Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) Market - Global Outlook and Forecast to 2026

Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) is a necessary technology in modern hospitals and has proven its important status in the radiology department for fetching and archiving medical images followed by their integration with the radiology information system (RIS). Medical imaging system technology has seen substantial growth over the past several decades with more healthcare organizations integrating imaging capitalize on digital technologies to address a changing healthcare environment. PACS use Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) to transmit and store images. DICOM is both a file format for storing and a protocol for transmitting images. Medical imaging devices communicate with the application server through the DICOM protocol.

Market Dynamics

The increasing adoption of health information technology (health IT) and the expanding use of diagnostic imaging is boosting the PACS technologies market growth. Moreover, government initiatives to encourage the adoption of health IT due to its benefits is also driving the PACS market size. Hospitals are also affiliating with each other, medical imaging centers, clinics and other facilities to share patient’s medical images and information. However, alike other healthcare IT systems, PACS is also dependent on regulatory and technological standards, which can alter and force health care providers to upgrade the system. For instance, in 2017, FUJIFILM Medical Systems U.S.A., Inc., a leading provider of diagnostic imaging and medical informatics products, launched version 5 of Synapse PACS in the U.S. The latest design offers server-based image execution and a zero-download viewer with browser flexibility, leading to significant IT benefits for many organizations. Furthermore, though PACS processes have majorly adopted in healthcare, a newer medical imaging technology, the vendor neutral archive (VNA), has replaced PACS in some healthcare settings.

Growing healthcare IT and adoption of Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems is expected to drive the growth of the picture archiving and communication system market

Growing healthcare IT adoption coupled with increasing demand for diagnostic imaging are expected to drive global picture archiving and communication system market revenue growth over the forecast period. For instance, according to a survey from Healthcare’s Digital Future, in 2014, over 70% patients aged above 50 years demanded for digital healthcare services. Demand for diagnostic medical imaging in a large integrated health system is growing at a faster pace due to rising popularity among patients and physicians. Furthermore, increased demand for universalization of medical image archiving and storage of all formats of medical data is expected to fuel PACS market growth during the forecast timeframe.

Adoption of Electronic Medical Records (EMR)/Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems has increased globally. Majority of EMR/EHR systems have trouble supporting imaging information, which represents a significant amount of a patient’s medical record. PACS solutions support an easy, open and unified interface for transferring imaging studies to EMR/EHR systems, so that clinicians gain a complete view of a patient’s history and current condition. This will lead to a higher level of patient care with more accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Increasing government initiatives to implement PACS systems

Various government initiatives, across the globe support healthcare IT adoption due to enormous benefits and importance. Adoption of connected healthcare solutions, like PACS, RIS, PHR and EHR have grown with the surge in requirements to improve the overall quality of healthcare services. The push to increase adoption through regulatory requirements in the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act (2009) has raised physicians’ levels of awareness about electronic health records (EHRs). Efficient and flexible PACS solutions can play an important role as healthcare institutions struggle to handle an accelerating demand for imaging services while simultaneously containing costs and ensuring a high level of care. PACS solutions need to deliver a comprehensive suite of embedded clinical tools, share a common workflow among disparate systems, embrace thin-client and mobile environments, seamlessly integrate with EMR/EHRs and health information exchanges, and offer flexible business models.
