Global Brachytherapy Market Overview
Brachytherapy Market accounted for USD 688.5 Million in 2020 and is estimated to be USD 1415.8 Million by 2030 and is anticipated to register a CAGR of 7.50%.
Brachytherapy is a type of radiotherapy in which wrapped radiation source is placed inside or next to the area demanding treatment. Brachytherapy devices are mainly utilized for effectively treating cervical, breast, prostate, and skin cancer and as well as the tumors in several other body sites. Brachytherapy is a type of radiotherapy where a fixed radiation source is put inside or close to the space requiring therapy. Brachytherapy is ordinarily utilized as a powerful therapy for cervical, prostate, bosom, esophageal and skin malignancy and can likewise be utilized to treat tumors in numerous other body locales. Therapy results have exhibited that the disease fix paces of brachytherapy are either tantamount to a medical procedure or outer bar radiotherapy (EBRT) or are further developed when utilized in blend with these methods. Brachytherapy can be utilized alone or in blend with different treatments like a medical procedure, EBRT and chemotherapy. Brachytherapy diverges from unlocked source radiotherapy, in which a helpful radionuclide (radioisotope) is infused into the body to artificially restrict to the tissue requiring obliteration. It additionally differentiations to External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT), in which high-energy x-beams (or periodically gamma-beams from a radioisotope like cobalt-60) are aimed at the tumor from outside the body. Brachytherapy rather includes the exact situation of short-range radiation-sources (radioisotopes, iodine-125 or cesium-131 for example) straightforwardly at the site of the dangerous tumor. These are encased in a defensive case or wire, which permits the ionizing radiation to disappear to treat and kill encompassing tissue however keeps the charge of radioisotope from moving or dissolving in body liquids. The case might be taken out later, or (with certain radioisotopes) it could be permitted to stay in place.
Global Brachytherapy Market Drivers & Restraints
Rising number of cancer patients
As per to the World Health Organization (WHO), cancer is one of the foremost causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In low- and middle-income countries, about 70% of cancer-related deaths occur. The American Cancer Society reported that these countries have a growing number of cancer patients and they lack radiation therapy access. This factor is projected to provide innovative opportunities to the existing market players in these regions.
Technological advancements
R&D initiatives adopted by the key players and technological developments in the field of oncology treatment are some of the major growth boosting growth of the target market. Moreover, the key players are opting for acquisitions of smaller players to expand their regional presence. For example, in U.S., iCAD markets the eBx system through its subsidiary Xoft. iCAD quantified with over 12,000 installation opportunities for tomosynthesis systems in U.S., there is a significant opportunity for CAD in future and density assessment solutions for tomosynthesis.
However, higher reimbursement in field of radiation therapy and presence of substitutes in the market can restrain the growth of the global market over the forecast period. Additionally, side effects of the treatment will also limit the target market in the coming years.
