Report : Asia Pacific Whole Slide Imaging Market Forecast to 2028 – COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis – by Type (Hardware, Software, and Services), Application (Telepathology, Cytopathology, Immunohistochemistry, and Hematopathology), and End User (Hospitals, Pharmaceutical and Biopharmaceutical Companies, Laboratories, and Academic Research Institutes)

At 18.8% CAGR, the Asia Pacific Whole Slide Imaging Market is speculated to be worth US$ 309.94 million by 2028, says Business Market Insights   

According to Business Market Insights’ research, the Asia Pacific whole slide imaging market was valued at US$ 110.48 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 309.94 million by 2028, registering an annual growth rate of 18.8% from 2022 to 2028. Raising adoption of digital pathology and upraising developments in telemedicine technologies.                

Increasing emphasis on achieving better diagnostic outcomes is extensively driving the demand for digital pathology. Growing acceptance of digital pathology and whole-slide imaging is universal among academic health centers, pathology departments, and the nation’s largest pathology companies. Many private practice pathology groups in the United States now recognize that digital pathology is the path forward for the entire profession. Most academic pathology departments and large pathology lab companies have integrated digital pathology (DP) and whole-slide imaging (WSI) into many of their lab’s daily activities. This growing demand for digital pathology solutions is expected to increase the adoption of whole slide imaging, which would eventually drive the market during the forecast period. The whole slide imaging technology is capable of providing long-term tissue study, 3D image reconstruction, detailed cell counting and analysis, and stereological analysis. For instance, in October 2020, OptraSCAN launched OS-Ultra, a high-speed whole slide scanner for digital pathology. The device is capable of high-speed and high-quality image scanning in order to streamline the workflow and reduce errors. Such benefits of whole slide imaging for digital pathology are estimated to have positive impact on the market growth. Significant number of market players are focusing on raising investments for digital pathology. As the technology provides an efficient way for superior diagnostics, digital pathology is expected to witness extensive surge in adoption in years to come. For instance, in December 2020, Proscia raised around US$ 23 million through rounds of series funding to accelerate the adoption of digital pathology. Moreover, in April 2019, Deep Lens, a digital pathology start-up raised US$ 13.65 million with the help of series funding. The company operates in cancer clinical trials and raised this amount for consolidation of its digital pathology platform. Such investments are likely to drive the adoption of digital pathology, thereby boosting the market growth by 2028.
