The global radiotherapy market is projected to reach $17.86 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 8.4% from 2023 to 2030.
Succeeding extensive secondary and primary research and in-depth analysis of the market scenario, the report comprises the analysis of key industry drivers, restraints, challenges, and opportunities. The market drivers are the increasing cancer incidence rate, technological advancements radiotherapy, growing awareness about the benefits of radiotherapy for cancer treatment, growing healthcare expenditure, and growing use of particle therapy for cancer treatment. The market growth is hindered by the high costs and complexities of radiotherapy procedures, inadequate advanced infrastructure, and a shortage of skilled healthcare professionals.
Furthermore, the high growth prospects in emerging economies and rising investments by public & private organizations in cancer research are expected to offer significant market growth opportunities. However, the difficulties in visualizing tumors during radiotherapy procedures and the risks associated with radiation exposure are the major challenges to the market's growth.
The report offers a competitive landscape based on an extensive assessment of the product portfolio offerings, geographic presences, and key strategic developments adopted by leading market players in the industry over four years (2020-2023). The key players operating in the global radiotherapy market are Siemens Healthineers AG (Germany), Elekta AB (Sweden), Accuray Incorporated (U.S.), IBA (Belgium), Mevion Medical Systems, Inc. (U.S.), Hitachi, Ltd. (Japan), ViewRay Technologies, Inc. (U.S.), Panacea Medical Technologies Pvt. Ltd. (India), IsoRay, Inc. (U.S.), Optivus Proton Therapy, Inc. (U.S.), and P-Cure Ltd. (Israel).
Among all the products studied in this report, in 2023, the radiotherapy devices segment is expected to account for the largest share of the radiotherapy market. The two types of radiotherapy devices are external and internal beam radiotherapy devices. CyberKnife is a form of non-invasive therapy that uses high doses of specifically designed radiation to eliminate cancers in the body. The adoption of CyberKnife is significantly higher than other external beam devices. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the benefits of CyberKnife, for its painless, non-invasive nature with few to no side effects.
Among all the technologies studied in this report, in 2023, the external beam radiotherapy segment is expected to account for the largest share of the radiotherapy market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the high precision of external beam therapy. The developments in external beam therapy allow for higher and more precise radiation doses and reduce damage to healthy tissues. Moreover, the preference for external radiotherapy is higher among patients unsuitable for surgery.
Among all the cancer types studied in this report, in 2023, the prostate cancer segment is expected to account for the largest share of the radiotherapy market. The largest share of this segment is attributed to the high incidence of prostate cancer, and higher success rate of radiotherapy in prostate cancer than other cancers. For instance, according to Radiation Oncology Targeting Cancer data, external-beam radiation therapy cures 95.5% of men with localized prostate cancer.
An in-depth analysis of the geographical scenario of the global radiotherapy market provides detailed qualitative and quantitative insights into the five major regions (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa), along with the coverage of major countries in each region. In 2023, North America is expected to account for the largest share of the radiotherapy market. In 2023, the U.S. is expected to account for the largest share of the radiotherapy market in North America. The large share of this regional market is attributed to the high healthcare expenditure for cancer, highly developed healthcare infrastructure, the presence of key cancer radiotherapy developing companies such as Accuray Incorporated (U.S.) and Mevion Medical Systems, Inc. (U.S.), and government programs supporting early cancer screening.
