United States Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) Market is About to Reach $3.3 billion by 2020, Finds New Report

Picture Archiving and Communication Systems Market to 2020 - Digitization of Healthcare Systems and Evolution of PACS as a Decision Support Tool Drive Growth

Government initiatives will continue to encourage the digitization of healthcare systems and promote technical advances in imaging informatics. Moreover, the awareness of the importance of digitizing image storage, retrieval and sharing has led to expansion of the use of PACS to other medical specialties such as oncology and endoscopy. This expansion will further result in increased usage of PACS in cardiology imaging, which will in turn drive revenue growth during the forecast period.

An increasing need for upgrades to conventional PACS systems to new, feature-rich PACS that enable interoperability and flexibility in image viewing will drive future growth in the developed world. Developed economies such as the US and Europe will primarily be replacement markets for PACS systems as penetration is already high. However, companies are shifting their focus to developing economies, where penetration is low. A lack of reimbursement and affordability, however, means that countries such as India and China will require low-cost PACS units. There is therefore an urgent need for companies to develop affordable PACS systems that do not compromise on features such as integration with Electronic Medical Records (EMR) and Radiology Information Systems (RIS). This will allow them to sustain revenue growth during the forecast period, as intense competition will continue to drive down the prices of PACS systems.

Government Efforts towards Healthcare IT Implementation and Technical Advances will Continue to Drive Future Growth:
Technical advances in PACS in combination with initiatives from both the public and private sector have contributed to the increasing adoption of PACS by healthcare providers. Rising healthcare cost burdens and demographic changes have forced governments worldwide to improve healthcare delivery services while also reducing costs. This has placed increasing pressure on governments to address financial constraints and improve efficiency and affordability in healthcare. The global population is forecast to reach 9.1 billion by 2050 and the population aged 65 years and above is expected to double by 2050 (United Nations News Centre, 2013). Aging populations will result in an increase in the prevalence of chronic diseases worldwide, which will be accompanied by growing image volumes for diagnosis. These trends have forced governments to initiate efforts in increasing the adoption of PACS to improve hospital productivity and clinical outcomes.

Governments in the developed world have announced several economic and legislative incentives to promote the adoption of healthcare Information Technology (IT) in their countries. The Chinese government has spent close to $500 billion since the launch of its healthcare reforms in 2009, with a significant portion of this investment being made on the adoption of healthcare IT in China (gbtimes, 2014).

Supply-side initiatives to improve PACS systems have spurred technical advances in the recent past. Cloud-based PACS and web-based PACS solutions are some of the examples of advancements that have led to increasing adoption of PACS in recent years. These Software-as-a Service (SaaS) models have expanded the use of PACS in small- and medium-sized hospitals. Other technical advances such as speech recognition capabilities and decision support systems will continue to drive the demand for PACS.

Technical advances have transformed PACS from being a mere storage and viewing tool to being a decision support system that helps in accurate diagnosis of chronic diseases. The ability to integrate EMR and other information systems to PACS has led to companies developing one-stop PACS solutions that can store, retrieve and share images within various hospital departments such as cardiology, oncology and mammography. This is another factor that will help companies to exploit the market potential for PACS over the forecast period.

The US is the Largest Market for Picture Archiving and Communication Systems:
The US market for PACS was valued at $1.7 billion in 2013 and is forecast to reach $3.3 billion by 2020, growing at a CAGR of 8%. It is the largest market for PACS and accounts for 58% of global revenue. The US is followed by Japan, which accounted for 23% of the global market. Europe and Asia-Pacific contributed the remaining shares of the global market. The penetration of radiology PACS is already high in US hospitals, and therefore future growth is expected to be subdued. However, the penetration of PACS in other major applications such as cardiology and oncology is significantly lower. This provides an opportunity for the leading companies in this market to develop feature-rich PACS products that can not only store and retrieve diagnostic images but also help as part of the clinical decision support system. Many hospitals in the US are also considering upgrading their conventional PACS systems with new systems that are web-enabled and support interoperability with different vendors for integration with EMR and other information systems. The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, with its three staged meaningful adoption mandates and significant financial incentives, will continue to increase the adoption of PACS in the US. Increasing preference for mobile IT applications, SaaS based services and standardization of data archiving will further drive the growth of PACS during the forecast period.

Top Four Companies Account for More than 50% of the Global Market:
In 2013, the top four companies accounted for more than 50% of the global PACS market. The global market is a fragmented one with no company having a dominant position in 2013. GE Healthcare (16.4%), Fujifilm (14.1%) and Philips Healthcare (12.4%) were the leaders in the PACS market in 2013. Agfa Healthcare (10.2%), McKesson (9%), Merge Healthcare (7.1%), Carestream Health (6.5%) and Siemens Healthcare (5.6%) also had significant presence in this market. Fujitsu (3.5%) had a minor presence in the global PACS market. GE Healthcare dominates the global market due to its widespread geographical presence. GE Healthcare is the leader in the North American region and has the second largest presence in terms of revenue in the Asia-Pacific region. GE Healthcare’s presence in the Asia-Pacific region is expected to benefit the company as it stands to gain from the rapidly growing economies of countries such as India and China in the Asia-Pacific region. GE Healthcare has a strong portfolio of PACS systems with specifications catering to imaging centers of all sizes.

