That paragraph is poorly written and doesn't warrant a standalone heading at all. JPEG2000 is mainly a lossy format, comparing its rarely used lossless mode to other lossless formats is pointless.
While JPEG2000 doesn't catch on, it's still used moderately in some fields, particularly medical imaging and some other scientific imagings. And the use of wavelet-transform based algorithms in compression is adopted in lots of other formats too.
