North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific regions drive market growth.
According to a Mordor Intelligence report, driven by artificial intelligence and the shift to remote diagnostic workflows, the digital pathology market will be worth $201 million in 2026 and is expected to reach $320 million by 2031, with a compound annual growth rate of 9.90%.
Underlying this transformation is the move from traditional microscopes to whole-slide imaging systems, enabling hospitals to fully digitize workflows.
Artificial intelligence-driven image analysis tools are increasingly integrated into digital pathology platforms to assist with disease detection, grading and classification.
This helps pathologists reduce manual workload, improve diagnostic consistency, and enable early identification of complex conditions, particularly in oncology.
Digital pathology also enables remote diagnosis and real-time collaboration between pathologists in different locations, supporting telepathology applications, addressing workforce shortages and improving access to expert opinions in underserved areas.
North America remains the leading region in the digital pathology market owing to early adoption of advanced diagnostic technologies, strong healthcare infrastructure, and favorable regulatory framework.
The United States continues to increase deployment of whole-slide imaging systems and AI-assisted diagnostic software in hospitals and reference laboratories.
Europe is a major contributor due to the increasing acceptance of digital pathology in routine diagnostics, academic research and pharmaceutical applications.
Western European countries are adopting digital pathology platforms to increase efficiency and enable cross-border collaboration among pathologists.
Asia Pacific remains the fastest growing region in the market.
The digital pathology market is moderately competitive, with established medical imaging companies, specialized digital pathology vendors, and emerging technology companies operating globally.
Market players are focusing on product innovation, AI integration, strategic collaborations, and regulatory approvals to strengthen their market positions, while investments in scalable software platforms and cloud solutions are shaping competition.
