Histology and Cytology Market Size

The global histology and cytology market is projected to grow from USD 14.6 billion in 2021 to USD 22.7 billion by 2026 at a CAGR value of 13.7%.

The histology and cytology market is driven by the growing number of pathological laboratories, rising demand for advanced pathological diagnostic tests, and the increasing prevalence of cancer and other infectious diseases.

Histology analysis is used to study the tissue structure of animal and plant cells while cytology is used to analyze the structure and function of the cells. Both techniques are widely used in screening for cancer and other infectious diseases.

Technological advancements in digital pathology and the growing number of laboratories have been instrumental in the growing application of these techniques. Histology equipment companies, as well as cytology equipment companies, have begun integrating artificial intelligence and machine learning with the equipments to improve their image analyzing capabilities.

The growing demand for cancer screening in developing nations is expected to be a lucrative opportunity for players looking to expand their product reach. Growing investment in improving healthcare facilities and healthcare accessibility in developing nations is expected to further enhance the growth of the market for these procedures. The growing number of patients suffering from chronic cancer across the globe has increased awareness amongst people for the need for early detection of tumour and other infectious diseases.

Histology and cytology can be used for screening various diseases like inflammatory diseases, smallpox, rabies, abnormal growth, and leukemia, among others. The market is restrained by the cost of these tests, the need for skilled professionals, and stringent government regulations for disease diagnosis. The debate of histology VS. cytology has been ongoing for a time now and, cytology is expected to be more preferred going forward as it can be used to identify various types of cancer. The market is restrained by the cost of these tests, the need for skilled professionals, and stringent government regulations.

Histology and Cytology Market: By Type of Examination

Based on the type of examination, the market is segmented into histology and cytology. The cytology segment is expected to hold the dominant share of the market as well as showing faster growth rates than the histology segment. The cytology segment’s dominance arises from its ability to be used in screening for various cancers like cervical, lung, and breast cancers. These tests are also cheaper than histology tests which have also contributed to the large demand for cytology tests over histology tests. The growing prevalence of cancer is expected to increase the demand for cytology during the forecast period. Cytology has also been recommended by the WHO for detecting cervical cancer owing to its low cost and greater flexibility.

Histology and Cytology Market: By Product

Based on the product type, the market is segmented into instruments and analysis software systems and consumables & reagents. The consumables & reagents segment is envisaged to grasp the largest share of the market revenue during the forecast period. The large demand for various consumables in cytology and histology tests such as sample containers, stains & reagents, kits, and other consumables have contributed to the dominance of this segment. The demand for cytology in cancer screening procedures has also played a crucial role in the increased demand for consumables & reagents. The development of cheaper kits and reagents has been instrumental in the dominance of this segment.

However, the instruments and analysis software systems segment is envisaged to grow at a faster growth rate than the consumables & reagents segment. Technological developments such as photoacoustic microscopy and multimodal nonlinear microscopy in histology and cytology analysis are expected to play a vital role in the growth of the market.

Histology and Cytology Market: By Application

Based on the applications of histology and cytology, the market is segmented into drug discovery & designing, clinical diagnostics, and research segments. The drug discovery & designing segment is expected to hold the dominant share of the market. Widespread usage of histomorphometry and IHC staining in drug development has contributed to the dominance of the segment. The clinical diagnostics segment is envisaged to log better growth rates than the other segments during the forecast period. The growing adoption of cytology for cancer screening is expected to have a positive impact on the growth of the clinical diagnostics segment.

Histology and Cytology Market: By Region

Based on region, the market is segmented into various regions such as North America, Europe, Central & South America, Middle East & North Africa, and Asia Pacific regions. The North American region is expected to be the dominant region in the market during the forecast period. The growing prevalence of cancer and large investment in drug development in the region has been pivotal in the dominance of the market in the region. The availability of excellent healthcare infrastructure and insurance reimbursement policies for histology and cytology screening has also been crucial to the growth of the market in the region.

However, the APAC region is envisaged to become the fastest-growing region in the market. Increased investment in drug development and the growing pharmaceuticals and biotechnology industry in the region is expected to play a crucial role in the growth of the market. The growing awareness of the need for early detection of cancer and the growing geriatric population in countries like Japan are expected to further enhance the growth of the market in the region.
