The medical image analysis software market was valued at $3.9 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach $12.3 billion by 2031, registering a CAGR of 12.2% from 2022 to 2031.
The application of medical image analysis software enables quantitative analysis and visualization of medical images of numerous modalities such as PET, MRI, CT, or microscopy. The applications of enabling both manual and automated analysis of 3D medical images unlocks various opportunities to the benefit of providers and patients. It includes machine learning systems to facilitate early diagnostics for higher cure and survival rates, neural networks for diagnosis validation, research-specific algorithms to find hidden patterns and valuable insights to improve drug development. It may also include the examination of complex imaging types with adverse symptoms segmentation solutions to pinpoint a treatment area and thus minimizing possible damage to healthy tissue during an invasive procedure, applications integrating 3D imaging with virtual reality (VR) devices to enable immersive training of health specialists, patient education, and advanced diagnostics. Integrating advanced technologies into the image interpretation pipeline can help the healthcare sector address challenges associated with large amounts of data. Custom software development of medical image analysis tools is a critical step in this process.
The growth of the medical image analysis software market is driven by increasing incidence of chronic diseases, rise in demand for health care services for the aging population, and continuous developments in the field of imaging technology, such as computer-aided diagnosis (CAD). Moreover, the rise in the geriatric population and growing adoption of ultrasound imaging systems to facilitate faster diagnosis of chronic diseases is expected to notably contribute toward the market growth. Furthermore, the global medical image analysis software market growth is largely driven by factors such as an increase in advancements of medical imaging software which is expected to lead to the growth of the market. Prominent players in the global medical image analysis software market have opted various strategies such as product launch, acquisition, and investments in R&D for advancement in medical image analysis software to strengthen their position in the market and sustain the competitive environment.
A significant increase in awareness about the advantages of medical imaging software products, rise in the usage of software in medical imaging, and surge in the number of patients suffering from diseases are some of the key factors driving the growth of the market. However, the security risks of data stored concerns and high installation cost and maintenance hamper the market growth. Conversely, introduction of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in medical imaging has changed the market dynamics in the forecast period which is expected to provide lucrative opportunities for the growth of the market. Extensive R&D activities in the field of medical imaging along with significant improvement in medical infrastructure are anticipated to open new avenues for the expansion of the market.
