In a nutshell, the digitalization of conventional pathology lab is referred as digital pathology. This technology has gained momentum in the global medical and healthcare industry, due to the improvements it brings in a number of applications such as drug discoveries, development of multi-functional devices, diagnostic tests and other research purposes.
Increasing no. of cancer cases, growing presence of tele-consultations, high efficacy of digital pathology systems with increased adoption rate and more initiatives undertook by government as well as private companies are helping the cause of the digital pathology market. On the other hand, barriers such as strict regulatory concerns for primary diagnosis, lack of standard guidelines for digital pathology, nonexistence of reimbursement and deficiency in skilled personnel are some of the major factors that are constraining the market in all likelihood. However, mounting requirement for sophisticated healthcare facilities which can be met through establishing digital pathology systems, would offer lucrative opportunities for the service providers in the future if they can overcome threats like high cost of installing new technology or building new infrastructure.
