Moreover, the compatibility of VNA with older data archival systems is another major driving factor for the studied market. For instance, an article titled “Advantages of Using a Vendor Neutral Archive for Your Enterprise” published in March 2022 stated that VNAs can assist healthcare providers to optimize their medical imaging operations and increase business growth with specific advantages along with enhanced interoperability and data exchange. Also, the article highlighted that some of the commercially available powerful VNAs offer the prominent advantage of acting as a single integration point for data stored by diverting the burden of integration from every separate clinical system connected to the organization’s network. Thus, the owing to the above-mentioned factors the market studied is expected to grow in the future.
Moreover, the engagement of major companies worldwide in the advancement of enterprise imaging is another driving factor for the market studied. For instance, in November 2021, GE Healthcare developed a next-generation, cloud-based Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) aiming to help healthcare organizations keep current with rapidly evolving technology. The subscription-based diagnostic imaging solution called Edison True PACS1 encompasses diagnostic reading, exam workflow, AI Applications, 3D post-processing, enterprise visualization, and archiving in a single platform. Thus, advances in the VNA and PACS segment are predicted to drive the market growth globally.
Thus, the studied market growth is attributed to the above-mentioned factors and the market is expected to grow significantly over the forecast period. However, the availability of long-term data affecting the decisions of service providers and long product life cycle are some factors that are predicted to hinder the market growth.
Key Market Trends
On-Site (Premise) Segment is Expected to Grow During the Forecast Period
The on-site model is the traditional model of software implementation. Healthcare facilities and hospitals largely prefer on-premises data storage to store and manage patient data. Customers use the on-site mode of delivery when they need to migrate to the new technology or modify their legacy systems. As VNA and PACS technologies are new technologies for a few of the end-users or service providers, they prefer the on-site mode of delivery. Hence, on-premises software is expected to account for the significant revenue share in the studied market, owing to the increasing adoption by service providers globally.
On-premises mode of delivery allows specialized integration with other existing business systems and this mode of delivery provides extra security because servers and data are physically located in service providers inside of the office. The article “On-Premises Vs Cloud: 6 Key Differences Between On-Premises and Cloud” published in May 2022 stated that on-premises software is deployed and maintained in-house at a physical office as opposed to being hosted on a vendor-supplied cloud. These run under company supervision, while the systems and data remain under the company’s control. Thus, the security associated with the mode of delivery is expected to drive the segment growth of the studied market.
Moreover, the innovation, product launch, and continuous activities by major players in the segment are booming the segment growth. Such as, in February, ScImage, Inc., a leading provider of cloud-centric enterprise imaging and reporting solutions launched its PICOM365 enterprise imaging workflow. This PICOM365 delivers full functioning capabilities of on-premises PACS software solutions and is powered by Microsoft Azure Cloud.
Therefore, owing to the factors mentioned earlier, the segment is expected to see growth over the forecast period.
North America is Expected to Dominate the Market Over the Forecast Period
