The rising prevalence of neurodegenerative disorders is expected to drive the histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors market. Neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, are characterized by the progressive degeneration of neurons, leading to cognitive and motor dysfunction. The rising incidence of these disorders can be attributed to factors like age and genetics. HDAC inhibitors are being explored for their potential to treat neurodegenerative diseases by modulating gene expression and offering neuroprotective effects. In August 2024, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that 6.7 million older adults in the U.S. have Alzheimer's, and this number is expected to double by 2060. Therefore, the rising incidence of neurodegenerative disorders is boosting the growth of the HDAC inhibitors market.

Firms dominating the histology equipment market are centering their efforts on innovating modern solutions like next-generation slide scanners, aiming to increase precision and effectiveness in diagnosing cancer. The term next-generation slide scanner pertains to a state-of-the-art imaging instrument engineered to digitally seize comprehensive images of stained histology slides taken from patient tissue samples. These scanners generally possess enhanced attributes and functions compared to their predecessors. For example, Roche, a pharmaceutical firm based in Switzerland, unveiled the VENTANA DP 600 slide scanner in June 2022. This next-generation scanner produces high-grade images for stained histology slides obtained from patient tissue samples. Besides its high-capacity, the device boasts of a user-centric interface, and can be readily integrated into pathology lab processes. This makes it a valuable tool in procuring the necessary digital images for cancer diagnosis and treatment planning.
