Radiation Oncology Market Segmentation by Type, Application, and Geography
Type Analysis
The type analysis is fragmented into EBRT, Brachytherapy.
EBRT
The EBRT segment was valued at USD 6,080.26 million in 2017 and continued to grow during the forecast period. EBRT delivers high-energy X-rays or beams that are generated outside the patient's body, generally by a LINAC, into the tumor. EBRT is usually delivered by X-rays, which are also called photons. It can also use electrons or other rare particles such as protons. EBRT is used to treat a wide range of diseases such as breast cancer, CRC, esophageal cancer, head and neck cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer, and brain tumor.

Brachytherapy
Brachytherapy is an advanced cancer treatment procedure. It places sealed radioactive seeds or sources in or near the tumor to provide a high dose of radiation to the tumor and reduce radiation exposure in the surrounding healthy tissues. It is used to treat cancers such as the prostate, cervix, head and neck, skin, breast, gallbladder, uterus, vagina, lung, and rectum. Brachytherapy can be further segmented into seeds, applicators and after loaders, and electronic brachytherapy.
Application Analysis
The application segment is bifurcated into breast cancer, lung cancer, penile cancer, prostate cancer, and others.
Breast Cancer
The rising incidence of breast cancer is one of the major factors fueling the growth of the overall market. In 2020, there were 2.3 million women diagnosed with breast cancer and 685 000 deaths globally. Radiation therapy is required for breast cancer and high-energy X-rays, protons, or other particles are needed to destroy cancer cells.
Lung Cancer
The number of lung cancer diagnoses is increasing due to rising cancer awareness in both developed and emerging markets and the introduction of new medical diagnostic devices and improved treatments driving the market for lung cancer drugs. This, coupled with increased spending on research and innovation by key players, is driving the demand for lung cancer therapeutics.
Penile Cancer
Penile cancer is a rare type of cancer that forms in the male reproductive organ, the penis. Radiation therapy uses high-energy rays or particles to destroy cancer cells. The rising prevalence of cancer across the globe is a key factor driving the growth of the penile cancer treatment market.
Other
The others segment include cervical cancer, head and neck cancer, colorectal cancer, and gynaecological cancer. Government initiatives to provide better and more affordable treatment and favorable reimbursement policies are expected to spur market growth.

North America dominates the global market. The US is the major contributor to revenue to the market in the region. The US is also the world's largest market for radiation therapy. It has the largest installed base of radiotherapy equipment. The increasing incidence of cancer, the presence of several multinational vendors, the increasing number of radiotherapy procedures and the presence of several radiotherapists, the availability of developed healthcare infrastructure, the increasing adoption of technologically advanced radiation therapy devices, and the high healthcare expenditure are driving the growth of the market in North America.
Furthermore, favorable reimbursements in countries such as the US are also driving the growth of the market in the region. Many vendors are also increasingly focusing on M&A and strategic collaborations to strengthen their market positions. The increasing number of regulatory approvals of new products, the increasing adoption of new technologies such as proton beam therapy, and increasing investments by vendors are also major factors influencing the market research growth in the region. The market is favored by the presence of several global and local vendors such as Accuray, Becton, Dickinson, Mevion Medical Systems, Varian Medical Systems, ViewRay Inc. (ViewRay), and Theragenics Corp. (Theragenics). These vendors offer advanced and high-quality radiation oncology products. Hence, the availability of advanced radiation oncology products is likely to contribute to the market growth in this region during the forecast period.
Covid Recovery Analysis
The outbreak of COVID-19 temporarily impacted the growth of the regional market in 2020. However, the initiation of COVID-19 vaccination drives in 2021 and the subsequent lifting of lockdown restrictions led to the gradual resumption of operations of pharmaceutical manufacturing and logistics units, which helped in easing R&D-related constraints. Thus, the gradually improving situation from the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak in North America is anticipated to increase the demand for radiation oncology, which, in turn, will boost the growth of the regional market during the forecast period.

Radiation Oncology Market: Key Drivers, Trends, Challenges, and Customer Landscape
There are multiple factors influencing the market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges.
Key Radiation Oncology Market Driver
The growth of the global radiation oncology market is being fueled by advancements in technology and product innovation. These advancements include features such as robotics, higher precision, higher dose rates, gating of the beam to track moving targets, stereotactic treatments, and hypofractionation. These technological improvements have made it possible to deliver radiation therapy with greater precision and safety while minimizing exposure to healthy tissue. Innovative products such as the CyberKnife and Gamma Knife have made cancer treatment non-invasive and painless. Vendors such as ViewRay and Accuray are offering advanced products like the MRI-Guided LINAC System and the world's first multileaf collimator for a robotic platform, respectively. The use of targeted nanoparticle systems and personalized biological therapies has also been shown to work synergistically with radiation therapy to improve tumor eradication efficiency. The adoption of these advanced products is expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.
Significant Radiation Oncology Market Trends
Vendors are increasingly targeting emerging economies like China and India due to the rising focus on cancer prevention, favorable government initiatives, and increasing clinical research activities in the field of oncology, which provide substantial market opportunities. The availability of low-cost raw materials for the development of advanced radiation oncology products and relatively lower labor costs are attracting both new entrants and established global vendors to expand their presence in these developing countries. The growth in the number of large and mid-sized hospitals and other healthcare facilities in these countries is also contributing to the demand for products needed to treat cancer. With the expected increase in the number of hospitals in the coming years to cater to the growing demand for advanced cancer treatment, the demand for radiation oncology products is expected to rise globally. These factors are expected to drive the growth of the global radiation oncology market during the forecast period.
Major Radiation Oncology Market Challenge
Product recalls can have a detrimental impact on a company's brand /image and revenue, presenting a significant challenge to the market. Given the lengthy development and government approval cycles of many products, recalls can hinder companies' growth prospects. In response to an issue related to radiotherapy treatment, Elekta issued an Urgent Important Field Safety Notification in May 2020, alerting engineers to the problem and its clinical impact. The company also issued an Urgent Field Safety Notification to clients, urging them to review the TPS system to ensure all wedges were defined with the necessary IDs, and to verify that the exported RT Plan information contained the required Wedge IDs. Elekta assured customers that the issue would be resolved in MOSAIQ Release 2.80 Beta 01, with updates provided through Service Packs to MOSAIQ and Multi-ACCESS. The company pledged to notify customers of the Service Packs' availability via Product Bulletin. Such recalls have the potential to impede market growth during the forecast period.
