Medical Cyclotron Market Analysis and Forecast to 2031: By Product Type (AVF Cyclotron, Ring Cyclotron), End User (Hospital, Specialized Clinics, Pharmaceutical Companies), and Region
The medical cyclotron market was valued at USD 205.3 million in 2021 and it is anticipated to grow further till USD 562.4 million by 2031, at a CAGR of 10.6% during the forecast period.
A particular kind of particle accelerator used in the detection and treatment of cancer is called a medical cyclotron. Charged particles are propelled by electromagnetic fields, creating radioactive isotopes that can be used to make medicines. Additional applications for these isotopes include positron emission tomography (PET) and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) for the detection and planning of cancer. Medical cyclotrons generate less hazardous waste than radioisotope-producing research reactors.
Global Medical Cyclotron Market Scope and Report Structure
Market Trends and Drivers
medical imaging is driving up demand for cyclotron systems, and these systems may be used for various diagnostic procedures. Medical cyclotrons are more in demand as a result of the electrically driven device's ability to produce a beam of charge that is primarily employed in industrial, research, and medical procedures. Except for the negative charge, the hybrid atom that makes up water is held in the new cyclotron machine. The radioactive new element created by the collision of positive ions and neutrons is employed as a treatment in medical research, driving demand for medical cyclotrons.
Market Restraints and Challenges
Over the course of the forecast period, restrictions on the usage of cyclotrons for the manufacture of new radioisotopes are anticipated to hinder the global market for medical cyclotrons. For instance, solid targets are frequently utilized for the creation of novel radioisotopes in a cyclotron, but their employment has a variety of drawbacks, according to a review study published in the EJNMMI Radio pharmacy and Chemistry journal in February 2018. These restrictions consist of: Target materials, which are necessary for the creation of novel radioisotopes with high purity, are frequently pricy.
