Rising Cancer Burden, Digital Pathology, and AI Integration Drive Global Anatomic Pathology Market to US$64 Billion by 2032

Thursday Oct 23, 2025

Industry Experts, Inc. has released its latest market research report, "Global Anatomic Pathology Market - Products and Applications," estimating that worldwide revenues will increase from US$37.4 billion in 2025 to US$64 billion by 2032, registering a CAGR of 8% during 2025 to 2032. Growth is supported by rising cancer incidence, an aging population, and the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases that demand early and precise diagnosis. Expanding use of biopsy evaluations, histopathology, immunohistochemistry, and molecular pathology continues to drive diagnostic volumes across hospitals and laboratories worldwide.

Technological advances in digital pathology, artificial intelligence, and lab automation are transforming workflows and improving accuracy. Integration of molecular profiling and biomarker-based testing is strengthening the role of anatomic pathology in oncology, drug development, and personalized medicine. Emerging markets are gaining momentum through improved healthcare infrastructure, government investments, and adoption of advanced diagnostic platforms. Despite high equipment costs and workforce shortages, favorable reimbursement policies and growing demand for precision diagnostics are expanding the global market footprint.

Anatomic Pathology Market

North America dominates the anatomic pathology market with a 42% share in 2025, led by the U.S. due to advanced healthcare infrastructure, high R&D spending, and strong uptake of digital and molecular pathology. The Asia-Pacific region will post the fastest CAGR of 9.7% through 2032, driven by expanding healthcare access, increasing cancer incidence, and rapid adoption of AI-assisted diagnostic tools in China, India, and Japan.

By product and services, Consumables account for over 58% of the market in 2025, reflecting their recurring use in tissue processing, staining, and molecular assays.
