In spite of a deceleration experienced in the wake of the pandemic crisis, the popularity of PACS is regaining momentum. In addition, burgeoning online business transactions in the wake of deepening e-commerce penetration and the advent of Industry 4.0 have also served to heighten prospects for PACS in recent years. The National Retail Federation of the United States estimates a nearly 4% increase in virtual retail sales since 2017. E-commerce sales registered double-digit growth in the same time period.
Furthermore, the European Commission’s 2015 report pegged the European commerce sector’s value at 11% of the region’s GDP, stimulated primarily by sectors such as ICT, real-estate, finance, manufacturing and transport. Since these industries are the primary end-users of PACS solutions, their demand is only expected to bolster in forthcoming years, providing a wide berth for solution providers to penetrate markets by introducing a slew of technologically advanced software and equipment.
“Burgeoning instances of identity theft and compromise of confidential data are compelling corporate entities to invest in advanced security solutions, especially in the financial domain, leading to an increase in the availability of security solutions for banking and financial institutions,” remarks the Fact.MR analyst.
