The U.S. radiation oncology market size is expected to reach USD 3.9 billion by 2027, expanding at a CAGR of 5.0%, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing the prevalence of cancer and technological advancements in radiation oncology are some of the key factors responsible for market growth.
Advancements
in technologies are anticipated to reduce the adverse effects of radiotherapy
and improve its overall quality. In addition, newer therapies tend to be more
efficient than their traditional counterparts. For instance, SBRT was found to
be efficient in treating laryngeal cancer with only five treatment fractions,
as per a clinical trial that is expected to be completed by 2021.
Advancements
in radiation oncology can enable the delivery of a high dose to a target area
without any damage to adjacent healthy tissues. This has increased the chances
of localized tumor control and improved cure rates, leading to an increase in
demand for the therapy. Therefore, hospitals and ambulatory healthcare
providers are installing more equipment, which, in turn, is boosting the market
growth.
For
instance, according to OECD, in the U.S., the number of radiotherapy equipment,
which included linear accelerators, Caesium-137 therapy units, Cobalt-60 units,
HDR and LDR brachytherapy units, and conventional brachytherapy units,
was 11.7 per 1000,000 inhabitants in 2019.
In
addition, increasing radiotherapy centers in the U.S. is anticipated to boost
the market growth. In January 2020, the University of Alabama at Birmingham
inaugurated its proton therapy center of Proton International. The center was
formed through a partnership between Proton International and the UAB. Out of
36 proton cancer centers in the U.S., Proton International at UAB was the first
facility opened in Alabama.
The
high adoption of cyclotrons is anticipated to drive the market. For instance,
in March 2019, the University of Alabama at Birmingham installed a 90-ton
cyclotron in its proton therapy center. Installation of a cyclotron will drive
R&D activities in the country and help meet the demand for isotopes.
Key
players tend to undertake strategic initiatives such as collaborations,
licensing, and partnerships to adopt new systems that can reduce cost and
space; such initiatives are expected to drive the market. For instance, in June
2020, Accuray Incorporated launched the CyberKnife S7 System, which offers
advanced technologies including real-time AI-driven motion tracking and
synchronized treatment delivery. It can provide all SBRT treatments and
Stereotactic Radio Surgeries (SRS) within 15 minutes.

The U.S. Radiation
Oncology Market Report Highlights
- External Beam
Radiotherapy (EBRT) dominated the market in 2019 owing to innovation in
technology used in cancer treatment and an increase in the prevalence of
cancer
- In 2019,
Electron-emitting high energy linear accelerators held the largest revenue
share as a result of an increase in usage due to technological revolution,
an increase in capability to provide precise treatment services, and
favorable reimbursement policies
- On the basis
of technology, Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) dominated the
application segment in 2019 due to its ability to change radiation
intensity during treatment so as to specifically target cancer cells and
limit the damage to adjoining healthy tissues
- In
application, internal beam radiation therapy is estimated to witness the
fastest growth rate during the forecast period owing to the
cost-effectiveness and accuracy of brachytherapy.
