Teleradiology is a branch of telemedicine that involves transmitting radiological images from one location to another using telecommunication technology. This method facilitates the interpretation of various noninvasive imaging studies remotely.
The primary imaging modalities used in teleradiology include CT (Computed Tomography), MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), X-ray, ultrasound, and nuclear imaging. CT scans utilize detailed scans generated by a computer connected to x-ray equipment, providing in-depth views of internal body parts. They are instrumental in diagnosing diseases or injuries and in planning medical, surgical, or radiation-based treatments. Components of teleradiology encompass both hardware and software utilized in hospitals, diagnostic centers, and other end-user facilities to facilitate the transmission and interpretation of radiological images remotely.
The tele-radiology market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides tele-radiology market statistics, including tele-radiology industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a tele-radiology market share, detailed tele-radiology market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the tele-radiology industry. This teleradiology market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The tele-radiology market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $23.84 billion in 2024 to $28.16 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to quality improvement initiatives, digitalization of medical imaging, healthcare infrastructure development, geographical disparities in healthcare, regulatory changes and standards.
The tele-radiology market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $60.44 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to enhanced security measures, focus on patient-centric care, continue shortage of radiologists, rise in virtual consultations, globalization of healthcare services. Major trends in the forecast period include evolving patient expectations, regulatory framework adaptation, rise in diagnostic imaging studies, integration of artificial intelligence.
The growing demand for radiological services, driven by the rising prevalence of chronic conditions such as congestive heart failure and orthopedic injuries, is advancing the tele-radiology industry. The increase in the elderly population and the rise in geriatric diseases are significant contributors to the demand for radiological services, which will, in turn, boost teleradiology services. For example, in June 2024, the Royal College of Radiologists, a professional body based in England overseeing clinical oncology specialties, reported a 6.3% increase in the radiology workforce in 2023.
The growth in healthcare expenditure is expected to drive the optical imaging market forward. Healthcare expenditure refers to the total resources, usually quantified in monetary terms, that a country, organization, or individual allocates to healthcare-related goods and services over a specific timeframe. Increasing healthcare expenditure enables the adoption of advanced technologies and infrastructure necessary for teleradiology services, facilitating timely and efficient diagnostic processes. For instance, in June 2023, according to CMS (The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services), a US-based administrator of major healthcare programs, the National Health Expenditure Projections for 2023-2024 forecast a 5% growth rate in US health expenditures for the current year, rising to 5.1% the following year. Thus, the rise in healthcare expenditure is propelling the growth of the teleradiology market.
Technological advancement is a prominent trend in the teleradiology market, with key players focusing on the rapid adoption of current technologies and providing innovative AI-based healthcare solutions in remote radiology. For example, in April 2022, Tele-Radiology Solutions (TRS), a national tele-radiology company in the United States, announced an agreement with India-based Andhra Med Tech Zone (AMTZ) to establish a hub dedicated to providing remote radiology image reads by expert radiologists supported by innovative artificial intelligence solutions. Through this collaboration, TRS and AMTZ aim to reach pan-India government hospitals, state-wide rural health centers, and public-sector undertakings with hospitals, offering remote radiology services enhanced by AI solutions. This reflects the industry's commitment to leveraging advanced technologies for improved healthcare outcomes.
Major companies in the teleradiology market are strategically pursuing partnerships and collaborations with start-ups and mid-sized companies as part of their growth strategy. These alliances are aimed at expanding the range of products and services offered by the companies, facilitating portfolio diversification and geographical expansion. For example, in April 2022, Teleradiology Solutions (TRS), a US-based provider of teleradiology services, entered into a strategic partnership with Andhra Med Tech Zone (AMTZ), an India-based modern healthcare devices manufacturing company. This collaboration resulted in the establishment of a hub in the AMTZ zone dedicated to providing remote radiology image reads focused on the government and public sectors. Expert radiologists supported by innovative artificial intelligence (AI) solutions enhance the services provided. Through this partnership, AMTZ and TRS aim to reach pan-India government hospitals, state-wide rural health centers, and public-sector undertakings with hospitals, expanding the reach of remote radiology services.
In August 2023, Experity, a US-based healthcare solutions provider focused on on-demand care with integrated EMR and practice management, acquired OnePACS for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition allows Experity to incorporate OnePACS' advanced cloud-based Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) into its services, improving the delivery and accessibility of high-quality, on-demand care for urgent care clinics. OnePACS is a US-based PACS platform tailored specifically for teleradiology.
