Medical Imaging Informatics Market: Strategic Insights

Medical Imaging Informatics Market Drivers and Opportunities

Surge in Geriatric Population

The UK, Canada, Japan, China, India, and South Korea, among other economies, have considerably modernized healthcare facilities and services. As a result, the life expectancy of people in these countries has increased, leading to the growth in their geriatric population base. According to data from the WHO, in 2019, the number of people aged 60 years and older was 1 billion, likely to rise to 1.4 billion by 2030 and 2.1 billion by 2050. The elderly population majorly suffers from various chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases (CVD), due to structural and functional changes in their cardiovascular systems associated with aging. Aging leads to the stiffening of the heart and blood vessels. Thus, arrhythmias, as well as coronary artery disease and heart failure, are common risk factors in people aged 75 and above. In the 2019 Heart Disease and Stroke statistical update by the American Heart Association (AAH), the incidence of CVDs was 77.2% in males and 78.2% in females from the age group of 60–79 years. Furthermore, the incidence of CVDs was 89.3% in adult males and 91.8% in adult females of age 80 and above. Thus, the rising geriatric population worldwide increases the demand for various disease diagnosis procedures and medical imaging informatics, fueling market growth.

Dynamic Healthcare Landscapes in China and India

Developing countries such as China and India present significant market opportunities for medical imaging informatics. With growing populations, increasing healthcare expenditures, and a rising prevalence of chronic diseases, there is a growing demand for advanced medical imaging technologies in these countries. The adoption of digital imaging systems and informatics solutions is rising in China and India, driven by the need for efficient data management, improved diagnostic accuracy, and enhanced patient care. In China, the government's initiatives to modernize healthcare infrastructure and improve access to quality healthcare services have led to an increased adoption of medical imaging informatics solutions. The country's large population and expanding healthcare sector provide a vast market for vendors offering advanced imaging informatics technologies. In India, the growing number of healthcare facilities, coupled with the rising awareness of the benefits of digital imaging, is driving the demand for informatics solutions that can streamline workflows and enhance clinical decision-making. By leveraging these opportunities and addressing the specific needs of these markets, vendors can tap into the tremendous growth potential offered by these developing countries.
