Vendor Neutral Archive (VNA) & PACS Market: Growth, Size, Share, and Trends

The study involved five major activities to estimate the current size of the vendor-neutral archive (VNA) & picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) market—exhaustive secondary research collected information on the market and its different subsegments. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain through primary research. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the complete market size. Thereafter, market breakdown and data triangulation procedures were used to estimate the market size of the segments and subsegments.

Market Size Estimation

The market size estimates and forecasts provided in this study are derived through the bottom-up approach (revenue share analysis) and top-down approach (assessment of utilization/adoption/penetration trends, by product type, modality, deployment, vendor type, application, end user, and region).

Data Triangulation

After arriving at the overall market size, the market size estimation process splits the market into several segments and subsegments. To complete the overall market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics of each market segment and subsegment, the data triangulation and market breakdown procedures were employed, wherever applicable. The data was triangulated by studying various factors and trends from the demand and supply sides in the VNA & PACS market.
