[Research Report] The linear accelerator market was valued US$ 3,787.9 million in 2019 and is expected to reach US$ 6,803.7million by 2027; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.9% during 2020–2027.

Linear accelerators (LINAC) are prominently used in the medical industry for treating cancer patients. Cancer is the second major cause of death globally, and the disease has significant economic impact. In 2018, World Health Organization (WHO), through its cancer research agency named International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), had estimated that 18.1 million new cases and 9.6 million deaths have risen. Ageing and population growth, and changes in the economic and social factors causing certain causes of cancer are the key factors contributing to rising cancer burden. Moreover, most cancer cases are diagnosed at the last stage of it. Hence, as the incidence of cancer is increasing, the need for cost-efficient cancer care is growing, which in turn has led to significant investments on cutting-edge technologies to develop new treatment options around the world. Some of the major technologically advanced cancer centers in the world that are constantly developing advanced products and services for treating cancer patients include Macarthur Cancer Service (Australia), James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute (US), VallD'Hebron Institute of Oncology (Spain), Townsville Cancer Centre (Australia), Apollo Hospitals, University of Chicago Medicine Comprehensive Cancer Center (US), Spanish National Cancer Research Center (Spain), Christie Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (UK), Princess Margaret Cancer Centre (Canada), Abramson Cancer Center (US), Netherlands Cancer Institute, and Hong Kong Adventist Oncology Center.

Accelerators play a significant role in modern healthcare. Medical linear accelerators use high-energy x-rays to destroy cancer cells and tumors while sparing adjacent normal tissues. LINAC are considered as innovative devices, which have revolutionized cancer treatment owing to their cost-effectiveness. Further, the market has observed a momentous shift in cancer treatment with growing preference shift from invasive to noninvasive treatment procedures. The noninvasive treatment comprises radiation therapy, which is the cost-effective and most advanced treatment option, and it can be applied to treat a wide range of cancers, either alone or in combination with chemotherapy, surgery, and other treatment procedures.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Linear Accelerators Market

According to latest situation report from World Health Organization (WHO), the US, Spain, Italy, France, Germany, UK, Russia, Turkey, Brazil, Iran, and China are among the worst-affected countries due to COVID-19 outbreak. The outbreak first began in Wuhan (China) during December 2019, and since then, it has spread at a fast pace across the globe. As per latest WHO figures for June 30, 2020, there are ~10.18 million confirmed COVID-19 cases globally with ~503,862 total deaths, and the number is growing at varying rates in different countries. The COVID-19 crisis is affecting the industries worldwide, and the global economy is anticipated to experience the worst hit in 2020, as well as in 2021. The outbreak has created significant disruptions in primary industries such as manufacturing, medical, energy & power, electronics & semiconductors, and automotive. The sharp decline in industrial activities is impacting the growth of global linear accelerator market as they are the major supply and demand points for the market players. The factory shutdowns, travel and trade bans, and border lockdowns to combat and contain the outbreak have impacted manufacturing, supply, and sales of various electronic components that are required for linear accelerator manufacturing.
