Teleradiology Market Forecasts to 2028 - Global Analysis By Technology (Software, Services), Application (Dental, Cardiology, Oncology), End User, and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Teleradiology Market is accounted for $7.43 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach $22.71 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 17.3% during the forecast period. Teleradiology is a branch of telemedicine that involves the transmission of radiological images and related data from one location to another for diagnostic and consulting purposes. It is a progressive technology that has developed because of the imbalance between the need and availability of diagnostic services.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increasing number of advanced imaging procedures

The rise in imaging procedures is likely to drive the demand for advanced teleradiology solutions for reliability and efficiency. A high degree of technical skill and expertise is needed to handle advanced and sophisticated diagnostic imaging systems, thus fueling the growing complexity of cases with a shortage of adequate resources. The implementation of teleradiology solutions has helped bridge the rural-urban disparity in many emerging countries as well as developed economies. These solutions are more convenient and cost-effective as they remove the need for travel and allow radiologists to work from anywhere.

Restraint:

Insufficient integration of patient history with data security concerns

Insufficient integration of patient history data, and also the concerns associated with patient data security are restraining the market growth. Data integration includes the lack of a standard format for the data, and also a lack of a holistic approach for the handling of data. Several misconceptions in relation to the privacy of patients' data and data and many healthcare organizations have an incomplete understanding of laws governing data privacy and sharing, which leads to the creation of these major factors restraining the global market growth.

Opportunity:

Adoption of artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence is one of the most promising technology in the field of teleradiology. The adoption of artificial intelligence is higher in CT and MRI systems; likewise, based on applications, artificial intelligence is majorly used in neuroradiology. Many players in this market have increased their offerings in the field of artificial intelligence. AI can help create an inbuilt system that prioritizes cases based on a protocol requirement. Cases of trauma and stroke can be prioritized and assigned to the radiologist's work lists, thereby saving many lives, which is providing ample opportunities for the growth of the market.

Threat:

Limited access to high-speed internet in rural areas

Radiologists working remotely require a good internet connection. The lack of high-speed broadband connections affects expanding access to teleradiology services in rural areas. The limited access to high-speed internet connection affects the ability of radiologists to join in video consultations, transmit medical image reports, and monitor patients' health conditions remotely. Therefore, the lack of a reliable internet connection or poor broadband connections in rural areas is acting as a threat to the expansion of the global market.

The software segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The software segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth as increasing demand for healthcare software has driven software companies to improve interoperability, enhance technical capabilities, and increase data transparency. Many hospitals are deploying teleradiology software solutions to improve the efficiency of healthcare providers and improve patient outcomes.

The hospitals and clinics segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The hospitals and clinics segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period owing to the increasing number of diagnostic imaging procedures performed in hospitals, the growing inclination of hospitals towards the automation and digitization of patient records, and the rising need to improve the quality of patient care.

Region with highest share:

North America is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period due to increased funding by government agencies and a rise in focus on the use of teleradiology services in diagnostic centers, ambulatory surgical centers, hospitals in this region. Adoption of advanced teleradiology solutions, coupled with the increasing prevalence of chronic and medical emergencies and the increasing number of patients in remote locations are other factors boosting growth in the region.

Region with highest CAGR:

Asia Pacific is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period owing to increasing awareness about the benefits of early disease diagnosis, developments in healthcare systems, growing medical tourism market, increasing healthcare expenditure, and government initiatives for modernizing healthcare infrastructure. Recent developments in the Asia Pacific such as Philips launch of teleradiology services in China, and the presence of a huge potential population in the region with no access to immediate radiologists' support, together are likely to drive the market.
