The departmental picture archiving and communication system market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.49 billion in 2025 to $3.74 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growing digitization of hospital imaging records, increasing adoption of radiology information systems, rising demand for faster diagnostic workflows, expansion of diagnostic imaging procedures, increasing healthcare infrastructure modernization initiatives.
The departmental picture archiving and communication system market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.99 billion by 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising adoption of cloud-based PACS platforms, increasing integration of AI-assisted diagnostic imaging tools, growing demand for secure healthcare data sharing solutions, expansion of telehealth and remote diagnostics services, increasing investments in interoperable healthcare IT systems. Major trends in the forecast period include growing adoption of vendor neutral image archiving systems, increasing demand for multi-department imaging interoperability, rising focus on faster radiology reporting workflows, expanding implementation of remote diagnostic image access platforms, increasing preference for integrated clinical collaboration solutions.
The increasing adoption of digital healthcare infrastructure is expected to propel the growth of the departmental picture archiving and communication system (PACS) market going forward. Digital healthcare infrastructure refers to the integration and utilization of technologies such as electronic health records (EHRs), telemedicine platforms, digital therapeutics, and interoperable IT systems that enable secure storage, retrieval, sharing, and use of health information across clinical settings. The rise in digital healthcare adoption is driven by healthcare systems investing in advanced technologies to improve care delivery efficiency, enhance access to services, and support evidence-based decision-making. Departmental PACS supports and contributes to digital healthcare infrastructure by offering specialized imaging storage and communication solutions that integrate with broader digital health systems and streamline clinical workflows. For instance, in December 2024, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a US-based national public health agency, the percentage of office-based physicians using electronic health records systems was 88.2%, while the adoption of certified EHR systems stood at 77.8%. Therefore, the increasing adoption of digital healthcare infrastructure is propelling the growth of the departmental picture archiving and communication system (PACS) market.
Leading companies operating in the departmental picture archiving and communication system (PACS) market are focusing on developing advanced cloud-based imaging platforms integrated with artificial intelligence (AI) to streamline clinical workflows, improve diagnostic accuracy, and enhance operational efficiency. Cloud-based imaging platforms integrated with artificial intelligence (AI) are advanced solutions that store medical images on the cloud while using AI to enhance analysis, enable remote access, and improve diagnostic accuracy and workflow efficiency. For example, in November 2023, Koninklijke Philips N. V., a Netherlands-based health technology company, launched HealthSuite Imaging, a cloud-based next-generation of Vue PACS, at the Radiological Society of North America Annual Meeting (RSNA 2023). This solution integrates AI-enabled clinical and operational workflows designed to optimize radiology processes, support faster diagnosis, and improve collaboration across healthcare systems.
In August 2023, Experity, a US-based provider of on-demand healthcare IT solutions, including electronic medical records, practice management, patient engagement, and teleradiology services, acquired OnePACS for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Experity aims to strengthen its teleradiology offerings and improve departmental PACS capabilities by incorporating OnePACS’ cloud-based, multi-user imaging platform to provide a fully technology-enabled diagnostic service for urgent care clinics. OnePACS is a US-based company offering a SaaS departmental picture archiving and communication system (PACS) platform designed for teleradiology.
