Global Laboratory Information System/LIS Market 2014-2019 - Key Analysis of the $1 Billion Industry
M2 - Wed Oct 22, 10:35AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/4ltg9j/laboratory) has announced the addition of the "Laboratory Information System/LIS Market by Type, Delivery Mode, End User Labs & by Component - Global Forecast to 2019" report to their offering. The global market is expected to reach $1,806.1 million by 2019 from the estimated $1,175 million in 2014, growing at a CAGR of 9% from 2014 to 2019 On the basis of product, the market is segmented into standalone and integrated laboratory information system. As of 2014, the standalone segment accounts for the largest share of the global laboratory information system products market. The high share can be attributed to their flexibility and the fact that they are more focused on laboratory work flow and is simple to work with as compared to integrated systems. However, the integrated LIS segment is expected to witness high growth in the forecast period as these systems offer true integration across the entire organization and minimal or no interfacing is required. The laboratory information system market by component is bifurcated into software and services. The services market is poised to witness the highest CAGR from 2014 to 2019, owing to the fact that LIS users regularly require services such as consulting, interfacing and on-going IT support, training and education, and maintenance services. The market, by delivery mode is segmented into on-premise, remotely-hosted, and cloud-based laboratory information system. The cloud-based LIS segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2014 to 2019.The high growth of these systems is attributed to their flexibility in terms of storage capacity and that they do not require organizations to make any large investments in software licenses and hardware, thus reducing the capital expenditure. The market, by end user is classified into clinical diagnostic laboratories, anatomic pathology laboratories, blood banks, and molecular diagnostic laboratories. The molecular diagnostic laboratories segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2014 to 2019, owing to the increasing acceptance of personalized medicine amongst patients, which in turn increases the usage of molecular diagnostic and genetic testing in the coming years. Furthermore, molecular diagnostic laboratories are moving from paper-based systems to laboratory information system to handle the increasing volume of molecular tests; thus driving growth of the market.

Picture Archiving and Communication Systems Market to 2020
M2 - Fri Oct 03, 8:19AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/jjpcf9/picture_archiving) has announced the addition of the "Picture Archiving and Communication Systems Market to 2020" report to their offering. The global PACS market was valued at $2.9 billion in 2013 and is forecast to exceed $1 billion by 2020, growing at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 9% Government initiatives will continue to encourage the digitization of healthcare systems and promote technical advances in imaging informatics. Moreover, the awareness of the importance of digitizing image storage, retrieval and sharing has led to expansion of the use of PACS to other medical specialties such as oncology and endoscopy. This expansion will further result in increased usage of PACS in cardiology imaging, which will in turn drive revenue growth during the forecast period. An increasing need for upgrades to conventional PACS systems to new, feature-rich PACS that enable interoperability and flexibility in image viewing will drive future growth in the developed world. Developed economies such as the US and Europe will primarily be replacement markets for PACS systems as penetration is already high. However, companies are shifting their focus to developing economies, where penetration is low. A lack of reimbursement and affordability, however, means that countries such as India and China will require low-cost PACS units. There is therefore an urgent need for companies to develop affordable PACS systems that do not compromise on features such as integration with Electronic Medical Records (EMR) and Radiology Information Systems (RIS). This will allow them to sustain revenue growth during the forecast period, as intense competition will continue to drive down the prices of PACS systems. Government Efforts towards Healthcare IT Implementation and Technical Advances will Continue to Drive Future Growth Technical advances in PACS in combination with initiatives from both the public and private sector have contributed to the increasing adoption of PACS by healthcare providers. Rising healthcare cost burdens and demographic changes have forced governments worldwide to improve healthcare delivery services while also reducing costs. This has placed increasing pressure on governments to address financial constraints and improve efficiency and affordability in healthcare.
