Global Radiotherapy Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Type (External Beam Radiotherapy and Internal Beam Radiotherapy), By Application (Prostate Cancer, Breast Cancer, Lung Cancer, Colorectal Cancer, Cervical Cancer, and Others), By End-User (Hospitals, Cancer Research Institutes, and Ambulatory and Radiotherapy Centers), and Forecast 2019-2025
    Update Available - Forecast 2024-2030   

Published: Jul 2023 | Report Code: OMR2021732 | Category : Medical Devices | Delivery Format: /

The global radiotherapy market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of over 6% during the forecast period. Radiation therapy or radiotherapy is a cancer treatment that utilizes high doses of radiation to eliminate cancer cells and shrink tumors. At low doses, radiation is used in x-rays to see inside the body. Increasing incidences of cancer are one of the primary factors driving the growth of the market. Additionally, the growing adoption of radiotherapy procedures for cancer treatment and the rising in the adoption of radiotherapy devices and procedures is expected to propel the radiotherapy market growth during the forecast period. Further, the need for the development of enhanced, précised, and accurate radiation therapy to accurately hit only the affected tumor using the radiation beam without damaging the surrounding tissue is also driving the market growth. 

However, the lack of skilled personnel and inadequate resources are some of the factors that hinder the growth of the market during the forecast period. Besides, the presence of the key players along with numerous government initiatives to successfully detect and treat cancer is providing opportunities for the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Segmental Outlook

The global radiotherapy market is segmented on the basis of type, application, and end-user. On the basis of type, the market is segmented into External Beam Radiotherapy including 3D Conformal Radiotherapy (3D-CRT), Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT), Stereotactic Radiation Therapy, Proton Beam Therapy, Others;and Internal Beam Radiotherapy including Brachytherapy. Based on the application, the market is segmented into prostate cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, cervical cancer, and others. Whereas, based on the end-user, the market is segmented as hospitals, cancer research institutes, ambulatory, and radiotherapy centers.

Global Radiotherapy Market Share by Type, 2018 (%)

IMRT Contribute a Significant Share to the Growth of the Global External Beam Radiotherapy Market

IMRT is among the most common type of external beam radiation therapy. The primary benefits offered by the IMRT include the delivery of high doses of radiation to cancer sites. IMRT includes a number of beams of radiation that target multiple sites with different doses. The tumor cells are mapped precisely in 3D, which is an additional benefit offered by this therapy. The increasing prevalence of cancer across the globecoupled with the increasing demand for the IMRT tends to drive the segmental growth of the market. 

Prostate Cancer to Account for Significant Market Growth 

Amongst the applications segment, prostate cancer accounts for a significant share in the market. The rise in incidences and prevalence rate of prostate cancer diseases across the globe is one of the key factors of the segmental growth of the market. According to the American Cancer Society, prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in men. About one in nine men are likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime across the globe. It is considered to be a lethal disease and causes mortalities about one in 39 men. According to the WHO in 2018, around 25,696 new prostate cancer cases were registered while around 17,184 mortality cases were registered in India.

Regional Outlook

The global radiotherapy market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World. North America is estimated to hold a significant share in the market attributed to the presence of advanced healthcare infrastructure in the region. Further, the presence of the key players, increasing prevalence of cancer, and the adoption of technologically advanced products in the country such as the US give a boost to the regional growth of the market. In addition, Asia-Pacific is estimated to witness significant growth in the market during the forecast period. The market growth is attributed to the developing healthcare infrastructure along with medical tourism in economies such as India.
