PACS and RIS are medical imaging technologies that enable digitization of patient records, workflow enhancements and streamline communication between radiologists and other clinicians. These systems assist radiologists and hospitals in managing medical imaging reports and images through a centralized database. They help improve productivity of radiology departments by reducing waiting time for reports, easier access to studies from different locations and centralized storage reduces physical space requirements.

The global PACS and RIS Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 3657 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.7% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market Dynamics:

One of the key driver for the growth of PACS and RIS market is the increasing adoption of digital radiology. Digital radiology provides advantages such as automated workflow, remote access to studies, reduced radiation exposure to patients and clinicians compared to traditional analog radiography. According to American College of Radiology, around 90% of radiology practices in the US have completely switched to digital radiography as of 2021. This rising replacement of conventional analog systems with digital modalities is fueling the demand for PACS and RIS to manage large volumes of digital images and reports. Furthermore, PACS and RIS solutions help hospitals achieve meaningful use of Electronic Health Records (EHR) by integrating radiology reports with other clinical data, thereby supporting healthcare reimbursement programs. This is further propelling various healthcare providers as well as independent radiology facilities to adopt these technologies.

SWOT Analysis

Strength: The PACS and RIS market has high demand in the healthcare industry. Physicians and radiologists rely heavily on PACS and RIS solutions to store, manage and view patient medical images and reports digitally which saves time and provides easy accessibility from anywhere. The digital nature of PACS and RIS also improves security and management of sensitive patient data.

Weakness: Implementing new PACS and RIS solutions requires high upfront investments which may not be affordable for some small hospitals and clinics. The integration of legacy systems with new PACS and RIS can also be challenging. Healthcare organizations also need to regularly upgrade their PACS and RIS solutions to keep up with changing technology standards and regulations.

Opportunity: Growing aging population is driving the demand for better healthcare facilities across major countries. This increases the need for digitalization of patient information using advanced PACS and RIS. There is also an opportunity to develop integrated solutions combining PACS, RIS with other healthcare IT systems like EMR, telehealth, AI etc to provide a unified patient care experience. Emerging markets in Asia Pacific and Latin America offer further growth prospects.

Threats: Changes in regulations related to data privacy and security pose risks as PACS and RIS handle sensitive patient data. Cyber threats targeting healthcare networks can compromise image data integrity and availability. Economic slowdowns can temporarily impact the budgets of healthcare providers for new capital investments. Intense competition from global and regional players limits pricing flexibility.

Key Takeaways

Global PACS And RIS Market Demand is expected to witness high growth over the forecast period of 2023 to 2030 driven by increasing need for digital healthcare services. The market size is projected to reach US$ 3657 Mn in 2023 and register a CAGR of 6.7% during the forecast period.