U.S. Market for Soft Tissue Reinforcement and Regeneration 2015, New Report Launched

U.S. Market for Soft Tissue Reinforcement and Regeneration 2015


The U.S. market for soft tissue reinforcement and regeneration includes medical graft devices that are designed to reinforce and regenerate soft tissues. Soft tissues are defined as aggregations of similarly specialized cells which collectively function to connect, support or surround other structures and organs of the body. These tissues include tendons, ligaments, fascia, skin, fibrous tissues, fat, synovial membranes, muscles, nerves and blood vessels. Collagen, the most abundant protein in mammals, is one of the characteristic elements inside the extracellular matrix of soft tissue and, as such, plays a critical role in soft tissue repair. Since soft tissue essentially makes up the majority of a person and there are countless medical conditions associated with soft tissue problems, a select group of large markets related to soft tissue repair will be covered in this report, including breast reconstruction, hernia repair, dural repair, vaginal slings, skin repair, sports medicine and tendon reinforcement, and dental soft tissue regeneration.

There are three primary classes of soft tissue repair devices; allografts, xenografts, and alloplasts.

The U.S. soft tissue reinforcement and regeneration market consists of specialized grafting devices utilized for the surgical treatment of a broad range of indications. While synthetic alloplast products have been traditionally used, newer biologic products have been gaining traction in this market. These new products offer superior regenerative results by expediting the healing process and reducing the likelihood of further post-operative complications.

Biologic products have a significantly higher cost, but in most cases, the added benefits they offer outweigh their premium prices. The increasing unit sales of these specialized biologic products combined with their substantially higher ASP will fuel strong growth in the overall market.

The breast reconstruction market will more than double in value over the forecast period. Exceptionally strong double-digit growth will be driven by increases in unit sales volumes. The breast reconstruction market will more than double in value over the forecast period. Exceptionally strong double-digit growth will be driven by increases in unit sales volumes.

The incidence of breast cancer in younger women has been increasing in the United States; this population is more likely to opt for both mastectomy and breast reconstruction. The vast majority of breast reconstructions were tissue expander/implant–based (TEI) reconstructions. The remaining procedures were performed with autologous tissue, using techniques such as latissimus dorsi myocutaneous (LDM) flap, deep inferior epigastric perforators (DIEP) flap and transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM) flap.

U.S., 2011 – 2021

In the last few decades, there has been an ongoing trend in the U.S. for women to undergo a prophylactic double mastectomy for preventative measures, even if breast cancer was only diagnosed in one breast. If the patient then decides to undergo breast reconstruction, both breasts must be completely rebuilt. This has caused the rate of bilateral reconstructions to skyrocket and has dramatically impacted the growth of the breast reconstruction market, as one product is usually used for each breast during a reconstructive procedure.

The U.S. Wound Management Market is Expected to Reach $10billion by 2020; Reveals New Report

U.S. Market for Wound and Tissue Management 2014


The wound and tissue management market includes wound closure devices; static and dynamic compression therapy; moist, antimicrobial, interactive wound dressings; non-adherent contact layers; hemostats; tissue sealants; anti-adhesion; and negative pressure wound therapy.  This report details the expected growth rates, average selling prices (ASP) and market values of these interlinked segments.

The U.S. Wound Management Market growth will be driven by the introduction of new products that will be easier to use. However, this will be hindered by changes to reimbursement, specific to the U.S. interactive dressings market. The interactive dressings market is further segmented into collagen dressings and skin substitutes. The interactive dressings market experienced double digit growth in 2013 and the emergence of many new players in the market.

The U.S market for wound and tissue management was driven by the introduction of newly FDA-approved products, and by demand due to the aging population, and increasing rates of both obesity and diabetes. The advanced wound dressings segment exhibited the highest growth in 2013. This growth will be due to the rising popularity of foam dressings, antimicrobial dressings and the influx of competitors and innovative products in the interactive dressing market. The reimbursement changes in 2014 will potentially have a negative impact on the growth of the interactive dressing market.

The range of products in the wound management industry is as diverse as the conditions they are meant to treat. The use of traditional dressings has stood the test of time and these will remain important products. This market will exhibit slow but healthy growth over the forecast period due to its sheer size. However, advanced dressings are the way of the future and there is still a large untapped potential market. Advanced dressings decrease the frequency a dressing must be changed and due to the commoditization of these products, the price gap between the two, traditional and advanced, is decreasing. Over the forecast period, companies which are able to modify and enhance their advanced dressing portfolio will be able to grow with the shift in product usage.

Growth in the negative pressure wound therapy market was significantly affected by the competitive bidding process. This market is expected to rebound and post growth in the high single-digits over the forecast period. Growth will be supplemented by improved reimbursement rates for single use negative pressure wound therapy pumps and an increase in the number of competitors.

Collagen Dressing Market, U.S. 2010 - 2020

With the baby boomers aging, the total number of people over the age of 65 is drastically increasing within the United States. With an aging population comes the requirement for more surgical procedures, all risking the possibility of circulatory issues. As a result, a greater number of devices used in surgery, such as wound closure devices, hemostats and tissue sealants, will be purchased. Therefore, sales of products that enhance circulation to treat lymphedema and chronic wounds are expected to increase to meet the growing demand of this population.

The wound and tissue management market is consistently changing through new reimbursement rates, FDA approval and product innovation. A company which was once a dominant player in a market can lose market share quickly due to a number of different factors. KCI continues to lead the negative pressure wound therapy market but their revenue was significantly affected by the competitive bidding process, which allowed Smith & Nephew to increase their market share. Shire, a once dominant player in the interactive dressing market, saw their revenue significantly decrease year-over-year due to their highlight product not receiving FDA approval for additional usage.

Report Highlights:
  • Introduction of newly FDA-approved products
  • Reimbursement change effects on the market
