Over the course of the forecast period, it is anticipated that the usage of digital pathology to increase lab productivity would increase. Glass slides are scanned to create digital images as part of the disruptive technology known as whole slide imaging. It is a brand-new imaging technique that pathology departments all over the world are using. For instance, new uses for digital pathology have been made possible by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (USFDA) approval of a few digital whole slide imaging systems for surgical pathology primary diagnoses.
It is projected that there will be a rise in the incidence of cancer over the course of the projection period, which will promote market expansion for whole slide imaging. One of the expanding focuses of study in the field of digital pathology is "entire slide imaging," which investigates a wide variety of approaches and applications with the goal of enhancing clinical care and the identification of cancer. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cancer was the leading cause of death in the world in the year 2020. Cancer was responsible for about 10 million fatalities, which is equivalent to nearly one death in every six. The most common types of cancer are those that affect the lungs, breasts, prostates, colons, and rectums respectively.
The global Whole Slide Imaging Market was valued at US$ 721.55 Mn in 2021 and is forecast to reach a value of US$ 1,627.68 MN by 2028 at a CAGR of 12.4% between 2022 and 2028.
