On-cloud delivery services offer benefits such as convenient access and a simple interface. Additionally, it also provides enhanced mobility & flexibility and is economically affordable. Thus, these reasons further accelerate the market expansion. At the same time, the on-premise delivery segment is expected to grow steadily owing to the advantage of high privacy and security in patient data transmission and personal information.

Teleradiology Market by End-Users

The global teleradiology market has been segmented based on end-users into hospitals, diagnostic centers, and ambulatory imaging centers. The hospital segment leads the market and is expected to show constant dominance, with the largest revenue share in the forecast period. The use of teleradiology services in this segment is high due to its utilization in emergency care, and can be used for primary diagnosis. Furthermore, a large footfall of patients in this segment also contributes to driving the market. Whereas ambulatory imaging centers are the second largest shareholder in this market as they have skilled professionals who can provide efficient outcomes.

Teleradiology Market by Region

The global teleradiology market has been segmented based on North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World. North America dominates the global teleradiology market with the largest revenue share. It is also expected to retain its lead in the forecast period. North America has an enormous base of market players, a large base of the targeted population, and a developed healthcare infrastructure that contributes to the growth of the teleradiology market in North America. Additionally, the rapid increase in government initiatives and escalating demand for teleradiology further help broaden the market scope in this region. Europe holds the second position in terms of revenue share. The market growth in Europe can be attributed to increased awareness of teleradiology and constant innovation and technological advancement.

While the Asia Pacific is an emerging region in the market owing to various factors such as the growing adoption of advanced technologies, developing healthcare infrastructure, and increasing healthcare expenditure.
