As per the GLOBOCAN study conducted by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, in 2020, an estimated number of 19.3 million new cancer cases and near about 10.0 million cancer deaths were reported globally. The above-mentioned source further stated that in 2020, lung cancer remained the leading cause of cancer death, with an estimated number of 1.8 million deaths (18%), followed by colorectal (9.4%), liver (8.3%), stomach (7.7%), and female breast (6.9%) cancers.

According to Cancer Research UK 2018, the population suffering from cancer is expected to increase in the future. As per their 2018 report, if recent trends in the incidence of major cancers and population growth are consistent, it is predicted that there will be 27.5 million new cancer cases worldwide each year by 2040.

Moreover, as per WHO 2020, the leading cause of death worldwide was cancer which accounted for nearly 10 million deaths in the same year.

Hence, radiation therapy is used to treat cancer and ease cancer symptoms. When used to treat cancer, radiation therapy can cure cancer, prevent it from returning, or stop or slow its growth.

Considering the increase in the number of new cancer cases all over the globe, there has been a growing emphasis on developing an alternative to conventional procedures to facilitate the cancer diagnosis and treatment process and make it smoother for both patients and healthcare providers. Thus, the increasing patient population of cancers would, in turn, lead to an increase in demand for Radiotherapy/Radiation Oncology Devices products. Therefore, all the aforementioned factors are projected to contribute to the growth of Radiotherapy/Radiation Oncology Devices market.

However, the high costs of the procedures and side effects associated with radiations may be certain limiting factors of the Radiotherapy/Radiation Oncology Devices market growth.

The outbreak of the pandemic led to the cancellation of outpatient visits and the suspension of non-emergency hospitals and procedures. This resulted in the reduced number of routine clinical examinations of the visits and related procedures. As per the data provided by the Cancer Research UK, in the UK alone, for example, urgent lung cancer referrals fell by up to 75% during the first lockdown. This did not correlate to the decrease in cases, but that fewer people sought and obtained the diagnosis they urgently needed. Unfortunately, these trends were prominent across countries around the globe. However, vaccine development of COVID-19 has initiated the process of economic recovery with the easing of lockdown restrictions and the return of normalcy in the economic landscape which has initiated the process of resumption of regular healthcare services such as outpatients visits and resumption of healthcare services, thereby bringing the demand in the Radiotherapy/Radiation Oncology Devices market.
