Histology And Cytology Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Type Of Examination (Histology, Cytology), By Product, By Application (Drug Discovery & Designing, Research), By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2021 - 2028

Histology And Cytology Market Growth & Trends

The global histology and cytology market size is expected to reach USD 37.7 billion by 2028, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 13.1% from 2021 to 2028. The factors contributing to market growth include increasing incidence of cancer, development of advanced tools for early disease diagnosis, implementation of immunohistochemistry, and innovation in microscopy.

In addition, organizations are collaborating for the standardization of cytopathology across the world, which is driving the market. For instance, in May 2020, International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) entered in collaboration with The International Academy of Cytology (IAC) for publishing a series of cytopathology reporting systems, for presenting an international approach that can be used for cytopathology of different body sites. The two organizations are engaged in the expansion and development of internationally recognized diagnostic reports for cancer and other precancerous disorders worldwide.

Moreover, companies are launching new and automated instruments for cytology which can be further attributed to the market growth. For instance, ELITechGroup Inc., in March 2020, launched Aerospray Cytology Slide Stainer Cytocentrifuge. It helps in the automation of the staining and preparation of specimens that are used in liquid-based cytology for facilitating the investigation of a collection of cell differentiation by using Papanicolaou staining techniques.

COVID-19 has become a catalyst for changing traditional pathology workflows with the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and digitalization solutions. During the pandemic, these tools have helped and continue to assist in remote reviewing of pathological cases hence preventing delay in patient care. Companies have reported the increasing adoption of digital pathology solutions post COVID-19.
