The increase in the incidence of cancer is notably driving the brachytherapy afterloaders market growth, although factors such as the high cost of brachytherapy afterloaders may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the brachytherapy afterloaders industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Brachytherapy Afterloaders Market Driver
The increase in the incidence of cancer is one of the key drivers supporting the brachytherapy afterloaders market growth. The incidence of cancer is expected to increase significantly during the forecast period, owing to the rise in risk factors such as smoking, obesity, alcohol intake, overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) light and carcinogenic chemicals, viral and bacterial infections. Moreover, family history of cancer and the rapidly growing aging population are also contributing to the increasing cases of cancer globally. Meanwhile, HDR and PDR brachytherapy afterloaders are used in the treatment of various types of cancer, including gynecologic cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, and prostate cancer. Therefore, a rise in the incidence of these cancer types has resulted in an increase in demand for brachytherapy, which will drive the global brachytherapy afterloaders market during the forecast period.
Key Brachytherapy Afterloaders Market Trend
Increasing focus on developing countries is one of the key brachytherapy afterloaders market trends. Key vendors are increasing their efforts to expand their market presence in emerging economies. For instance, Eckert & Ziegler generates a significant proportion of its revenue for its tumor irradiation equipment from emerging economies. Its tumor irradiation equipment utilizes cobalt emitters, which have a significantly longer half-life than iridium, which is the source used in computing devices. Hence, the radiation source of its equipment does not require frequent changes, which results in cost and logistics advantages. This is particularly beneficial in developing countries. Such beneficiary attributes will contribute to the market growth during the forecast period.
Key Brachytherapy Afterloaders Market Challenge
The high cost of brachytherapy afterloaders is one of the factors hindering the brachytherapy afterloaders market growth. Depending on features and the level of technology, the cost of brachytherapy afterloaders ranges between $100,000 and $600,000. In addition, healthcare facilities have to bear additional costs on the maintenance of afterloaders and constructing a shielding room. On average, end-users must spend 10% of the afterloaders purchase price on annual maintenance. However, end-users focusing on renovating their conventional hospital rooms to accommodate brachytherapy afterloaders also need to incur significant capital expenditures. Also, healthcare facilities need to borne the costs of hiring skilled personnel or training existing personnel to operate brachytherapy afterloaders. Therefore, they are majorly purchased by large hospitals with sufficient patient volumes that can justify the high capital costs. These factors are limiting the market growth.
This brachytherapy afterloaders market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2022-2026.

The brachytherapy afterloaders market share growth by the PDR afterloaders segment will be significant during the forecast period. PDR afterloaders allow computerized optimization of the dose distribution. This helps in ensuring high target volume coverage, reproducibility of the treatment plan, and flexibility to change the dose distribution during the treatment (if required). Though PDR afterloaders have several advantages over HDR afterloaders, their adoption is limited in all developed and developing regions as only one major vendor, Varian Medical Systems, provides PDR afterloaders. Hence, buyers have limited options. However, the rising demand for PDR brachytherapy and the increasing adoption of technologically advanced PDR afterloaders are expected to result in the steady growth of the segment during the forecast period.
This report provides an accurate prediction of the contribution of all the segments to the growth of the brachytherapy afterloaders market size and actionable market insights on post COVID-19 impact on each segment.
