Radiation Oncology Market

Market Overview:

The global radiation oncology market size reached US$ 7.5 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 11.7 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 7.39% during 2023-2028.

Radiation oncology, also known as radiotherapy, is a cancer treatment that relies on high doses of radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. It is considered a localized treatment as it affects only the part of the body being treated and damages cancer cells without harming healthy cells. It can be delivered via machines called linear accelerators or through radioactive sources placed inside the patient on a temporary or permanent basis.

Radiation Oncology Market Trends:

The increasing risk of developing cancer on account of tobacco and alcohol consumption, unhealthy diet and physical inactivity among individuals represents one of the key factors bolstering the growth of the market. Besides this, there is a rise in the adoption of radio oncology, which includes external beam radiation therapy, to treat breast, colorectal, esophageal, head, neck, lung, and prostate cancer. It also comprises radioactive iodine therapy (I-131), which can cure a few thyroid cancers, and targeted radionuclide therapy that helps treat advanced prostate cancer or gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs). Moreover, palliative radiation aids in relieving difficulties like pain, trouble swallowing or breathing, or bowel blockages caused by advanced cancer. This, coupled with the rapid expansion of cancer research centers around the world, is positively influencing the market. Furthermore, key players are focusing on motion tracking, real-time imaging and advancements from 2D to 3D conformal radiotherapy. They are also integrating artificial intelligence (AI) to improve the accuracy, precision, efficiency, and overall effectiveness of radiation oncology. This, in confluence with the increasing investments in research and development (R&D) activities by governments of numerous countries, is projected to fuel the growth of the market in the coming years.
