Market Trends of 3D Medical and Surgical Imaging Platform Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the 3D Medical & Surgical Imaging Platform Market according to our research experts:
Cloud Expected to Witness Significant Growth
- Cloud computing gives medical imaging a competitive advantage in raw data management. Depending on the medical imaging solution types and the industry's development level, cloud computing can be utilized in a variety of scenarios, including cloud image archiving, massive image data storage, and remote medical image disaster recovery, as well as cloud image-based software applications such as 3D healthcare image applications, mobile image reading, and imaging centers.
- The trend for enterprise imaging systems and Picture Archive and Communication systems (PACS) is moving to cloud-based solutions owing to their ability to solve several hospital issues. In addition, cloud-based systems support easier integration with large hospital electronic medical record (EMR) systems.
- Furthermore, hospitals and other healthcare facilities can minimize their IT infrastructure investment by utilizing cloud-based solutions. That means reducing labor costs through automating several repetitive management tasks. Therefore, the cloud is bringing a lot of scalabilities, and physicians can emphasize patients rather than IT concerns.
- Further, in August 2021, GE Healthcare introduced a next-generation, cloud-based Picture Archive and Communication System (PACS) called Edison True PACS. This new cloud-based diagnostic imaging and workflow solution is designed to support and enable radiologists facing increased rates of staff burnout and retirements to be more precise and efficient while keeping capital and IT resources under control. Moreover, this new solution offered AI-enabled decision support to help radiologists acclimate to higher workloads, augment exam complexity, and enhance diagnostic accuracy.

North America Expected to Hold Significant Share
- North America is expected to hold a significant share of the market due to the rising number of surgeries, increasing prevalence of chronic disease, and the growing adoption of the hybrid operating room by hospitals across the region.
- The region is witnessing an increase in automated 3D imaging scanners, and there is ongoing R&D development for 3D imaging. For instance, in July 2022, SMARTTECH expanded its line of 3D scanner accessories. Adding professional FOBA stands to the SMARTTECH accessory line expands the possibilities for the ergonomic use of SMARTTECH 3D scanners.
- The market across the region is significantly growing due to the increasing purchasing power of the healthcare settings, such as hospitals, long-term care centers, and advanced specialty centers. Moreover, compared to developing regions coupled with a favorable reimbursement scenario, a well-established healthcare infrastructure is anticipated to bode well for regional growth during the forecast period.
- Factors such as the growing adoption of automation in the healthcare sector and escalating demand for 3D imaging in diagnosing and monitoring chronic diseases are expected to provide plenty of opportunities for several healthcare companies to expand across the region.
- Further, in January 2022, Francisco Partners signed an agreement with IBM (US) to develop healthcare data and analytics assets from IBM, including Health Insights, MarketScan, Clinical Development, Social Program Management, Micromedex, and imaging software offerings, which are currently part of the Watson Health business.
