The treatment planning systems and advanced image processing market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.81 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11%. The growth in the forecast period can be credited to the rising incidence of cancer cases, increased adoption of radiation therapy procedures, growing demand for personalized medicine, greater integration of artificial intelligence in imaging and planning, and heightened awareness of early diagnosis and treatment. Key trends expected during the forecast period include advancements in cloud-native treatment planning platforms, expanded use of digital twins for personalized radiotherapy, development of integrated hybrid imaging and planning ecosystems, innovations in neuro-oncology-specific planning modules, and enhanced incorporation of radiomics into planning workflows.

The growing burden of chronic diseases is anticipated to drive the expansion of the treatment planning systems and advanced image processing market in the coming years. Chronic diseases are prolonged, non-communicable conditions that require continuous medical attention and can impact daily functioning. The rise in chronic disease cases is primarily linked to the aging population, as older adults are more susceptible to persistent health issues. Treatment planning and advanced image processing aid in managing chronic conditions by enabling accurate diagnosis, targeted treatment strategies, and real-time monitoring, resulting in enhanced treatment precision and improved patient outcomes. For example, in April 2025, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a US-based federal agency, reported that 76.4% of individuals in the US had one or more chronic conditions in 2023, with prevalence ranging from 59.5% among young adults to 93% among older adults. As a result, the increasing chronic disease burden is contributing to the market growth of treatment planning systems and advanced image processing.

Leading companies in the treatment planning systems and advanced image processing market are prioritizing the development of technological innovations, such as automated treatment planning, to increase accuracy, reduce planning time, and enhance patient outcomes in radiation therapy. Automated treatment planning involves the use of sophisticated software algorithms and artificial intelligence to create optimized radiation therapy plans with minimal manual effort, improving efficiency, uniformity, and precision in cancer care. For instance, in May 2025, RaySearch Laboratories, a Sweden-based medical technology firm, introduced RayStation v2025 to enhance support for adaptive therapy. This version provides fast, automated radiation therapy planning using advanced machine learning and accommodates upright treatments. It promotes improved consistency, operational efficiency, and personalized cancer treatment.

In May 2024, Elekta AB, a Sweden-based medical technology company, acquired the patent portfolio for the Pinnacle Treatment Planning System (TPS) from Koninklijke Philips N.V. for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition aims to bolster Elekta AB’s Elekta One software suite by incorporating the advanced treatment planning functionalities of Philips’ Pinnacle system, thereby increasing precision and workflow efficiency in radiation therapy. Koninklijke Philips N.V., based in the Netherlands, offers comprehensive solutions in both treatment planning systems and advanced image processing.

The treatment planning systems and advanced image processing market consists of revenues earned by entities by providing services such as radiation therapy planning, image acquisition and enhancement, and tumor and organ segmentation. The market value includes the value of related goods sold by the service provider or included within the service offering. The treatment planning systems and advanced image processing market also includes sales of radiation therapy planning software, brachytherapy planning systems, and proton therapy planning tools. Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values; that is, the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers) or directly to end customers. The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.

The market value is defined as the revenues that enterprises gain from the sale of goods and/or services within the specified market and geography through sales, grants, or donations in terms of the currency (in USD unless otherwise specified).

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The fast surge in U.S. tariffs and the trade tensions that followed in spring 2025 are heavily affecting the medical equipment sector, particularly for imported imaging machine components, surgical-grade stainless steel, and plastic disposables. Hospitals and clinics resist price hikes, pressuring manufacturers’ margins. Regulatory hurdles compound the problem, as tariff-related supplier changes often require re-certification of devices, delaying time-to-market. Companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing critical parts, expanding domestic production of commoditized items, and accelerating R&D in cost-efficient materials.
