Automated Cell Block System Market Outlook:
Automated Cell Block System Market size was valued at USD 18.4 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 45.1 billion by the end of 2035, rising at a CAGR of 9.4% during the forecast period 2026-2035. In 2026, the industry size of automated cell block system is evaluated at USD 20.1 billion.
A rapid surge for advanced diagnostic solutions is observed all across the world, which is majorly driven by the increasing prevalence of chronic illnesses, such as cancers. As evidence of the continuously growing patient population, the WHO in February 2025 projected that the volume of deaths due to cancer was registered as 10 million worldwide. On the other hand, a report from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) data in May 2025 also testified to this by predicting that the total cancer population in the U.S. is 2,041,910. This is pushing global healthcare authorities to opt for more efficient and scalable pathology solutions to improve public access to advanced diagnostic solutions. Moreover, the growing demand for large-scale detection and prevention measures is driving the automated cell block system market.
Investment in research, development, and deployment (RDD) is mainly made by the public and private sectors to improve diagnostic accuracy and laboratory productivity. In the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), the funding for the research and development of cancer-related diagnostics has experienced steady investment, driving innovation in pre-analytical sample preparation. From the trade perspective, importation and exportation of completed automated systems and their supplies are substantial. The United States International Trade Commission statistics indicate active trade of medical devices under harmonized system codes, including 9018 for instruments and appliances used in medical sciences. Countries with a strong manufacturing base lead the market. The OEC 2023 data depicts that the global trade of medical instruments reached USD 167 billion, highlighting the market growth.
