Vendor Neutral Archive(VNA) & Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) Market
The "Vendor
Neutral Archive Market & PACS
Market - VNA [On-premise Software, Hybrid & Cloud, Multi-Department &
Multi-Site VNA] & Picture Archiving and Communication System [Enterprise,
Cardiology & Radiology] - Global Forecast to 2018"The
global VNA market is estimated at $165.3 million in 2013 and is poised to reach
$335.4 million by 2018, at a CAGR of 15.2%.
Vendor neutral archives are platforms aimed at empowering
healthcare organizations to control, manage, store, and consolidate imaging
data by streamlining the imaging workflow between PACS (Picture Archiving and
Communication Systems), EHRs (Electronic Health Records), and data centers.
Along with the global market for VNA, the PACS market is also given to provide
a comparative analysis of both the healthcare information systems. The product
lifecycles of each of these systems varies to a very large extent.

It is believed that the vendor neutral archives market is
positioned in a phase (exponential phase) where the PACS market was around 10
to 15 years ago. The PACS market, on the other hand, is a mature market that is
typically characterized by the market players trying to invest in product
differentiations and looking for new customer groups.
Based on the delivery mode, the market is categorized into
on-premise VNAs, hybrid VNAs, and fully cloud-hosted VNAs. On-premise VNAs
dominate the current market in terms of total revenue contribution due to the
high preference of this mode over others. This preference is as a result of
better data control and high security provided by on-premise VNA solutions.
However, owing to the large capital expenditure involved for on-premise VNAs,
hybrid VNA solutions that involve a cloud-based component for storage are now
capturing the attention of small and medium-sized healthcare providers.
The advantages of vendor neutral archives
over picture archiving and communication system in
terms of interoperability, flexibility, and accessibility are propelling the
adoption of the VNA technology in the market. Apart from this, favorable and
promising government reforms in the healthcare information technology field are
also stimulating the market. The major hindrances to the growth of the market
are rising incidences of data breaches, complexity of the VNA concept, lack of
a proper industry-accepted definition of VNAs, and long VNA lifecycles (that
impacts VNA deployment decisions). With this, the market is all set to witness
trends such as integration of VNAs with EHRs, employment of cloud computing
solutions for VNA products, and a holistic approach for delivering enhanced
patient care.

Report For This Report@
North
America is the largest contributor to this market and is valued at $140.3
million in 2013. Through acts such as HITECH (Healthcare Insurance Portability
and Accountability) and ACA (Affordable Care), the U.S. market is expected to
witness growing adoptions of EHRs and VNAs and hospital consolidations. The
European market is poised to grow at a high double-digit CAGR of 16.6%, with the
biggest market being U.K. owing to the presence of huge NHS trusts that
purchase VNAs on a very large scale. Australia, China, and Japan are the next
promising regions for embracement of this technology due to the
government-supported nation-wide healthcare reforms taking place in these
regions.
