Radiology Information Systems Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Product, By Deployment Mode (Web-based, On-premise, Cloud-based), By End Use, By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2022 - 2030

Report Overview

The global radiology information systems market size was valued at USD 822.3 million in 2021 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1% from 2022 to 2030. The market is expected to grow due to the increasing population, rising number of radiology professionals and practices, investments in R&D activities, and preference for cloud-based solutions. Moreover, the number of patients suffering from chronic diseases such as cancer, COPD, arthritis, osteoporosis, and others has increased significantly in recent years. This is increasing the demand for medical imaging which in turn is driving the radiology information system (RIS) market growth.

Computerized medical imaging provides interactive documents that are secure and convenient. These documents can be accessed across various healthcare departments. RIS provides a communication link between primary physicians and imaging departments for better care coordination, which can be beneficial for the timely diagnosis or treatment of the patients. Such factors are anticipated to bode well for market growth.

Healthcare providers using certified RIS software are eligible to receive financial incentives. The care providers need to demonstrate stage 2 meaningful use of the software. Eligible professionals receive upwards of USD 63,750 from Medicaid and upwards of USD 44,000 from Medicare. This government initiative is a major contributor to the increased adoption of RIS software by radiologists and medical imaging professionals.

Modern medical informatics solutions offer many benefits by integrating general HIS with other software such as Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) for diagnostic images and RIS for scheduling and diagnostic reporting. In April 2019, Hologic, Inc. announced the launch of the Trident HD specimen in Canada. The Trident HD system is an advanced radiography solution delivering enhanced image quality and workflow, along with quick sample verification in breast-conserving procedures and stereotactic breast biopsies.

COVID-19 Radiology Information Systems Impact: 11.5% Increase from 2020 to 2021

RIS surge the efficiency of recording and billing activities. Further, healthcare facilities such as hospitals are also progressively using cloud technology and related services to improve operational efficiency. In addition, heavy investment by the medical institutions in developed countries is boosting market growth. For instance, in September 2019, FUJIFILM Corporation installed SYNAPSE in Peerless Hospital in India. SYNAPASE will provide hospitals with various IT solutions such as Synapse PACS, Radis RIS, and others.

Deployment Mode Insights

Based on deployment mode, the RIS market is segmented into, web-based, on-premise, and cloud-based. The web-based segment dominated the market with a share of 77.6% in 2021. Web-based RIS is designed to evolve clinical and business needs across the continuum of care and help connect patient information to any required destination. For instance, McKesson’s RIS features a wide range of Electronic Health records (EHR) and offers cloud-based and server-based solutions, enhancing physician workflow and quality care.

The cloud-based segment is expected to have a significant growth rate during the forecast period. Compared to the direct purchase model, cloud-hosted services are very affordable. Instead of purchasing the entire model, consumers can subscribe to the latest version at a low price. Since data is stored on external servers, cloud-based systems are easily accessible online. Cloud-based RIS can be integrated with Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms to form comprehensive software. Such AI tools allow physicians to provide accurate and faster diagnosis and can be integrated with any third-party AI tool.

Small to medium-sized hospitals that cannot afford to spend on high-end hardware are particularly well suited for the cloud-based RIS due to their low cost. Additionally, cloud-based RIS allows doctors and medical professionals to control, who has access to personal data, thereby ensuring greater safety. On the other hand, the on-premise segment is expected to register slow growth during the forecast period.

Product Insights

Based on the product, the market is bifurcated into, integrated RIS and standalone RIS. The integrated RIS segment dominated the overall market in 2021. RIS and PACS have their database, especially, if both systems are obtained from separate vendors. However, integrated RIS includes RIS-PACS solution with a single worklist generated during registration improving workflow processes across the business platform. The growth of integrated RIS has simplified and streamlined workflows within radiology departments, allowing staff to focus on the task at hand.

Traditionally, radiology service providers used RIS to track individual images and associated data. However, with the extensive use of EHR platforms and the wide adoption of digitized images and PACS systems, radiology departments include a comprehensive clinical workflow of the entire medical facility within the RIS.

The standalone RIS segment is expected to grow owing to increasing government initiatives to boost the adoption of RIS. For instance, in February 2020, the Government of Uttarakhand partnered with KareXpert Technologies. Under the terms of the agreement, the company would expand its RIS/PACS, HIMS, EMR/EHR.telemedicine, and other services in the Nainital district.

End-Use Insights

In terms of end-use, the market is segmented into hospitals & clinics, outpatient department, and others. Hospitals and clinics held the maximum revenue share in 2021. The major installation of RIS is in hospitals to maintain the patient record in the form of a database that consists of comprehensive data for scheduling, patient tracking, image tracking, and result reporting.

Big healthcare IT corporations are involved in the integration of all hospital database that connects all the systems and equipment of a care setting. For instance, Infosys HIS  focuses mainly on the EMR and IT-driven clinical transformation to maximize value for products by including RIS, Laboratory Information System (LIS), Pharmacy Information System (PIS), and Practice Management System (PMS).

The outpatient department (OPD) is expected to show considerable growth during the forecast period. This can be attributed to the increase in the number of outpatient visits. Furthermore, a gradual shift of patients towards outpatient settings and improving health coverage are favoring the growth of the segment.

Regional Insights

North America led the overall market with a revenue share of 40.7% in 2021. The U.S. market growth can be attributed to the advancement in the RIS, an increase in the number of radiologists, and the introduction of new software systems by current providers. The launch of comprehensive RIS with integrated PACS has made the medical imaging procedure systematic and easier resulting in patient compliance and further leading to regional growth.

The Asia Pacific, on the other hand, is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The rising number of outsourcing services in the Asia Pacific along with growing awareness about the importance of workflow management at hospitals, clinics, and diagnostic laboratories is responsible for the demand for RIS in the region.

Europe is projected to become the second largest region during the forecast period, owing to the early adoption of advanced technologies and the increasing prevalence of diseases in this region. The market in MEA is likely to propel owing to improving health infrastructure and rising investment in healthcare IT.

Key Companies & Market Share Insights

The market is characterized by an increase in partnerships and acquisitions to strengthen the market presence of the players. For instance, in March 2019, Koninklijke Philips N.V.announced that it signed an agreement to acquire the Healthcare Information Systems (HCIS) business of Carestream Health Inc., a medical imaging and healthcare IT solutions provider for imaging centers and other specialty medical clinics. The deal is expected to expand Philips’s geographical reach, medical imaging customer base, and healthcare IT portfolio.
