Synopsis
The global market for Pathological Examination was estimated to be worth US$ 34133 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 65912 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 10.0% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
Pathological examination is a medical diagnostic process that involves the analysis of tissues, cells, or bodily fluids to determine the nature, cause, and extent of disease. It includes techniques such as histopathology, cytology, immunohistochemistry, and molecular pathology. As the gold standard for diagnosing cancers and many other diseases, pathological examination plays a critical role in clinical decision-making, surgical planning, and prognosis assessment.
The pathological examination market is driven by the increasing global incidence of cancer and other chronic diseases that require tissue-based diagnosis. As healthcare systems shift toward precision medicine, the demand for accurate, early-stage diagnostic tools such as histopathology, cytology, and molecular pathology continues to rise. Technological advancements—such as digital pathology, immunohistochemistry (IHC), and next-generation sequencing (NGS)—have expanded the scope of pathology beyond traditional microscopy, improving workflow efficiency, diagnostic accuracy, and enabling personalized treatment strategies.
Despite strong growth potential, the pathological examination market faces key challenges including a shortage of trained pathologists, especially in developing countries. Manual workflow in traditional pathology can be time-consuming and error-prone, and digital pathology implementation requires significant infrastructure investment, standardization, and regulatory approval. Furthermore, variability in tissue sample quality, complex reimbursement environments, and integration issues with hospital information systems (HIS/LIS) continue to pose barriers to the widespread adoption of advanced pathology technologies.
