The global tissue diagnostics market will experience significant growth driven by the need for advanced staining in precise biomarker identification in personalized medicine, tissue biopsy test volumes, and pre-analytical and advanced staining platform development.
According to the WHO, there will be a 60% rise in cancer cases worldwide by 2040, which will fuel demand for tissue diagnostics. This increase highlights how urgently improved diagnostic tools are needed. The complexity of tissue diagnostics expanded due to advancements in cancer treatment, which require enhanced technology and capabilities in laboratories across the globe. Improving local diagnostic capacity is vital for managing the projected growth in cancer incidence worldwide, as it can improve test turnaround times and diagnostic accuracy—both of which substantially impact cancer treatment outcomes.
The pre-analytical staining market in the tissue diagnostics industry is being propelled by several key factors, such as growing advancements in staining technologies, pre-analytical platforms to simplify next-generation sequencing, automated staining platforms, and high-throughput systems to drive efficiency and reproducibility. Tissue diagnostics players are increasingly focusing on developing innovative and advanced systems and stains that enhance the specificity and sensitivity of tissue diagnostics. The advanced staining segment is the second leading segment due to a surge in adoption, especially driven by increased demand for ISH and IHC offerings, regulatory mandates to include CDx as part of pathology tests, and increased partnerships between biopharma companies and diagnostic companies.
Asia-Pacific’s growing cancer diagnostics infrastructure, increasing cancer prevalence rate, rising healthcare spending, increasing access to advanced diagnostic technologies, and growing government support all contribute to the region being the fastest-growing market.
Revenue Forecast
The global tissue diagnostics market is projected to grow from $6.79 billion in 2023 to $10.92 billion in 2029, with a CAGR of 8.2% during the study period.
The Impact of the Top 3 Strategic Imperatives on the Global Tissue Diagnostic Industry
Transformative Mega Trends
- With companies such as Foundation Medicine (which Roche acquired) using genetic profiling to customize cancer treatments, the tissue diagnostics sector is shifting toward precision diagnostics. Genetic profiling makes personalized medicines possible by identifying specific genetic changes and tumor biomarkers.
- Companies develop tissue-based companion diagnostics (CDx) tests alongside therapies, such as ALK rearrangement testing, PD-L1 testing, HER2 testing, and MSI-H-/dMMR testing. These tests use immunohistochemistry (IHC) on tissue samples and are becoming more necessary as the need for targeted treatments grows. Tissue diagnostics validated biomarkers can guide treatment selection, significantly supporting CDx test development.
Disruptive Technologies
- Whole slide imaging (WSI) is transforming pathology by enabling high-quality digital acquisition and storage of tissue slides. This technology enhances accessibility and collaboration, allowing pathologists to review and analyze slides remotely.
- Leica Biosystems integrates AI with WSI, which uses advanced image analytics for primary diagnostics (e.g., tumor markers) and/or diagnostic patients (i.e., tumor markers) and allows for integration results in more precise and effective tissue biomarker analytics and cancer diagnosis.
- A major advancement in digital pathology is the application of WSI and AI, which provide faster research and diagnosis, enhanced image quality, and ease of use.
Internal Challenges
- Most large industry players cater to these technological advancements. Still, the mid-size and small players in the tissue diagnostic industry face significant internal challenges, such as integrating advanced technologies (e.g., AI and digital pathology). Integrating these technologies requires large investments, and there's a limited knowledge base available.
- Robust data management systems and a change in organizational culture are also needed to adopt advanced technologies.
- The complex regulatory environment, with its protracted approval procedures and ongoing relationships with regulatory authorities, is more challenging for smaller companies with limited resources.
Scope of Analysis
- This research service provides an overview of the global tissue diagnostics market and a 5-year global market revenue forecast from 2023 to 2029.
- The geographical scope of this global study focuses on four regions: North America (NA); Europe; Asia-Pacific (APAC); and the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia (MENASA) and Latin America.
- The revenue forecasts involve a technology segment breakdown (pre-analytical staining, advanced staining, and integrated computational pathology and anatomical pathology laboratory information systems (ICP-APLISs) for the global market. Additionally, the report provides regional and end-user analysis (clinical laboratories, pharmaceutical companies, and contract research organizations [CROs]).
- Tissue diagnostics is a methodology for assessing tissue samples that doctors obtain during a patient’s medical procedure. Traditionally, health professionals stain tissue specimens from biopsies with dyes or markers and observe them under a microscope to check for cell structure abnormalities. Although health professionals use other novel technologies (e.g., digital pathology) to assess tissue samples, tissue diagnostics techniques are still the gold standard in cancer diagnosis.
