The telepathology slide scanner market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.5 billion in 2025 to $1.72 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to pathologist shortage, increasing cancer diagnostics, laboratory digitalization, need for remote consultation, advances in imaging technology.
The telepathology slide scanner market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.91 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to AI-driven diagnostic accuracy, telepathology adoption growth, global pathology collaboration, workflow automation, precision medicine expansion. Major trends in the forecast period include whole slide digital imaging, remote pathology diagnostics, ai-assisted slide analysis, high-throughput slide scanning, cloud-based pathology workflows.
The rising prevalence of chronic diseases is driving market growth due to an increasing aging population. The growth of the telepathology slide scanner market is expected to accelerate as chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and respiratory disorders, continue to rise. These long-term conditions develop gradually and require ongoing medical management. The increasing incidence of chronic diseases is largely linked to aging, as biological aging leads to cell damage, weakened immunity, and slower tissue repair, making older adults more susceptible to these conditions. Telepathology slide scanners enable rapid remote examination of tissue and biopsy samples, facilitating early detection and continuous monitoring of chronic diseases such as cancer, while improving diagnostic accuracy, reducing turnaround times, and supporting expert collaboration for better patient outcomes. For example, in April 2025, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a US-based national public health agency, reported that 76.4 percent of US adults, approximately 194 million people, had one or more chronic conditions in 2023, highlighting the growing burden of long-term illnesses. Therefore, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases is a key driver of the telepathology slide scanner market.
Leading companies in the telepathology slide scanner market are focusing on digital pathology solutions, such as high-speed slide scanners, to improve diagnostic workflows and enable seamless remote analysis. High-speed slide scanners rapidly capture high-resolution images of pathology slides, allowing fast and precise analysis while supporting remote diagnostics and enhancing workflow efficiency in clinical and research settings. For instance, in September 2024, Vieworks Co. Ltd., a South Korea-based digital imaging and bioimaging solutions provider, launched the LUCEON 510, a high-speed digital pathology slide scanner, at the European Congress of Pathology 2024 in Italy. The LUCEON 510, marking Vieworks’ entry into digital pathology, features a three-camera system that simultaneously captures images at different focus levels and merges them in real time to produce high-resolution whole slide images. It offers four imaging modes optimized for histopathology and cytology and can process up to 83 slides per hour with a capacity of 510 slides per load.
In August 2025, Evident Corporation, a Japan-based manufacturer of laboratory equipment and consumables, acquired Pramana Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition allows Evident to incorporate Pramana’s automated whole slide imaging systems, flexible scanning and workflow platform, and AI-driven quality control technologies, enhancing its digital and telepathology capabilities while enabling scalable operations, smoother workflow integration, and improved service. Pramana Inc. is a US-based health technology company specializing in fully autonomous image scanning systems for pathology.
