Anatomic Pathology Market

Anatomic Pathology Market Size (2021 to 2026)

As per our report, the global anatomic pathology market is predicted to grow from USD 27.77 billion by 2027 to USD 20.60 billion in 2022. The market is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 6.16% during the forecast period. The use of anatomic pathology with biomarkers in diagnosing cancer is hugely impacting the market's growth rate positively.

Anatomic pathology is a diagnostic procedure examining organs and tissues through macroscopic, microscopic, biochemical, immunologic, and molecular examination. This procedure can help the healthcare professional evaluate quality-based treatment for the patient as its diagnosis accurately. In clinical centers, anatomic pathology is a technology used to diagnose diseases with microscopic, macroscopic, and other instruments. Modern technologies play a pivotal role in processing, examining, and analyzing cancer diseases and making the right decisions over treatment procedures.

Impact of COVID-19 on the global anatomic pathology market:

COVID-19 outbreak has drastically changed every sector, even in the anatomic pathology market. Amid COVID-19, there has been a decrease in hospitals' patient count over the past few months despite emergency and outpatient services. In addition, cancer surgeries are reduced due to the lockdown restrictions. Also, it is estimated that the market will grow enormously once the crisis is normal. According to the world economic forum, 33% of cancer surgeries were postponed in 2020, and around 28 million elective surgeries will be planned for next year. Hence, the number of diagnostic procedures reduced in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

MARKET DRIVERS:

The rising aging population worldwide and increasing incidences of chronic diseases due to changes in food habits and lifestyle are primarily accelerating the global anatomic pathology market.

In 2018, around 9.6 million deaths occurred due to cancer globally, according to the world health organization. The reports also state that cancer risk can be reduced by using proper equipment in the healthcare sector. Market players are planning to launch innovative products to gain profits, which is likely to elaborate on its growth rate. 

Furthermore, Y-O-Y demand to improve the diagnostic procedures in clinical centers, increasing concern towards health and priority for early diagnosis and a rise in disposable income in urban areas is expected to boost the market’s growth rate. The growing adoption of the latest technologies and the launch of innovative techniques in the medical sector are estimated to favor the anatomic pathology market growth. In addition, the growing prevalence of effective treatment procedures and promoting the patient's well-being after surgeries create opportunities for the anatomic pathology market. Increasing investments in hospital construction by the government is likely to bolster the anatomic pathology market.

MARKET RESTRAINTS:

However, the lack of standardization is slowly hampering the market's demand. In addition, stringent rules and regulations by the government also negatively impact the growth of the anatomic pathology market.
