Global teleradiology market was valued at USD 3.6 billion in 2019. It is expected to grow at 13.9% CAGR over the forecast period. The market's most important driver is the rising demand for teleradiology in emergency situations and second opinions. A shortage of healthcare professionals, particularly in sub-specialist areas like pediatrics, neurology, and muscle and skeletal radiology, has led to the adoption of teleradiology services. Teleradiology allows healthcare professionals to access patient information regardless of distance. This improves diagnostic coverage. The market is expected to grow during the forecast period due to increasing adoption of teleradiology in timely diagnosis.
Other factors that will increase the demand for teleradiology services are the integration of Artificial Intelligence into teleradiology, the implementation of Picture Archiving and Communication System and the growing R&D activities pertaining eHealth. HDM World, a Latin American teleradiology service provider, selected RamSoft's PowerServer PACS as its data communication system. This will allow for faster diagnosis by increasing the speed and safety in patient data transfers.
Teleradiology applications include teleconsultation and telemonitoring. These allow radiologists to efficiently do their day-to-day work. Teleradiology offers on-site solutions through a global cloud network and real-time interpretation. The market is expected to grow due to rising incidences of chronic diseases like breast cancer, osteomyelitis and cellulitis. There are also increasing numbers of emergency cases in less developed countries.
Favorable government initiatives, such as the 1996 Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of the United States, ensure that all patient data is protected from cybercrimes. This act must be adhered to by every U.S. teleradiology service. These initiatives increase physician and patient confidence in teleradiology services, which will lead to a higher adoption rate over the forecast period. Market growth will also be supported by the availability of healthcare coverage for teleradiology services in Australia and the U.S.
The market for teleradiology can be divided by product into three segments: nuclear radiology (X-ray), and MRI. CT is the only segment that does not include ultrasound. In 2019, X-ray was the most dominant segment and was worth USD 1.1 million. The segment's dominance is due to its affordability, high use in primary diagnosis, as well as the introduction of new systems like filmless xray systems. X-rays are used in many healthcare areas, including orthopedics, cardiology, chest imaging and cancer screening.
The segment Computed Tomography (CT), is expected to experience the most growth during the forecast period. CT allows for faster and more detailed images of complex organs such as the brain, heart, and lungs. This contributes to segment growth. This field is expected to grow with technological advances and digitalization. In March 2019, Siemens Healthineers launched a Go platform cardiac CT scanner.
The forecast period will also see a healthy growth in the ultrasound segment. It is a valuable technology for those with limited resources due to its ability to quickly access critical health parameters without radiation. Teleradiology-based ultrasound devices can be used extensively to provide education and training programs for healthcare workers in remote locations. Philips and PURE, an organization that is not for profit, offer training on the use of tele-ultrasound technology for healthcare workers in Rwanda, Africa.
The largest market share for teleradiology in 2019 was held by hospitals. This segment is expected to continue growing at a rapid pace during the forecast period. Teleradiology is used by hospitals for primary diagnosis, urgent care and second opinions. These services are preferred for emergency care. Teleradiology services can be used to quickly diagnose and deliver treatment if the patient is suffering from severe head trauma. The segment will be driven by an increase in hospital emergency visits over the forecast period.
The forecast period will see the Ambulatory Imaging Centers (AICs) grow at the fastest rate due to rising demand for imaging procedures and a shortage of radiologists. The time it takes to diagnose an imaging procedure is the most important problem. According to the National Health Service (NHS), in England, the average wait time for an MRI test was 21 days in 2018. AICs help to reduce this time for diagnosis, which is driving the increasing adoption of teleradiology for different imaging procedures.
The segment of radiology clinics is expected to expand at a steady pace over the forecast period. This segment is expected to grow in revenue due to the high pay scale for radiologists and rising imaging costs.
North America was the market leader with a 39.5% share in 2019. It is expected to continue its dominance for the next few years. The region's dominant position is due to its growing target population, rising prevalence of chronic diseases, as well as the presence of key market players. The region's market will be driven by a strong infrastructure and supportive government initiatives. There is also a growing demand for teleradiology solutions that are efficient.
In 2019, a large portion of market revenue was accounted for by Europe. Market growth is expected to be driven by the increasing number of awareness programs on teleradiology and its applications being held in Europe. After being held in Italy last year, the 8th International Conference on Medical Informatics and Telemedicine (ICMI) will be held in Switzerland in 2020. These conferences will increase awareness and support innovation in teleradiology, which is expected to aid market growth.
Asia Pacific will experience the fastest growth during the forecast period. This is due to the high unmet healthcare need and rapidly expanding healthcare infrastructure. A large portion of the population in developing countries like India and China resides in rural areas. This is because they have very limited access to healthcare facilities. Hospitals and other organizations are now looking to tap into this market, recognizing the potential benefits for the bottom half of the pyramid. This will increase demand for cost-effective diagnostic services such as teleradiology, particularly in countries that have inefficient coverage policies.
4ways Healthcare Ltd. and HealthWatch TeleDiagnostics Pvt. are key players in this market. Ltd., RamSoft, Inc., Everlight Radiology, Virtual Radiologic, Agfa-Gevaert N.V., ONRAD, Teleradiology Solutions, and Global Diagnostics. To improve their services and capabilities, these companies have used strategies like new product development, collaborations, partnerships, and M&As.
