During the projected period, it is anticipated that the increasing need for document imaging services in the medical sector would propel the market's expansion. Numerous clinics and hospitals are using paperless management systems and medical records due to technological breakthroughs like optical character recognition (OCR). Every business must complete a significant amount of data entry job, which also involves a significant number of paperwork, just like in the medical sector. Hospitals and clinics can also add paper patient records to electronic medical record (EMR) and electronic health record (EHR) systems with the use of medical record scanning services. Medical records scanning services are in higher demand as more healthcare organisations, including VENSO Technologies, deploy EMR and EHR systems. Paper-based records require a high level of administration from medical secretaries, doctors, and medical records employees since moving paper between different locations increases the risk of loss and misplacing. During the projection period, data management and the need to reduce paper use to lower operating expenses and storage difficulties are anticipated to drive market expansion.
Coherent Market Insights projects that between 2021 and 2028, the market for Document Scanning Services is projected to increase at a CAGR of 9.6%, with a market value of US$ 2,852.8 Mn in 2020.
