- Whole slide imaging (WSI), which enables high-resolution digitization of entire pathology slides, is becoming an essential tool in modern diagnostic workflows across clinical, research, and educational settings due to its efficiency, accuracy, and support for remote analysis
- The accelerating demand for whole slide imaging is primarily driven by the rising adoption of digital pathology, growing prevalence of chronic diseases requiring histopathological diagnosis, and increasing integration of AI and image analysis software in pathology labs
- North America dominated the whole slide imaging market with the largest revenue share of 60.3% in 2024, attributed to the early implementation of digital pathology systems, favorable regulatory frameworks, and strong healthcare infrastructure, with the U.S. leading in terms of technological adoption and investment in advanced diagnostic solutions.
- Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest growing region in the whole slide imaging market during the forecast period due to expanding healthcare access, increasing investments in medical infrastructure, and rising awareness of digital pathology’s benefits in diagnostic accuracy and workflow efficiency
- Telepathology segment dominated the whole slide imaging market with a market share of 40.5% in 2024, driven by its ability to enable remote diagnosis, expert consultations, and rapid sharing of pathology slides across geographic locations
