Growth is further fueled by the trend toward enterprise imaging, which involves consolidating multiple imaging technologies into a single system that supports the creation of patient histories. This trend becomes important in light of the rapid growth of imaging technology in both size and complexity, making scalable, interoperable storage systems essential. Furthermore, the implementation of artificial intelligence in medical imaging is a key growth driver, as it enables image interpretation, patient prioritization, and clinical decision-making. According to the National Institutes of Health (2023), the use of AI in radiology is increasing significantly, particularly in imaging and workflow, which directly affects the demand for PACS. Moreover, the necessity for data protection in healthcare imaging systems encourages hospitals to adopt more secure VNA systems. For instance, PaxeraHealth Corp. (US) upgraded its imaging system using AI in early 2026, while Sectra AB (Sweden) secured several contracts on enterprise imaging systems in Europe in November 2025.

The orthopedic segment is expected to register the fastest growth in the VNA & PACS market during the forecast period.

Based on the application, the market for VNA & PACS has been divided into Cardiology, Orthopedic, Oncology, Neurology, Obstetrics & Gynecology, and Others. Among all these applications of medical imaging, the Orthopedic segment is projected to have the highest growth rate during the forecast period, driven by several factors, including the growing burden of musculoskeletal diseases, rising volumes of traumatic and injury cases, and increasing joint replacement surgeries worldwide. Orthopedic imaging involves the use of modalities like x-rays, CT scan, and MRIs that generate high-frequency imaging data, and therefore, need effective storage, retrieval, and longitudinal imaging capabilities, which VNA and PACS are capable of delivering. As stated by WHO (July 2022), 1.71 billion individuals suffer from musculoskeletal disorders and constitute a significant proportion of the global burden of disabilities. With this huge pool of patients, there will be an increased demand for imaging in orthopedics. Moreover, the growing prevalence of joint replacement surgeries, according to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (2023). In addition, in 2025, Sectra AB (Sweden) launched its orthopedic imaging application into an enterprise PACS solution, while Fujifilm Holdings Corporation improved its Synapse Platform for musculoskeletal imaging applications.

The independent vendor segment held the largest share of the VNA & PACS market in 2025.

Based on vendor type, the VNA & PACS market has been divided into independent and third-party vendors. In 2025, independent vendors are expected to have the largest market share since they can provide neutral, interoperable, and scalable imaging solutions across multiple vendors' technologies. Providers have become inclined towards independent vendors since they can easily escape from vendor lock-in and gain the flexibility to manage their imaging information through multiple devices and legacy systems. Independent vendors are also essential to enterprise imaging strategies, as they provide advanced VNA platforms that enable long-term archiving of imaging information, cross-departmental accessibility of such data, and integration of VNA with EHR systems. As mentioned by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (2023), interoperability is one of the most prioritized features for providers, who are increasingly focusing on standardized and open architecture in healthcare information technology, thus providing an edge for independent VNA vendors. Furthermore, independent vendors are more flexible in implementing cloud-native architectures and AI-enabled imaging solutions, which are becoming highly popular among large health organizations. For example, in 2025, Hyland Software, Inc. (US) extended its cloud-based VNA solution, whereas BridgeHead Software Ltd. (UK) upgraded its interoperable data management services for multi-vendor imaging platforms.

North America registered the largest share in the VNA & PACS market in 2025.

The largest revenue share in the VNA & PACS market was observed in North America in 2025 due to the presence of several large IDN and academic medical center players that have a requirement for enterprise imaging and data consolidation. Well-established reimbursement policies and significant investment in digital infrastructure have made it possible to deploy VNA & PACS solutions on a wider scale in North America. As mentioned by the American Hospital Association (2024), there are more than 6,100 hospitals in the United States alone, most of which are multi-hospital systems that require centralized imaging storage and easy access to images from multiple locations. Moreover, as stated by the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (2023), North American healthcare organizations are advancing their digital journey toward higher digital maturity, and enterprise imaging remains a major area of development. Besides, North America enjoys significant innovation activity and early adoption of the newest imaging technologies. For instance, in 2025, Intelerad Medical Systems Incorporated (Canada) expanded its cloud imaging solutions among outpatient imaging providers, while Merative L.P. (US) enhanced its imaging informatics solutions for large healthcare providers.

The major players operating in the VNA & PACS market are Hyland Software, Inc. (US), Agfa-Gevaert Group (Belgium), Canon Medical Systems Corporation (Japan), FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation (Japan), GE HealthCare (US), Merative L.P. (US), Sectra AB (Sweden), Siemens Healthineers AG (Germany), BridgeHead Software Ltd. (UK), Canopy Partners (US), Novarad Corporation (US), PostDICOM (US), CrelioHealth Inc. (India), Medicasoft LLC (US), Esaote S.p.A. (Italy), PaxeraHealth Corp. (US), VISUS Health IT GmbH (Germany), Aspyra, LLC (US), and Koninklijke Philips N.V. (Netherlands).
