According to our new research study on "Radiation Oncology Market Forecast to 2031 -Global Analysis - by Type, Application, and Geography," the market is anticipated to grow from US$ 8.92 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach US$ 23.62 billion by 2031; it is expected to register a CAGR of 13.0% during 2023-2031. The radiation oncology market growth is attributed to the increasing prevalence of cancer and surging initiatives to support developments in radiation oncology. Strategic initiatives by radiation oncology market players are likely to offer opportunities for market growth. The radiation oncology market report emphasizes the key factors driving the market and showcases the developments of prominent players.
Radiation therapy or radiotherapy is a common cancer treatment that uses radiation (usually high-powered X-rays) to kill cancer cells. Radiation therapy may be used independently or alongside other treatments, like surgery or chemotherapy. Radiation oncologists are healthcare providers who specialize in radiation therapy.
North America accounted for a major share of the global radiation oncology market in 2023. The North America radiation oncology market is segmented into the US, Canada, and Mexico. Radiation therapy is widely available for all cancer patients in the US, and the need for radiation oncologists is continuously on the rise. The number of these professionals also increases continuously owing to the developed healthcare infrastructure. Nevertheless, the American Society of Clinical Oncology approximately two-thirds of cancer patients globally are estimated to receive radiation therapy as a part of their treatment. In 2022, over 1 million cancer patients in the US are projected to undergo radiation therapy annually.
The government and healthcare authorities are taking several initiatives to encourage the adoption of radiotherapy. In June 2020, the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) introduced new clinical guidelines regarding radiotherapy for nonmetastatic cervical cancer. The new guidelines focus on precisely implementing steps and processes to conduct radiation therapy. The Canadian Association of Radiation Oncology (CARO) has established specific guidelines about radiation oncology. A study published in the Japanese Journal of Clinical Oncology reports that nearly 35,000 patients in Ontario receive radiation therapy annually, accounting for ~39% of cancer patients in the province. Canada's population-based, single-payer cancer system constantly changes to enhance access, diagnosis quality, treatment outcomes, and support. It has also positioned radiotherapy well, ensuring that people have sufficient access to this treatment. Nonetheless, access to the treatment needs close monitoring.
Canada plans to continue to innovate, conduct research, and change the practice of radiation oncology as its population ages and technology advances. Rising cancer incidence, government initiatives, and technology improvements are a few factors driving growth of the radiation oncology market in Mexico. The country specifically records high incidences of lung, prostate, and breast cancer, resulting in an elevated demand for radiation therapy for effective treatment. The government of Mexico focuses on attracting significant foreign investments and international players. For instance, in 2018, Elekta received a tender from the government of Mexico to deliver radiation therapy systems. Such collaborations are estimated to boost the Mexico radiation oncology market during the forecast period.
The US Food and Drug Administration, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and American Society for Radiation Oncology are among the primary and secondary sources referred to while preparing the radiation oncology market report.
