The hospital laboratories segment was valued at USD 165.01 million in 2018. The increasing adoption of digital pathology and laboratory automation, coupled with the growing emphasis on patient safety, data integrity, and regulatory compliance, drives the demand for robust track-and-trace solutions in hospital settings. Moreover, the implementation of track-and-trace solutions in hospital laboratories ensures accurate specimen tracking, reduces errors, and enhances patient safety, contributing to improved healthcare outcomes. Thus, such factors will drive the growth of the hospital laboratories segment in the global anatomic pathology track-and-trace solutions market during the forecast period.
The barcode segment held the largest share of the global anatomic pathology track-and-trace solutions market in 2023, owing to the high adoption of barcode systems among anatomic pathology laboratories due to their lower cost (compared with RFID). Tracking of anatomic pathology assets such as slides, specimens, and blocks can reduce interpretation errors, improve productivity as well as the workflow, and decrease the overall cost. The major barcode track-and-trace products used in anatomic pathology laboratories include barcode scanners, printers, labels, and labeling systems. Furthermore, the popularity of barcodes largely depends on the complexity and capabilities of the novel tracking software. Thus, such factors will drive the barcode segment in the market during the forecast period.
The RFID segment is expected to demonstrate the fastest growth in the global anatomic pathology track-and-trace solutions market. This can be attributed to various factors, such as the ability of RFID technology to track bundled specimens and heightened data security. The major RFID track-and-trace products used in anatomic pathology laboratories include RFID readers, tags, and software. Furthermore, unlike barcodes, RFID technology does not require a user to physically locate and scan tags as the RFID readers use radio frequency signals for scanning them. RFID enables the simultaneous identification of samples and automates data collection, which largely reduces human errors and workload. Thus, such factors will drive the RFID segment in the market during the forecast period.

There are multiple factors influencing market growth and forecasting. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2023 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges.
The growing adoption of automated systems in laboratories is the key factor driving market growth. Market players manufacturing anatomic pathology track-and-trace products are adopting automated solutions comprising high throughput machines integrated with automated sample collection and analysis techniques. Automated techniques have facilitated rapid and high-precision results. Moreover, automation has also enabled an increase in production and a reduction in test time without compromising the quality and purity standards.
Additionally, anatomic pathology laboratories are using workflow automation systems to considerably reduce the costs associated with labor and materials. Furthermore, the use of automated systems for device-to-device communication and digital barcoding for sample tracking will make traceability cost-effective and procedures less prone to errors. Therefore, the growing adoption of automated systems in laboratories is expected to drive the growth of the global anatomic pathology track-and-trace solutions market during the forecast period.
Digitization of healthcare is the primary trend shaping market growth. The implementation of digitization in the healthcare industry has significantly influenced market trends and analysis. Key benefits include improved coordination between doctors and patients, enhanced communication among multiple physicians, real-time access to health information, and strengthened data security. In the domain of anatomic pathology track-and-trace solutions, digitization has led to increased efficiency in the specialty, more reproducible specimens, and a noteworthy reduction in the workload of pathologists.
Furthermore, digitization of anatomic pathology laboratories also decreases the barriers between laboratories in different regions, facilitating referrals and consultations. It can also increase the accessibility of slides by various pathology laboratories and hospitals as the information from it can be stored in the cloud and retrieved from anywhere easily. Therefore, such factors are expected to positively impact the market growth during the forecast period.
The increasing cost of healthcare treatments is a challenge that affects market growth. Advances in healthcare technology have been monumental in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of several diseases. However, the costs of some of the technologies are partially responsible for the overall rise in healthcare costs. Technology can consume more time and money in an organization for training, support, programming, and project development, thereby proving that return on investment (ROI) is a significant risk.
In addition, certain in-vitro diagnostic tests performed by pathology laboratories for the diagnosis of conditions such as cancer and rare diseases require the use of expensive instruments, consumables, and highly trained research personnel, which increases the overall cost of such tests. The high cost of these tests reduces their adoption among patients with budget constraints. Thus, the increasing healthcare costs are expected to impede the growth of the global anatomic pathology track-and-trace solutions market during the forecast period.
