at a faster pace as compared to the integrated software market
which is moving at a stable rate. The market has seen a boost since
the IT revolution in healthcare, but is still dominated by OEMs.
Many smaller players are making efforts to make a mark in the
medical image analysis market. But the major revenues are generated
through supplying services and programs to the OEM. This report
covers definition, description, and forecast of the global medical
image analysis software market in terms of integrated and
standalone software, by modalities, by image type, by indications
and by end-users. The medical image analysis market is estimated to
be $1.7 billion in 2012 and is growing at a rate of 7.2% from 2012
to 2017 to reach $2.4 billion.
Software has become the work horse of any machine or equipment used
in today's world, medical devices are no exception. Software is
used in the medical industry for varied purposes such as training,
viewing, storing data, sharing data etc; thereby increasing the
efficiency and effectiveness of medical procedures.
The global medical
image analysis software market is growing at a higher rate as
compared to the equipment market. The image analysis software
market is driven by higher demand for diagnostic procedures
globally, technology improvements and demand from the consumer end.
The major restraints are the inherent drawbacks associated with
software. The major trends seen in the market are towards open
