Cytology refers to the microscopic examination of both plant and animal cell samples with regards to their structure, chemical composition, and function. The examination of cells can be carried out through various methods such as scraping the tissue surface, collection of bodily fluids, fine needle aspiration, and others. Histology refers to the microscopic study of the structure, chemical composition and function of animal and plant tissues. Histology requires a complicated slide preparation process, which usually include five steps i.e. fixation, processing, embedding, sectioning, and staining.
Staining helps in highlighting and enhancing the contrast of biological structures such as muscle fibers, a particular cell organelle or a blood cell type to be studied inside the bulk tissues. Many modernized staining techniques have been adopted in the field of histology and cytology to effectively study complex biological structures inside targeted cell or tissue. Some of these staining techniques include in-situ hybridization (ISH) and immunohistochemical (IHC) staining. Both histology and cytology are essential for diagnosis of diseases such as cervical cancer, oral cancer, smallpox, rabies, and others.
The increasing incidence of cancer, rising research and development activities for the development of novel diagnostics for cancer, growing adoption of automation in histology and cytology are expected to drive growth of the global histology and cytology market. Moreover, increasing adoption of inorganic growth strategies such as partnerships, acquisitions, mergers and collaborations by key players operating in the market, are the major factors that are expected to drive growth of the global histology and cytology market over the forecast period.
For instance, according to the statistics provided by the National Institute of Cancer (NIC), U.S., in 2020 the rate of incidence of cancer was estimated to be 442.4 per 100,000 people, while the rate of deaths caused by cancer is estimated to be 158.3 per 100,000 people in the U.S. each year.
Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak was first reported on December 31, 2019, in Wuhan, China. The World Health Organization declared COVID-19, as pandemic on March 11, 2020. According to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Weekly Epidemiological Update by the World Health Organization, over 193,657,725 cases and 4,154,660 deaths due to coronavirus disease (COVID-19) were reported till July 25, 2021, across the globe.

The COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown in various countries across the globe has negatively impacted the financial status of businesses across all sectors. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the entire supply chain of the healthcare industry mainly due to strict lockdown in several regions. However, COVID-19 pandemic is expected to have a positive impact on histology and cytology market in this COVID-19 pandemic, owing to partnerships between market players to develop novel methods for histological studies in COVID-19 infection, in order to understand the nature of the disease and assess its severity.
For instance, in September 2020, HistoWiz, Inc., a U.S.-based biotechnology company entered into a partnership with GeneTex, Inc., a U.S.-based biotechnology company to establish a number of validated antibodies for application in immunohistochemistry using human COVID-19 infected tissue sample.
