CPACS sales await EMR boost
As government incentives and an aging population drive growth in imaging and health IT, the market for CPACS is expected to reach $891 million by 2017, according to a report published by market research firm Global Industry Analysts.
Citing an aging population, rising incidences of cardiovascular diseases and increasing cardiovascular imaging volumes, the report forecasts a compound annual growth rate of 9 percent for CPACS over the next six years.
The focus on government incentives and adoption of EMRs has subdued demand to a degree; however, the implementation of these and other IT products in cardiology is expected to boost purchases of CPACS in the medium-term, as physicians move from adoption of the technology to cross-specialty integration, the report offered.
The report also pointed to U.S. providers as the largest market for CPACS, with echocardiography comprising the largest end-use. However, with CPACS entrenched in U.S. and European hospitals, the report predicted that the majority of growth in the system’s revenue will emanate from outside these regions.
