Major trends in the forecast period include adoption of high-energy electron beam systems, growth of non-destructive inspection, expansion of sterilization applications, increasing use in material modification, demand for compact linac systems.

The growth of the semiconductor industry is expected to drive the industrial linear accelerator market going forward. The semiconductor industry involves the design, manufacture, and distribution of semiconductor devices. Its growth is driven by increasing reliance on advanced electronics, the proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and the expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning applications. Industrial linear accelerators play a critical role in semiconductor manufacturing by providing precise particle beam technology, which enhances material modification and testing processes essential for improving semiconductor performance and reliability. For instance, in February 2024, the Semiconductor Industry Association, a US-based trade association, reported that global semiconductor industry sales reached $526.8 billion in 2023. Therefore, growth in the semiconductor industry is boosting demand for industrial linear accelerators.

Major companies in the industrial linear accelerator market are developing advanced products such as AI-powered medical linear accelerators to improve precision in cancer treatment, enhance patient outcomes, and streamline radiation therapy with adaptive, real-time imaging and automated treatment adjustments. AI-powered medical linear accelerators use artificial intelligence to optimize radiation therapy by delivering high-energy X-rays or electron beams to target cancer cells while adjusting treatment plans in real time based on tumor movement and imaging feedback. For example, in May 2024, Elekta, a Sweden-based neuroscience company, launched Evo, an AI-powered adaptive CT-Linac. Evo supports both offline and online adaptive radiation therapy, enabling real-time adjustments to treatment plans according to changes in tumor size, shape, and position, thereby enhancing treatment accuracy and minimizing side effects.
