PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication Systems) plays an important role in the migration of imaging facilities towards a ‘film-less’ environment. Today many vendors provide PACS integrated with RIS (Radiology Information System); this has added value to the solution. However we believe that in future PACS will be regarded as an important module of integrated Hospital Information System (iHIS) and will be appreciated as an inseparable element.

The penetration of Picture Archiving and Communication Systems varies drastically across the world - with very low penetration rates in some parts of Africa and Asia to extremely good penetration rates in USA and parts of the Western Europe. Overall we see increase in all the regional PACS markets. We expect the Global PACS market to grow at double-digit growth rates during our forecast period.

We believe that the market opportunities for PACS vendors extend beyond the hospital walls. There are many smaller segments that can be targeted with an economic solution (e.g. Department-wide PACS). We also see greater scope for service providers with increasing need for storage, back-up and disaster recovery.
