On the basis of products and services, the global anatomic pathology market is divided into instruments, consumables, and services. The products & services segment is further divided into instruments, consumables, and services. The instruments segment is sub-divided into microtomes & cryostat, tissue processors, automatic stainers, and other products. The consumables segment consists of reagents & antibodies, probes & kits, and others.
The consumables segment is projected to hold a large market share during the forecast period owing to accessibility of wide-ranging consumable products for anatomic pathology and ongoing advanced technological development. However, the instruments segment is anticipated to expand at a significant CAGR due to the presence of many market participants available with improved design of instruments.
Sakura Finetek launched manual microtome Accu-Cut SRM 300 LT in September 2018. This product was integrated with a new feature called 4-color LED-backlit 3D Precision Chuck. For quick visualization of translucent biopsies, this feature allows to observe paraffin-embedded tissue samples in simplified way.
Drug Discovery & Development segment is expected to grow at a rapid pace
Based on applications, the global anatomic pathology market is divided into disease diagnosis, drug discovery & development, and others. The disease diagnosis segment is projected to constitute a large market share in the coming years owing to wide research on anatomic pathology protocols that gives an opportunity to discover disease etiology and associated outcomes.
Hence, in 2019, the segment held a major revenue market share due to extensive applications in disease. The disease diagnosis process at inflammatory and proliferating stromal cells stage aims on detection of tumor, therefore, it reduces costs related to tumor eradication. Additionally, manufacturers are emphasizing on innovation and novel diagnostics techniques, which can fuel the segment growth.
The drug discovery & development segment is projected to expand at a rapid pace over the forecast period owing to wide adoption of the technique for drug discovery and development. During preclinical trials, tissue analysis are extensively adopted by pathologists, which provide plenty of information for pharmaceutical manufacturers. In toxicology assessment, anatomic pathology plays important role in evaluating advance effects of candidate drugs.
Hospital segment to account for a key share
Based on end-users, the global anatomic pathology market is divided into hospitals, research laboratories, diagnostic laboratories, and others. In 2019 the hospitals segment dominated the market in terms of revenue generation due to growing rate of hospitalization of cancer patients along with frequent readmissions in hospitals.
The segment is expected to hold a key market share in the coming years owing to high development of hospital based pathological laboratories and availability of well-trained staff and well-developed healthcare infrastructure. The diagnostic laboratories segment is projected to constitute a large market share in the coming years owing to wide development in advanced testing and equipment.
