Global Intensity-modulated Radiotherapy Market by Radiation Type (Photon, Electron Beam, Proton & Carbon-Ion Radiation), Application (Prostate, Lung, Breast), End Users (Hospitals, Independent Radiotherapy Centers), and Region - Forecast to 2028

Advancements in Radiation Therapy Technologies to Improve Treatment and Reduce Side Effects

The global intensity-modulated radiotherapy market is projected to reach USD 2.8 billion by 2028 from USD 2.2 billion in 2023, growing at a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period. The projected surge in market growth for the Intensity-modulated radiotherapy market (IMRT) is underpinned by a confluence of compelling advantages. Notably, IMRT ‘capacity to achieve exceptional precision in tumor targeting, coupled with its ability to mitigate collateral damage to healthy tissues, stands as a pivotal driver. Furthermore, the escalating global incidence of cancer amplifies the demand for advanced treatment modalities, with IMRT positioned as a forefront solution. This convergence of factors is poised to usher in a phase of robust expansion within the market, consequently shaping the landscape of IMRT adoption in the forthcoming forecasting years.

The Brain cancer application segment to register highest CAGR over the forecast period of 2023-2027

Based on the application, the Intensity-modulated radiotherapy market is segmented into prostate cancer, lung cancer, head & neck cancer, breast cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, gynecological cancer, and other applications. The Breast cancer segment is witnessed the highest growth rate In 2022. The increase in breast cancer can be seen due to aging factors, genetic factors like - inherited genetic mutations, such as BRCA1 and BRCA2, contribute to a small percentage of breast cancer cases, the use of hormone replacement therapy can be a few of the potential factors increasing the rate of breast cancers. The incidence of breast cancer may appear to be increasing, but breast cancer mortality rates have been declining due to earlier detection and advances in treatment. IMRT allows physicians and patients to eradicate the cells efficiently by using proper radiation intensity.

Hospitals’ segment to register for the largest market share of the Intensity-modulated radiotherapy market 2022-2027

The major end-users in the Intensity-modulated radiotherapy market are hospitals. The hospitals end-user segment is estimated to hold a significant market share of the Intensity-modulated radiotherapy market during the forecast period. Hospitals, characterized by their capacity to provide a comprehensive array of medical services within a singular facility, confer a distinctive convenience to patients undergoing the Intensity-modulated radiotherapy market (IMRT). This convenience stems from the consolidation of diverse medical needs under one roof, thereby mitigating the necessity for patients to seek multiple appointments at disparate venues. This strategic amalgamation of services not only streamlines patient care but also augments the attractiveness of IMRT as a preferred treatment option. As a result, this seamless alignment of convenience and comprehensive care significantly contributes to the advancement and prominence of the Intensity-modulated radiotherapy market within hospital settings.
