Irradiation Apparatus Global Market Report 2024

The irradiation apparatus market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $5.68 billion in 2023 to $6.01 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to public health concerns, globalization, public perception and acceptance, and research and development initiatives.

The irradiation apparatus market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.23 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7%. The growth projected for the forecast period can be attributed to increased investments in healthcare, the rising incidence of cancer, the expansion of food irradiation practices, global health threats, and government initiatives and regulations. Major trends expected during this period include personalized radiation therapy, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in radiation oncology, advancements in imaging technologies for better treatment planning, the development of next-generation radiosensitizers to enhance treatment outcomes, and the adoption of hybrid technologies for more precise and effective irradiation.

The increasing expenditure on healthcare is expected to drive the growth of the irradiation apparatus market. Healthcare expenditure encompasses spending on various health-related goods and services, including medical treatment, medications, hospital care, preventive measures, and infrastructure development. This expenditure is particularly significant for the irradiation apparatus market due to the resource-intensive nature of radiation treatment. Establishing and maintaining radiation therapy facilities requires substantial capital and technology investment. For example, in the UK, healthcare spending increased by 9.4% in nominal terms and 9.7% in real terms between 2020 and 2021, with preventive care spending more than doubling from 2020 to 2021. This trend indicates a growing demand for healthcare services, including those that rely on irradiation apparatus.

Major companies in the irradiation apparatus market are innovating with products such as advanced Radixact Systems to stay competitive. The Radixact System is a TomoTherapy platform that provides precise and personalized radiation therapy for cancer treatment. For example, Manipal Hospitals in India launched the first-of-its-kind advanced Radixact System with synchronized automatic, real-time motion synchronization technology for precise cancer treatment. The Synchrony technology tracks tumors in real time, adjusting the radiation beam automatically to account for natural patient breathing movements. With features such as a refined x-ray beamline, a high-speed multi-leaf collimator, and advanced imaging capabilities, the Radixact System offers highly advanced and precise cancer treatment.

In June 2021, STERIS plc, an Ireland-based medical equipment company, acquired Cantel Medical for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is expected to complement and extend STERIS’s product and service offerings, global reach, and customers. Cantel Medical Corporation is a US-based medical device company engaged in the manufacturing of irradiation apparatus and tubes.
