The global VNA & PACS market size was USD 2399.5 million in 2021. As per our research, the market is expected to reach USD 3593 million in 2031, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.1% during the forecast period.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the VNA & PACS market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

VNA and PACS are two distinct systems used in the medical field for managing and storing medical imaging data. Firstly, Vendor Neutral Archive (VNA) is a specialized system used to store and manage medical imaging data, such as X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, ultrasounds, and more. The primary purpose of a VNA is to provide a centralized and standardized repository for medical images from various imaging modalities and healthcare departments. Whares, PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) is a comprehensive system used for the storage, retrieval, distribution, and presentation of medical images. It is specifically designed for healthcare organizations to manage and view images from different imaging modalities.

The market is projected to rise with an outstanding CAGR during the forecast 2022-2031 due to the increasing demand for the digitalization of medical imaging data and the benefits it offers over traditional film-based systems. In addition, the market is bifurcated by type and by application. With respect of the type of application, hospitals are the prominent application segment of the market which spike in the demand for the system.

COVID-19 Impact: Pandemic Highlighted the Importance of Data Interoperability and Integration

The COVID-19 pandemic had a profound impact on the markets. With social distancing measures in place, there was a surge in the adoption of telemedicine, leading to increased demand for remote access to medical images stored in VNAs and PACS. As healthcare facilities faced unprecedented patient loads, it emphasized the need for efficient medical imaging management using PACS solutions. Besides, supply chain disruptions affected equipment delivery and installation, while the pandemic highlighted the importance of data interoperability and integration. As a result, healthcare organizations accelerated their digital transformation efforts to support remote healthcare services effectively which is expected to continue to grow in the coming years.
