Anatomic pathology is a medical specialty that focuses on identifying diseases based on microscopic, macroscopic, immunologic, biochemical, and molecular examinations of organs and tissues. Its (anatomical pathology) main role is to identify abnormalities that can help to diagnose disease and manage treatment.

The adoption of anatomic pathology has shown promising results in identifying and managing various types of tumors or cancers, kidney and liver diseases, autoimmune disorders, etc. As a result, it is often being used in end-use verticals such as hospitals, research laboratories, and diagnostic laboratories.

The rising prevalence of numerous diseases coupled with the growing need for early detection of chronic diseases and the rapidly expanding healthcare industry is providing a strong thrust to the growth of the anatomic pathology market and the trend is likely to continue during the forecast period.

Consequently, increasing usage of biomarkers advances in histology, and rapid expansion of the cellular pathology market will positively impact the anatomic pathology market projections in the future.

Over the years, biomarkers have become quite popular as they allow pathologists to determine disease causation at the molecular level, which aids clinical decision-making and improves patient outcomes.

Currently, anatomic pathology accounts for a 0.2% share of the global pathology market and this number is expected to increase substantially on account of rising applications of anatomic pathology in numerous applications.

Regionally, North America will continue to dominate the global anatomic pathology market, accounting for around 37.1% share through 2030.

Growth in the North American anatomic pathology market is driven by the strong presence of major market players, favorable government policies connected to pathological training programs, availability of advanced technologies, favorable reimbursement scenarios for anatomic pathology diagnostic tests, and rising healthcare expenditures
