APAC Teleradiology Market

APAC Teleradiology Market Size (2023 to 2028)

The size of the Asia Pacific Teleradiology Market was around USD 0.35 billion in 2022. It is expected to grow at a CAGR of 19.2% between 2023 to 2028 and be worth USD 0.83 billion by 2027. Thus, it captures 20% of the global market.

Teleradiology is the practice of transmitting radiological patient picture diagnoses, such as x-rays, CT scans, and MRI scans; using network technology, data is transferred from one location to another to share research with other radiologists and physicians.

Teleradiology enhances patient care by lowering the distance barrier, allowing radiologists to provide services and care for patients without physically being present at the patient’s location. In addition, there are numerous advantages to employing teleradiology services, such as lower costs, expanded coverage, and rapid interpretations. The aforementioned factors are expected to drive the APAC teleradiology market during the forecast period.

The rising number of imaging operations, the development of IT infrastructure, the rising prevalence of osteoarthritis and chronic diseases further contribute to the teleradiology market’s growth in the APAC region. Furthermore, during the forecast period, the demand for teleradiology is predicted to rise due to the increasing global adoption of technology in healthcare.

Radiation exposure is a major challenge for the teleradiology market in the APAC region. The market for teleradiology is projected to be hampered by treatment-related side effects. In addition, during an emergency, clinicians have significant obstacles due to a lack of timely diagnostic facilities.

Impact of COVID-19 on the APAC teleradiology market:

Initially, there was a decline in teleradiology services due to the lockdown and hold on elective imaging services. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has been transforming the growth of the teleradiology market, and the outbreak’s immediate impact is varied. Teleradiology systems are commonly used in the COVID-19 pandemic situation for sharing study observations and detailed information obtained during the treatment of COVID-19 patients. This has reduced the need for printed copies of imaging findings to be sent, as well as in-person interactions.

Geographically, Asia Pacific is projected to be the fastest-growing Teleradiology market owing to its rapidly growing healthcare infrastructure conjoined with the increasing demand for innovative and advanced medical platforms. Moreover, the huge target population base, the increasing government initiatives, and the strategic Asia Pacific expansions undertaken by major players trigger market growth. In addition, the supporting government actions, big companies’ global expansion ambitions, and the region’s rapid increase in the target population are also projected to drive growth.

Due to the development of modern healthcare infrastructure in these countries, the rising nations such as India and China are expected to grow their market share. Furthermore, due to the expanding awareness of the benefits of teleradiology, major investments in the healthcare industry, and increasing medical tourism in emerging nations within the area, the Asia Pacific region is expected to grow strongly.

Other important factors projected to boost demand for the teleradiology market include an increase in imaging operations, the introduction of the Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), and expanding eHealth R&D efforts.

Recent developments in the Asia Pacific, such as Philips’s debut of teleradiology services in China and the availability of a large potential population in the region without immediate access to radiologists’ assistance, are expected to drive market expansion in the region. In addition, the industry is expected to develop due to rising awareness of less expensive and more effective diagnostic methods.
