Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) Market Research Report Information By Type (Oncology, PACS, Others), Component (Hardware, Software, Services), Imaging (MRI, Others), Delivery Mode (Cloud, Web, On-Premise Mode), End-User- Forecast Till 2032

Picture Archiving and Communications Systems Market Overview 

The Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) Market is projected to reach USD 5.1 Billion by 2032 at 5.9% CAGR during the forecast period 2023-2032. The Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) is a type of medical imaging technology that is used to send images from the point of acquisition to other places. Multiple modalities, such as radiography, CT scans, MRIs, ultrasounds, and others, are easily accessible with the technology. The rising frequency of chronic diseases and the growing geriatric population are two important drivers driving the PACS industry, according to analysts. Different countries of the world have seen an increase in the burden of chronic diseases. Chronic diseases are most commonly found in people from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Other factors such as government and private sector investments and funds, rising demand for early diagnosis, technological advancements in medical imaging devices, rising cancer incidence, improving regulatory framework, growing research funding, unmet medical needs, rising competition among radiology PACS market size players, and increasing government assistance are all contributing to the global picture arch's growth. The physical and time obstacles associated with traditional film-based image retrieval, dissemination, and presentation have been reduced thanks to PACS. PACS is widely used in hospitals and clinics because it eliminates the requirement for hard copy image storage and substitutes it with digital storage.

Picture Archiving and Communications Systems Market Regional Analysis

The Americas dominates the Picture Archiving and Communications Systems market owing to the rising demand for early diagnosis, rising prevalence of chronic diseases, well-developed technology, high healthcare expenditure, and the presence of leading players. Owing to the rising demand for imaging devices, various market players are coming up with advanced technology. For instance, on March 26, 2018, Singular Medical Technologies (SMT), the U.S. based technology company announced two new additions to its PACStation suite of products. The PACStation-GO is a fully functional reading workstation, with two full-size diagnostic monitors and is completely portable.

Radiology imaging solutions have generated a significant return on its healthcare IT investment by implementing Exa’s Voice Recognition in place of traditional transcriptionists, and their productivity has increased by 400%.    

Europe holds the second position in the  picture archiving and communications systems market. It is expected that the funding towards research and development expenditure and increasing competition among marketers are likely to drive the European market.

Asia Pacific is the fastest growing Picture Archiving and Communications Systems market owing to a huge patient pool, increasing demand for diagnosis, and development in the healthcare IT sector. According to IBEF, the Healthcare Information Technology (IT) market was valued at USD 1 billion in 2016 which is estimated to grow 1.5 times by 2020.

The Middle East and Africa holds the lowest share of the global Picture Archiving and Communications Systems market due to low development, lack of technical knowledge, and poor medical facilities.
