Report Description


The global radiotherapy market size was valued at USD 6.6 Billion in 2022 and is likely to reach USD 11.9 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period, 2023–2031. Rising awareness of the benefits of radiotherapy is anticipated to boost the market in the coming years.

Radiotherapy is also known as radiation therapy and its operation is called radiation oncology. It is an integral part of modern cancer treatment and diagnosis. It is used to cure cancer by destroying cancer cells and minimizing the tumor size. Radiation therapy includes internal radiation therapy and external beam radiation.
 

Radiotherapy Market Outlook

In external beam radiation therapy, the radiation is emitted from a machine or a small container of radioactive material and is placed directly into or near the tumor. Whereas, internal radiotherapy directly delivers radiation from inside the body to cancer tumors, affecting a few healthy cells.

  • In November 2021, the FDA gave a nod to DoseRT, an improved multi-camera system by Vision RT Ltd. as it monitors patient positioning and beam in real-time during radiotherapy.
  • In December 2020, FDA approved a single-camera system, Beam Site by Dartmouth and Norris Cotton Cancer Center. It takes real-time video and images of the beam and helps in the treatment.

Over the last few years, the demand for radiotherapy increased due to the rising geriatric population with cancer, the increasing prevalence of cancer, and the growing adoption of radiotherapy devices. In 2020, as per the report of the National Cancer Institute, approximately 1,806,590 new cancer cases were diagnosed in the United States, and around 606,520 people died owing to cancer. The male population is commonly diagnosed with lung, prostate, and colorectal cancers, whereas, lung, breast, and colorectal cancer is found in females.

The research report finds that the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected the radiotherapy market. The demand for radiotherapy was reduced due to the decrease in the number of general diagnoses and treatments conducted during the lockdown. For instance, In April 2020, according to the study results, average weekly radiotherapy courses dropped by 19.9%, 6·2% in May, and 11·6% in June.

Radiotherapy Market Dynamics

Radiotherapy Market Dynamics

Major Drivers

Rising prevalence of cancer leads to increasing demand for mortality reduction management caused by cancer and is expected to increase the demand for radiotherapy treatment and boost the market. The high efficacy of radiotherapy or radio oncology gives advanced clinical outcomes.

Initiatives for raising awareness regarding the benefits of radiotherapy, including symposia and conferences, were organized. These events help to spread awareness of the treatment, which fuels the radiotherapy market.

Existing Restraints

Lack of expert oncologists and a shortage of technically trained professionals is expected to restrain the market during the forecast period. Expensive radiotherapy devices affect market growth. Moreover, the high investment required for radiotherapy refrains consumers from spending heavily on the treatment. This is further anticipated to affect the market growth.

Emerging Opportunities

Increasing investment and funding activities from private and public sources for cancer research & development of novel cancer therapies are expected to create lucrative opportunities in the market during the forecast period. Advanced cancer diagnostics and enhanced treatment procedures are projected to support the market expansion.

Radiotherapy has undergone significant technological advancements with reduced collateral damage and improved precision. For instance, next-generation technologies, including Artificial Intelligence (AI), are now used in Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) for determining target treatment. Gamma rays, x-rays, and charged particles are also being employed in radiotherapy, which is further widening the market scope.

Radiotherapy Market Segment Insights

Type Segment Analysis

On the basis of type, the radiotherapy market is segmented into internal HDR, LDR, 3D-CRT, IGRT, and IMRT. The IMRT segment is projected to expand at a considerable CAGR during the forecast period. In intensity-modulated radiation therapy, powerful energy beams kill cancer cells.

This method effectively delivers high-dose radiation and avoids radiation of healthy organs. Direct beams cause less damage to normal tissues and allow oncologists to use high doses of radiotherapy for treatment. External beam radiation therapy is known for its accuracy of the direct beams at the cancerous cells.


The systemic radiation therapy segment is anticipated to account for a major market share during the forecast period, owing to increasing awareness among people about advanced methods for radiotherapy. In systemic radiation therapy, a radioactively labeled monoclonal antibody or iodine is injected into the patient’s body. This radioactive monoclonal antibody travels through the blood and locates and kills tumor cells.

Radiotherapy Market Type

The particle therapy segment is projected to expand at a rapid pace in the coming years, owing to the rising research activities in the field of radiation therapy, the increasing number of proton therapy centers globally, and the lower risk associated with proton beam therapy. This therapy disrupts the tumor’s DNA and reduces the damage to surrounding vital organs and healthy tissue. It is applicable only when tumors are not spread and are not near the important parts of the body.


Application Segment Analysis

Based on application, the market is divided into breast, lung, and prostate cancer. The prostate cancer segment is expected to expand at a significant growth rate during the projection period. Prostate brachytherapy is effective in treating prostate cancer. Brachytherapy does not require monitoring the prostate gland movement, as radioactive implanted seeds move with the gland.

The lung segment is anticipated to register a robust growth rate, as radiotherapy is a common treatment for lung cancer. In Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT), a very high dose of radiation is delivered accurately to tumors in the lung. Lung cancer patient is usually treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

Technology Segment Analysis

In terms of technology, the market is segmented into stereotactic LINAC, LINAC, particle therapy, and cobalt-60 teletherapy. The LINAC segment is expected to register a robust growth rate during the forecast period. In this technology, particles travel in a straight line and are able to reach maximum energies without the need for extremely high voltages. It is generally used for external beam radiation treatments for patients with cancer.

Radiotherapy Market Application

End-User Segment Analysis

Based on end-user, the market is divided into clinics, hospitals, cancer research institutes, and others. The clinics and hospitals segment is expected to hold a significant share of the market in the coming years. Clinics and hospitals have radiotherapy devices that are used for the treatment of different cancerous tumors. Hospitals are well-equipped with radiotherapy units to cater to the various needs of radiotherapy procedures. It removes the primary malignant tumor to prevent the recurrence of the tumor after surgery. 

Regional Analysis

In terms of region, the global radiotherapy market is classified as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. North America is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period, owing to the presence of key players, increasing incidence of cancer patients, and development in R&D activities in the healthcare sector.

Asia-Pacific is expected to grow at a significant rate in the coming years. Rising diagnosis rates and increasing government investments in creating awareness of the benefits and importance of diagnosis are driving the regional market. In addition, high medical infrastructure availability, the presence of numerous market players, and rising consumer disposable income boost the regional market.
