Asia Pacific Anatomic Pathology Market Outlook

Digital pathology, a growing subfield within anatomical pathology, uses digital technologies to streamline data collection and management. It helps reduce risks to specimen samples and has the potential to accelerate enrolment in clinical trials. Additionally, digital pathology can reduce sample-to-result turnaround time and streamline the central pathology review process, further offering opportunities to increase trial efficiency.

To introduce upgraded technologies, machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) are integrated with digital pathology for proper analysis and management of data. Several anatomic pathology laboratories are becoming increasingly aware of the benefits of digitization and AI in practice. Moreover, recent technological advancements and regulatory approvals are encouraging the digitalization of laboratory operations to improve the speed and accuracy of processes. With AI and ML, pathologists will have an augmented ability to improve diagnostic accuracy, efficiency, and consistency.

In November 2023, Dedalus Group and Ibex Medical Analytics launched a fully integrated End-to-End AI-powered Digital Pathology Solution for cancer diagnostics. It enables complete digitization of anatomic pathology labs with a next-generation Anatomic Pathology Information System (AIS) and DP solution, harnessing the power of data and AI for assisted case prioritization, advanced image analysis, and reproducible diagnoses. The rising focus on integrating AI technology for anatomical pathology processes due to its benefits is expected to act as a trend and is expected to fuel the growth of the market in the forecast period.

Asia Pacific Anatomic Pathology Market Country Insights

Based on country, the Asia Pacific anatomic pathology market comprises China, Japan, India, Australia, South Korea, and the Rest of Asia Pacific. China held the largest share in 2023.

In China, cancer has arisen as a significant public health concern affecting the lives of its citizens. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the country recorded 4.57 million new cancer diagnoses and 3.00 million cancer-related deaths in 2020, ranking first in both these parameters globally. As a result, the emphasis has switched to the early screening, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer cases. In the last two decades, the Chinese central government has launched a series of large-scale cancer screening programs in the form of "transfer payment," such as the "Cancer Screening Program in Rural Areas (2005)," "Cancer Screening Program in Huai River Areas (2007)," "Cervical Cancer and Breast Cancer Screening Program for Women in Rural Areas (2009)," and "Cancer Screening Program in Urban Areas (2012)." These programs have increased population-wide screenings for esophageal, gastric, colorectal, liver, cervical, breast, and other high-risk malignancies. Such strategies contribute significantly to cancer prevention and control in the primary medical facilities throughout China. Furthermore, the country is shifting from traditional pathological diagnosis to digital pathology. According to the China White Paper on Digital Pathology published by the Shanghai Digital Medicine Innovation Center and Beijing-based Equal-Ocean in 2022, 40% of hospitals surveyed are in the process of building or have already established a digital pathology system. More than half of these hospitals have invested over 1 million yuan (US$ 147,620) in digital pathology systems, with some spending more than 5 million yuan each. In addition, the white paper mentioned that ~23% of remote clinical consultations utilized digital pathology in 2022. Thus, with growing investments in the healthcare sector and increasing initiatives for cancer screening, the demand for anatomic pathology tools and digital solutions is rising in China.
