufacturing, development of cost-effective alternatives, and investment in domestic production capabilities.
The anatomic pathology equipment and consumables market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides anatomic pathology equipment and consumables market statistics, including anatomic pathology equipment and consumables industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a anatomic pathology equipment and consumables market share, detailed anatomic pathology equipment and consumables market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the anatomic pathology equipment and consumables industry. This anatomic pathology equipment and consumables market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The anatomic pathology equipment and consumables market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $25.18 billion in 2025 to $27.09 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to limited access to advanced pathology equipment, reliance on manual tissue processing, increasing prevalence of cancer and chronic diseases, growing hospital and clinical laboratory infrastructure, adoption of conventional staining and diagnostic methods.
The anatomic pathology equipment and consumables market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $39.12 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to adoption of automated instruments and AI-powered diagnostics, increasing investment in research and development for pathology solutions, rising demand for high-quality consumables, expansion of clinical laboratories and research centers, integration of digital pathology and big data analytics. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand for advanced microscopy and imaging solutions, increasing use of automated tissue processors and slide stainers, growth in disposable biopsy kits and consumables, expansion of training, consultation, and quality assurance services, rising focus on cancer diagnostics and research applications.
The increasing number of approvals for personalized medicines is expected to propel the growth of the anatomical pathology equipment and consumables market going forward. Personalized medicines refer to treatments or therapeutic products that are customized for individual patients based on their genetic, biomarker, phenotypic, or psychosocial characteristics that can predict treatment response. Anatomical pathology equipment and consumables play a critical role in personalized medicine by enabling detailed molecular and genetic analysis of patient samples, supporting tailored therapeutic strategies based on specific disease profiles. For instance, in February 2024, according to a report published by the Personalized Medicine Coalition, a US-based non-profit organization, personalized medicines accounted for more than one-third of all new drug approvals by the US FDA for the fourth consecutive year in 2023. This increase was largely driven by advances in treatments for rare diseases and cancer, with 26 personalized therapies approved, including 20 new molecular entities, along with several gene- and cell-based therapies. This expanding trend in personalized medicine is contributing to the growing demand for anatomical pathology equipment and consumables, which are essential for diagnostic testing and targeted therapies in personalized healthcare. Therefore, the rising approvals for personalized medicines are driving the growth of the anatomical pathology equipment and consumables market.
Companies operating in the anatomic pathology equipment and consumables market are focusing on developing innovative products, including automated tissue processors and staining systems, to improve diagnostic accuracy and laboratory workflow efficiency. An automated tissue processor is a device that prepares tissue samples for microscopic examination by automatically managing dehydration, clearing, and paraffin infiltration steps. For example, in September 2025, StatLab, a US-based provider of histology, cytology, and immunohistochemistry consumables and equipment, introduced the Diapath suite of instruments in the US market. The product portfolio includes the Donatello tissue processor, Giotto stainer, and Galileo slide printer, each designed to streamline pathology laboratory operations. Donatello provides customizable processing protocols with real-time reagent monitoring, Giotto ensures consistent staining through advanced automation, and Galileo supports precise slide identification using high-resolution thermal transfer printing. These developments aim to increase laboratory throughput, minimize human error, and support high-quality diagnostic outcomes.
In September 2025, Mopec Group, a US-based provider of anatomic and forensic pathology equipment and technology, partnered with Lumea to improve diagnostic accuracy, workflow efficiency, and patient outcomes by integrating Lumea's patented tissue-handling technology directly into its Maestro Encore Grossing Station, transforming the station into a digital pathology hub. Lumea is a US-based company specializing in digital pathology workflows, AI-assisted imaging, and tissue-handling consumables designed to optimize pre-analytical processes and support high-quality cancer diagnostics.
