Market Scenario

The global medical imaging software market is expected to grow significantly over the forecast period. The market held a market value of USD 2.66 billion in 2017 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.4% over the forecast period. The medical imaging software has become the foundation of modern medical diagnostics by offering patient care and improved operating productivity. Medical imaging software aids healthcare professionals with ease of handling and greater flexibility while visualizing tissues, organs or other human body parts. Use of the medical imaging software has increased the accuracy and precision of medical diagnosis, treatment and disease supervision tremendously in recent years. The factors such as the emergence of 3D and 4D imaging technologies, growing government investment and funding’s for research in the modernization of medical imaging field are anticipated to boost the growth of the market over the forecast period.

Moreover, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases and cancer, increased healthcare expenditure, the rise in the number of diagnostic centers and rise in geriatric population are driving the growth of this market. According to the World Population Prospects by the United Nations, approximately 962 million older population aged 60 and above were present globally as of 2017. This represents about 13% of the global population. A study by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in 2015 reported that the utilization of imaging services among elderly patients (65 years and above) is at least twice as compared to that of the younger population. Despite the drivers, the high cost of equipment related to clinical validation and lack of skilled professionals may hinder the market growth during the assessment period.
