Executive Summary
According to the report, titled, “Proton Therapy Market," the proton therapy market size was $438.33 million in 2021, and is estimated to reach $1.6 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 13.65% from 2022 to 2031.Proton therapy, also known as proton radiotherapy and proton beam therapy, involves radiation devices with protons as a source of radiation. Proton therapy is used to kill cancer cells. In proton therapy particle accelerators are used to target the tumors with a beam of protons. Protons are charged particles that interfere with DNA of cells, thus damaging them leading to cell death. Proton therapy devices are costly, space consuming equipment that comprises accelerators, electro-magnets, gantries, nozzles, and patient rooms.
Increase in prevalence of cancer, surge in number of awareness campaigns about benefits of proton therapy, and technological advancements in proton therapy devices are the key proton therapy market trends. In addition, patients are eager to know more about proton therapy treatment process and growth of global recognition of proton therapy and its benefits further drive the market growth.
