Vendor-Neutral Archive (VNA) & Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) Global Market Report 2024

The vendor-neutral archive (vna) & picture archiving and communication system (pacs) market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.92 billion in 2023 to $4.19 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth observed in the historical period can be ascribed to several factors, including the escalating volume of medical imaging data, government initiatives promoting the adoption of healthcare IT, a demand for streamlined workflows in the healthcare sector, an increasing emphasis on interoperability, the necessity for long-term data archiving, and a rise in diagnostic imaging procedures.

The vendor-neutral archive (vna) & picture archiving and communication system (pacs) market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.36 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be linked to the sustained expansion of medical imaging data, a worldwide initiative promoting healthcare data interoperability, heightened attention to data security, emerging trends in telemedicine and remote diagnostics, integration with advanced analytics, a focal point on patient-centric healthcare, and government backing for healthcare IT infrastructure. Significant trends expected in the forecast period encompass the adoption of cloud-based vendor-neutral archives, an emphasis on interoperability and standardization, the integration of artificial intelligence for image analysis, an increase in mobile access and teleradiology solutions, and the 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.

The escalating number of data breaches is expected to impede the growth of the vendor-neutral archive (VNA) and picture archiving and communication system (PACS) market. Data breaches involve the unauthorized access, disclosure, or acquisition of sensitive information, compromising patient confidentiality and eroding trust in these systems. This results in healthcare providers being hesitant to invest in and implement VNA and PACS solutions. For example, an IBM report in 2023 revealed that 83% of organizations experienced more than one data breach in 2022. Therefore, the increasing occurrences of data breaches are likely to negatively impact the growth of the vendor-neutral archive (VNA) and PACS market.

Leading companies in the vendor-neutral archive (VNA) and picture archiving and communication system (PACS) market are harnessing cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance the productivity and accuracy of radiologists while making PACS more accessible and cost-effective. The primary goal of AI is to optimize medical image analysis, streamline workflow efficiency, and enhance diagnostic capabilities within VNA and PACS solutions. For example, in August 2021, GE HealthCare Technologies Inc., a US-based manufacturing company, introduced Edison True PACS, a cloud-based PACS system that seamlessly integrates with remote accessibility via the internet. Edison True PACS incorporates AI into its workflow, empowering radiologists to improve productivity and accuracy. This innovative solution is cost-effective and suitable for healthcare entities of varying scales. Radiologists can benefit from its adaptable design, allowing customization of workflows to meet precise requirements. Additionally, it features a web-based diagnostic viewer and a zero-footprint clinical viewer, facilitating remote reading. The system is equipped with advanced image processing and visualization tools, enabling the seamless integration of third-party AI algorithms from the Edison platform into workflows, eliminating the need for additional steps.
