Revenue of Brachytherapy Market from 2017 to 2021 Compared to Demand Outlook for 2022 to 2032

As per the Brachytherapy Market research by Future Market Insights - a market research and competitive intelligence provider, historically, from 2017 to 2021, the market value of Brachytherapy increased at around 7.2% CAGR.

During the projected period, the market is likely to develop due to rising cancer incidences, and technical improvements in brachytherapy. The variety of imaging techniques available, many of which can be utilized in real-time, has substantially extended the brachytherapy options.

Ultrasound, Power Doppler imaging, positron emission tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging techniques are some of the techniques of brachytherapy.

As per the American Cancer Society, the number of new cancer cases globally is anticipated to reach 21.6 million by 2030, with more than 13 million cancer fatalities. According to the reports presented by WHO, cancer claimed the lives of around 10 million people in 2020.

Breast cancer is also one of the most frequent cancers, with an estimated 2.26 million new cases in 2020.

Radiation treatment can be used to treat cancer in three ways: preventive, palliative, and curative. It can also be used on its own or in combination with other therapies including surgery, immunotherapy, and chemotherapy.

Radiation's wide range of applications has raised its appeal among doctors. The most recent breakthroughs in radiation treatment enable a high dosage to be delivered to the target location while causing minimal harm to neighboring healthy tissues.

This has increased the possibility of localized tumor management and improved cure rates, leading to an increase in the demand for radiation treatment.

Which Factors are Propelling Brachytherapy Demand?

Advances in the healthcare IT industry, expanding healthcare infrastructure, increased public-private partnerships, investments in cancer treatment, and rising demand for advanced care solutions are driving the market expansion.

Radiation treatment is constantly changing and advancing owing to the advancement of groundbreaking technologies. People are being educated about cancer and its treatments through new initiatives and awareness activities.

For example, on 7 April 2022, also regarded as World Health Day, as per the strategy of WHO, the International Agency for cancer and research. Alongside, the Union for International Cancer Control and African Cancer Registry Network launched a publication to commemorate the occasion.

Why are Applicators and Afterloaders projected to offer Significant Opportunities for Brachytherapy Market?

The market revenue through Applicators and Afterloaders is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.6% during the projection period. Because they are more efficient and are utilized for patient guidance across the cancer care continuum, this therapy plays a crucial role in cancer treatment. Increased investment in cancer research and development also contributes to rising demand for the therapy.

Why Market revenue through Breast Cancer is Expected to Swell Significantly?

The market revenue through the Breast Cancer application is forecasted to grow at the highest CAGR from 2022 to 2032. This is mostly due to the rising incidence of breast cancer globally. Breast cancer has affected 2.5 million people worldwide in 2020, with 690,000 fatalities. Breast cancer has affected almost 8 million women during the period between 2016 to 20, making it the most common disease in the world.

The most frequent type of brachytherapy for breast cancer patients is intracavitary brachytherapy. In this method, a radioactive substance-containing device is implanted into the body and remains there until the therapy is finished.

Furthermore, increased government initiatives to raise awareness and technical breakthroughs in minimally invasive surgical treatments contribute to the market's growth.

Which Dosage Type of Brachytherapy is expected to Score the Highest Growth in the Coming Years?

HDR (High-Dose Rate) Brachytherapy commanded the largest revenue as well as a CAGR of nearly 8.3%, during the forecast period. The reason pertains to the advantages it provides to cancer patients.

HDR brachytherapy is a type of radiation therapy in which a large dose of radiation is delivered directly to the prostate. This implies that neighboring healthy tissue receives a low dosage of radiation and is less likely to be harmed or produce negative effects.

HDR brachytherapy can be used to treat a wide range of illnesses, including delivering accurate radiation to cancerous tumors while preventing radiation damage to surrounding tissue, instead of the five to seven weeks that regular radiation usually takes.
