Analysis of Market Size & Trends

The Global Healthcare Cloud Picture Archiving & Communications System Market size is expected to reach $800.7 Million by 2026, rising at a market growth of 8.4% CAGR during the forecast period. Healthcare Cloud Picture archiving and communication system (PACS) refers to a technology that is used in medical imaging particularly in clinical settings for storage and communication.

This technology offers cost-efficient and manageable access to images from various source modalities like ultrasound, nuclear medicine, X-ray plain film (PF), computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography (PET). The advanced healthcare practices depend on various resources which develop demand for IT technologies to incorporate these resources, thereby creating a beneficial environment for the deployment of Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS).

The growing requirements to store, manage, and transfer the day-by-day increasing healthcare information is a major factor boosting the adoption of these solutions. PACS (picture archiving & communication system) assists in reducing the overloading of data and speeds up disease detection. Moreover, the technological advancements regarding healthcare solutions and the co-existence of healthcare and IT solutions have boosted the growth of the market. Cloud-based PACS provides safe and secure storage of data. It is because PACSs are less prone to damage resulted from hardware, and hence patient data is safe. Additionally, the rising demand for medical and clinical image storage in all forms, combined with the increased utilization of image archiving, is anticipated to boost the healthcare cloud PACS market growth.
