Major trends in the forecast period include adoption of cloud-based vendor-neutral archives, emphasis on interoperability and standardization, integration of artificial intelligence for image analysis, rise in mobile access and teleradiology solutions, implementation of vendor-neutral image sharing networks.

The anticipated widespread adoption of electronic health records (EHRs) is expected to drive the growth of the vendor-neutral archive (VNA) and picture archiving and communication system (PACS) market. Electronic health records represent digital versions of a patient's paper medical records, containing comprehensive health profiles, including medical history, diagnoses, medications, treatment plans, vaccination records, and other relevant health data. The increased adoption of EHRs enhances the significance of VNAs and PACS in healthcare, promoting data integration, interoperability, and streamlined workflows. These systems play a crucial role in managing, storing, and providing access to diagnostic imaging data, ensuring healthcare providers have the necessary tools for delivering high-quality care while safeguarding patient privacy and security. For example, reports from the Munich American Reassurance Company in June 2023 indicated a significant increase in EHR adoption, from 23% in 2020 to 61% in 2022. Consequently, the growing adoption of EHRs is poised to propel the vendor-neutral archive (VNA) and picture archiving and communication system (PACS) market.

The expected rise in infectious diseases is projected to contribute to the growth of the vendor-neutral archive (VNA) and PACS market. Infectious diseases, caused by pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, or fungi, necessitate efficient storage, retrieval, and management of medical imaging data for timely and accurate diagnostics, monitoring, and treatment planning. For instance, as of March 2023, the National Center for Biotechnology Information reported an increase in tuberculosis cases in the United States, with 8,300 cases in 2022 compared to 7,874 in 2021. The incidence of TB slightly rose to 2.5 per 100,000 persons in 2022, compared to 2.4 in 2021. Consequently, the growing prevalence of infectious diseases is a driving factor for the vendor-neutral archive (VNA) and PACS market.

Major companies in the vendor-neutral archive (VNA) and picture archiving and communication system (PACS) markets are focusing on innovative technologies like imaging electronic medical records (EMR). An electronic medical record (EMR) is a digital version of a patient's paper chart, containing medical history, diagnoses, treatments, and test results within a single healthcare facility. For example, in October 2022, RamSoft Inc., a Canada-based healthcare software company, introduced OmegaAI, an imaging EMR platform that integrates medical imaging solutions. The platform is designed to streamline imaging workflows and improve patient care, featuring a unified workflow list, a zero-footprint viewer, advanced workflow automation, and comprehensive patient records. The benefits of OmegaAI include seamless integration, improved interoperability, cost-efficiency, better patient care, and increased patient empowerment. With its cloud-native architecture, the platform reduces the need for on-site data centers, enhancing operational efficiency and supporting patient engagement.

In November 2023, InsiteOne, a US-based healthcare solutions provider, acquired BRIT Systems for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is aimed at bolstering cloud-based clinical image management by incorporating BRIT's RIS and PACS solutions into InsiteOne’s portfolio. The integration is expected to enhance radiology workflows and improve enterprise imaging solutions. BRIT Systems, a US-based company, specializes in custom, cloud-native solutions for PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System), RIS (Radiology Information System), teleradiology, and digital reporting, tailored to the specific needs of medical imaging workflows in hospitals and imaging centers.
