Anatomic Pathology Market Analysis

Innovations in diagnostic techniques—including digital pathology, molecular diagnostics, and imaging technologies—enhance the accuracy and efficiency of pathology services, propelling the anatomic pathology market growth. An aging population is more susceptible to various diseases, leading to increased demand for pathology services for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. In addition, increased awareness about health issues, robust screening programs contributing to early diagnosis, supportive regulatory frameworks, and favorable reimbursement policies are fueling the growth of the anatomic pathology market.

Anatomic Pathology Market Overview

India is expected to register the highest CAGR in the overall market. The National Cancer Registry Programme Report 2020 projected cancer cases in India to reach 14.61 million in 2022. The report also stated that the incidence of cancer is estimated to increase by 12.8% by 2025 compared to 2020. With the surging prevalence of cancer and advancements in healthcare infrastructure, government authorities in India are focusing on providing people with extended access to healthcare solutions. As per data by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), the inflow of foreign direct investments (FDIs) into the drugs and pharmaceuticals industry totaled US$ 17.74 billion from April 2000 to December 2020. Moreover, companies, organizations, governments, etc., make significant investments in diagnostic services and modern diagnostic facilities. Thus, such investments in the healthcare sector bolster the anatomic pathology market growth in India.

Anatomic Pathology Market Drivers and Opportunities

Increase in Prevalence of Cancer and Kidney Diseases

Anatomic pathology is useful in identifying abnormalities that can help diagnose diseases, such as autoimmune diseases, kidney and liver diseases, and cancer. Histopathology, which involves studying tissue changes caused by diseases, is a vital part of anatomic pathology. Cancer has a major impact on society across the world. The burden of cancer on healthcare systems is significantly increasing worldwide as it is among the leading causes of death. The World Health Organization (WHO) ranks cancer as the second-leading cause of mortality worldwide. According to data published by the World Cancer Research Fund International, ~20 million new cases of cancer were registered in 2022 globally. Moreover, as per the data published by the World Health Organization (WHO), nearly 10 million deaths worldwide were caused by cancer in 2020. The National Center for Health Statistics data estimates that the diagnosis of new cancer cases in the US is likely to reach 2 million in 2024. In addition, ~0.61 million people are likely to die in 2024 in the US due to cancer. According to data published by Macmillan Cancer Support, ~392,000 people in the UK are diagnosed with cancer every year, while ~167,000 people die due to the disease each year.

The prevalence of chronic kidney disease is growing due to the increase in the geriatric population. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2023, ~35.5 million people in the US suffered from chronic kidney diseases. Biopsy, an anatomic pathology technique, is used for the detection of cancer and chronic kidney disease. Owing to the increasing prevalence of cancer and kidney disease, government agencies, healthcare providers, and institutions are being compelled to contribute toward disease diagnosis and treatment initiatives. Thus, a surge in the prevalence of cancer and other targeted diseases, such as autoimmune diseases, and kidney and liver diseases is driving the global anatomic pathology market growth.

Growing Focus on Personalized Medicines to Offer Opportunity for Market

Personalized medicines are mainly designed by considering individuals' genetic profiles to guide the decisions made with respect to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of a disease. They provide an opportunity for drug manufacturers to develop agents that target patient groups that do not respond to medications as intended or for them who do not respond as expected to traditional healthcare practices. There is much evidence indicating that a substantial portion of the variability in drug response depends on factors that are genetically controlled, including age, nutrition, environmental exposure, and health status. Genomics plays an important role in the emergence of personalized medicines, as having the knowledge of a patient's genetic profile would help doctors in selecting an apt medication. Personalized medicines are helpful in improving healthcare by enabling each patient to receive earlier diagnoses, risk assessments, and optimal treatments.

Pathologists play an important role in developing and implementing molecular and genomic tests in practice. Personalized medicines are used in the treatment of diseases such as breast cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Personalized anticancer medicines exhibit fewer and less severe side effects than other types of treatment as they are designed for more specific action. Further, with the ongoing progress in research and clinical studies, personalized medicines are likely to reach even greater potential to improve the quality of patient care. Thus, the growing focus on personalized medicines is expected to boost the anatomic pathology market growth.
