Brachytherapy Market

Global Brachytherapy Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report, by Indication (Breast Cancer, Gynecological Cancer, Prostate Cancer, Skin Cancer, Brain Cancer, and Others), by Type (Low-Dose Rate and High-Dose Rate) and Forecast, 2019 – 2025
    Update Available - Forecast 2024-2030   

Published: Jul 2023 | Report Code: OMR2020013 | Category : Medical Devices | Delivery Format: /

The global brachytherapy market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 3.5% during the forecast period. The major factors encouraging the growth of the market include the rising prevalence of cancer coupled with the increasing demand for internal radiation therapy. As per the World Health Organization (WHO), the global burden of cancer is estimated to have increased to 18.1 million new incidences and 9.6 million deaths in 2018. Globally, the total number of people who are alive within 5 years of a cancer diagnosis, known as 5-year prevalence, is estimated to be 43.8 million in 2018. Effective prevention efforts may result in a reported decline of incidence rates for some cancers, including lung cancer (such as in men in Northern Europe and North America) and cervical cancer (such as in most regions apart from Sub-Saharan Africa). The top three cancer types in terms of incidence include lung, female breast, and colorectum.

The most common form of cancer treatment is radiation therapy, which is used alone or along with surgery or chemotherapy. Brachytherapy is a kind of internal radiation therapy that involves placing capsules, seeds or ribbons in the body or near the tumor. It supports to treat only a particular part of the body. Brachytherapy is often used for the treatment of cancers, including breast, prostate, head and neck, cervix and lung. Most probably, the major benefit of brachytherapy is that doctors can utilize a higher total dose of radiation for the treatment of a smaller area in a shorter duration and reduces the damage to surrounding tissues.

Segmentation

The global brachytherapy market is segmented based on indication and type. Based on the indication, the market is classified into breast cancer, gynecological cancer, prostate cancer, skin cancer, brain cancer, and other cancer types. Brachytherapy is being significantly used for the treatment of prostate cancer. Brachytherapy is highly effective on moderately and small-sized prostate glands. Based on type, the market is classified into low-dose-rate (LDR) brachytherapy and HDR brachytherapy. High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy is generally a treatment option for men with intermediate-risk or locally advanced prostate cancer. Some men are required to have hormone treatment earlier undergoing their HDR brachytherapy procedure.

The hormone therapy will shrink the prostate gland and this will make it easier for radiation therapy to destroy the cancer cells. In this case, hormone treatment will be prescribed for a fixed time only. As per WHO, prostate cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer, accounted for 7.1%or 1.3 million cases in 2018. This, in turn, is contributing to the demand for internal radiation therapy for prostate cancer. 

HDR brachytherapy is estimated to witness considerable share in the market

The demand for HDR brachytherapy has increased significantly owing to its convenience and effectiveness. HDR brachytherapy was developed to overcome the potential disadvantages of LDR brachytherapy, which include prolonged treatment time, radiation exposure to medical staff, applicator movement and mandatory hospitalization. The overwhelming benefits of HDR include less risk of radiation exposure for medical personnel and computerized optimization of dosimetry. As a result, it results in fewer chances of organ motion at the time of radiation delivery. HDR brachytherapy is often used for the treatment of prostate, head and neck cancers and cervical, however, the HDR systems’ flexibility facilitates the use of this technology for a broad range of malignancies.

Regional Outlook

Geographically, the global brachytherapy market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and RoW. North America is anticipated to hold the major share in the market owing to the significant rise in the cancer incidences and the remarkable adoption of radiation therapy in the region. As per the NCI, in 2019, there will be an estimated 1,762,450 new cancer cases diagnosed and 606,880 cancer deaths in the US. Radiation therapy has a significant role in cancer management.  As per the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), in 2016, there were an estimated 10.5 million 5-year cancer survivors, of which 3.05 million received radiation therapy in the US. In 2016, radiation-treated survivors constituted 29% of all cancer survivors in the US. This, in turn, is contributing to the adoption of internal radiation therapy such as brachytherapy in the region.

Market Players Outlook

The major players in the market include Elekta AB, Best Medical Instruments, Inc., Eckert & Ziegler BEBIG, Varian Medical Systems, Inc. and AngioDynamics, Inc. Mergers and acquisitions, product launches, partnerships, and collaborations are some crucial strategies adopted by the market players to expand market share and gain a competitive advantage over their competitors. For instance, in September 2019, C4 Imaging LLC introduced the first prostate cancer treatment with the use of Orion, a new medical device that is designed to simplify the MRI usage in encouraging the treatment accuracy.

The Orion HDR Marker creates a well-defined, positive MRI signal and facilitates greater anatomical imaging properties of MRI that can be potentially used while planning treatment. Additionally, it offers the potential for an effective treatment that reduces the chances of side effects. As the popularity of HDR has increased significantly owing to its convenience and effectiveness, the use of MRI can provide more anatomical detail as compared to computed tomography (CT). As a result, the use of Orion HDR Marker can support the effective treatment of prostate cancer patients.
