According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled "Radiotherapy Market Report by Type (External Beam Radiation Therapy, Internal Radiation Therapy/Brachytherapy, Systemic Radiation Therapy), Application (Skin and Lip Cancer, Head and Neck Cancer, Breast Cancer, Prostate Cancer, Cervical Cancer, Lung Cancer, and Others), End User (Hospitals, Cancer Research Institutes, Ambulatory and Radiotherapy Centers), and Region 2025-2033," the global radiotherapy market size reached USD 7.1 Billion in 2024. Radiotherapy is a specific treatment method for cancer that relies on radiation to kill malignant cells or shrink tumors. It relies on x-rays or proton radiation, which are illuminated inside or outside the body to damage the genetic material in cancerous cells and restrict them from growing and spreading further. It is carried out by radiation oncologists after conducting examinations and scans to detect the accurate treatment position. It can cure various types of cancers, including breast, cervical, prostate, kidney, liver, lung, brain, and thyroid cancer. It can be combined with other treatment procedures, such as chemotherapy, to destroy cancer cells.
Global Radiotherapy Market Trends:
At present, the increasing demand for radiotherapy, as it is an effective treatment method that relieves symptoms of advanced cancers, represents one of the key factors propelling the growth of the market. Besides this, the rising prevalence of cancer due to the adoption of unhealthy lifestyles and excessive smoking and consumption of alcohol are contributing to the growth of the market. In addition, the growing availability of various advanced radiotherapy devices that enable high-quality radiation conformity with real-time imaging of target tumors is offering a favorable market outlook. Apart from this, rising popularity of novel linear accelerators for addressing unmet medical needs are supporting the growth of the market. Looking forward, the market value is projected to reach USD 9.9 Billion by 2033, expanding at a CAGR of 3.8% during 2025-2033.
