The vendor neutral archives market is classified on the basis of delivery mode (the form of the product offering), procurement model (deployment options chosen by customers), and VNA suppliers. In this market by delivery mode, on-premise VNA solutions are the largest segment of the market owing to the better data security and control that they offer, as perceived by hospitals. This segment is valued at $140.3 million in 2013. Hybrid vendor neutral archives solutions are expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. By procurement model, multi-departmental VNAs have the highest adoption rate globally in 2013 and contribute around 41% to the overall market.

The driving forces for this market include the rising demand for non-DICOM content management, disaster recovery, and lifecycle management solutions. New opportunities for the market lie in development of VNAs through implementation of a patient-centric approach. However, factors such as long vendor neutral archives lifecycles and misinterpretation of the VNA concept restrain the market. Keeping pace with the evolving standards for medical images and image enablement of EHRs (Electronic Health Records) are the challenges faced by the market.
