Increasing Radiopharmaceutical Production with Cyclotrons Bolter the Market Growth

Published: Jan 2024

The global cyclotron market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 11.2% during the forecast period (2023-2030). Cyclotrons are crucial in producing isotopes used in therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals for treating conditions such as cancer and neurological disorders including Alzheimer’s. According to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), between 10 and 12% of radiopharmaceuticals are produced in cyclotrons globally, but the demand for cyclotrons is increasing as more of the radionuclides they produce are used in research, diagnosis, and treatment in a range of life-threatening diseases such as cancer, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and insomnia. There were over 1,200 cyclotrons in operation around the globe, producing important radionuclides and increasing the availability of nuclear medicine ultimately providing better and more effective diagnosis.

Further, technological advancements in positron emission tomography (PET) and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging have contributed to the demand for cyclotrons. These imaging techniques rely on radiopharmaceuticals produced with the help of cyclotrons. PET is used to produce high-quality 3D images of target organs or cells in the body to diagnose disease. According to the IAEA, hospitals in Portugal, a country of just 10 million, perform over 50,000 PET procedures per year. Globally, cyclotrons account for 95% of the production of radiopharmaceuticals used in PET. 

In addition, manufacturers emphasize partnerships and product launches to meet market demand for cyclotron. For instance, in January 2022, IBA, a pioneer in particle accelerator technology and the provider of radiopharmaceutical production solutions, launched a new low-energy, compact-size cyclotron, the Cyclone KEY. The new machine enabled small and medium-sized hospitals to produce their radiopharmaceutical products in-house while providing more widespread global access to diagnostic solutions in oncology, neurology, and cardiology.
