Pathology plays a significant role in the medical field. The digital pathology market in Latin America is primarily driven by the rising prevalence of chronic diseases and the widespread usage of digital pathology. In addition, the increased demand for rapid diagnostic tools for treating patients with chronic diseases and the growing number of approvals for digital pathology to improve laboratory efficiency and convenience of consultation all contribute to the market’s growth.

In addition, the growing importance of employing digital pathology to improve lab efficiency is a crucial factor in market growth. On the other hand, the market growth pace is being accelerated by rising cancer incidence and increased healthcare investment. Therefore, digital pathology in the development of pharmaceuticals and companion diagnostics is boosting the Latin American digital pathology market growth rate. 

Furthermore, the increase in digital slides via web services during the COVID-19 pandemic is only increasing the market growth rate. The market’s demand is likely to be bolstered by increased support from IT companies in creating innovative techniques. Before gaining profit and providing superior treatment services, prominent industry participants are using digital pathology techniques. This is also contributing to the market’s rapid expansion throughout Latin America.

However, the shortage of skilled technicians in laboratories that can handle problems in real-time is hindering the market growth. In addition, the smaller hospitals, clinics, and academic institutions cannot effort them since these systems have high installation and maintenance costs, slowing the market’s expansion in Latin America.
