Analyst Perspective:

The image-guided radiation therapy market is poised to witness remarkable growth and transformation, driven by cutting-edge technological advances and the growing importance of personalized cancer treatment. Image-guided radiation therapy, with its precise targeting of tumors using real-time imaging, plays a critical role in minimizing radiation exposure to healthy tissue, thereby reducing side effects and improving patient outcomes. By bringing together artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) algorithms, image-guided radiation therapy systems have become even more sophisticated, allowing oncologists to tailor radiation therapy plans to individual patient needs with unprecedented accuracy. In addition, the accessibility and affordability of image-guided radiation therapy are expected to increase, ensuring that more patients can benefit from this revolutionary approach to treating cancer, ultimately leading to higher survival rates and improved quality of life for those suffering from cancer.

Market Overview:

Radiation therapy is a local treatment used to treat cancer cells with ionizing radiation. Image-guided radiation therapy is the method of using periodic two- and three-dimensional imaging during radiation treatment to guide radiation therapy based on the image coordinates of the actual radiation treatment plan. Image-guided radiation therapy can help make surgeries less invasive and precise, resulting in shorter hospital stays and fewer procedures. Image-guided radiation therapy is the most advanced technology for tracking cancer and sparing normal tissue. The technology is one of the most efficient types of radiation therapy, reducing the radiation dose to normal tissue, reducing side effects, and improving outcomes.

The growth of the image-guided radiation therapy market is driven by synergistic factors, including robust healthcare infrastructure, increasing cancer prevalence, conducive reimbursement policies, technological innovations, active research initiatives, well-defined regulatory frameworks, and rising adoption of minimally invasive procedures. Continuous technological advances, greater emphasis on non-invasive cancer interventions, and a supportive healthcare ecosystem are expected to sustain this upward trend.

Rising Prevalence of Cancer Worldwide Drive Global Image Guided Radiotherapy Market

Health systems across the globe are witnessing a substantial increase in the prevalence of cancer. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2019, ~9.6 million deaths were due to cancer across the globe. According to the same source, colorectal, liver, prostate, lung, and stomach cancer are most observed in men, while breast, colorectal, and cervical cancer are the most common among women.

According to Cancer Research UK, in 2020, ~0.16 million people in the UK die each year due to cancer. Cancer is one of the leading reasons of death globally, causing ~10 million deaths in 2020, according to the WHO. The most common forms of cancer in 2020 were breast cancer (2.26 million cases) and lung cancer (2.21 million cases). According to the American Cancer Society, the burden of cancer worldwide is expected to reach ~28.4 million cases by 2040, increased by 47% from 2020, with greater increases in developing countries due to demographic changes. However, this is further compounded by increasing risk factors that can be exacerbated by globalization and a growing economy. The Global Cancer Observatory (GLOBOCAN) estimates that there were 19.3 million cases of cancer worldwide in 2020. GLOBOCAN predicted that cancer cases in India would rise to 2.08 million in 2040 compared to 2020, an increase of 57.5%. According to WHO, nearly 2.3 million women worldwide were detected with breast cancer, and ~685,000 deaths were registered due to the same in 2020. According to Advocate Health Care, over 60% of cancer patients undergo some form of radiation therapy as part of their treatment. This is because radiation therapy is very effective in fighting several types of cancer as it destroys the cancer cell's ability to reproduce. Image guided radiotherapy allows the radiation therapist to locate the target area better and direct the beam of radiation at the tumor immediately before or even during treatment. Thus, the high prevalence of cancer is anticipated to drive the adoption of image guided radiotherapy.

According to data published by the WHO in March 2021, over 50% of cancer patients involve radiotherapy as part of cancer management and care. Moreover, according to the same data, radiotherapy is prominently used to treat the most common types of cancer, such as colorectal, lung, breast, and cervical cancer. From the patient's point of view, early detection and diagnosis can prevent unnecessary pain and suffering. It can also reduce the scale and cost of treatment. Further, government awareness will propel the market. For instance, Public Health England, in partnership with the Department of Health and NHS England, leads the “Be Clear on Cancer” program. The program aims to improve early diagnosis of cancer by increasing public awareness of the signs and symptoms of cancer and further urging people to see their doctors without delay.
