Medical Cyclotron Market Forecast to 2028 - COVID-19 Impact and Global Analysis By Type [Ring Cyclotron, and Azimuthally Varying Field (AVF)], Capacity (10-12 MeV, 16-18 MeV, 19-24 MeV, and 24 MeV and Above), and End User (Hospitals, Specialized Clinics, Pharmaceutical Companies, and Other End Users)
The global medical cyclotron market is expected to grow from US$ 202.34 million in 2022 to US$ 332.49 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 8.6% from 2022 to 2028.
The rising research and development activities in radiology for the development of cancer therapeutics and diagnostics for cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and other conditions are contributing to the growth of the medical cyclotron market. However, the high cost of procedures and lack of expertise are restricting the growth of the medical cyclotron market.
Cyclotron therapy is commonly used to treat several types of cancer. The prevalence of cancer is increasing every year. Proton beam therapy is used to treat tumors that do not spread in the body and, thus, do not require brain surgery. The procedure is suitable for children as it prevents harm to healthy, growing tissues.
Furthermore, it is used to treat eye cancers such as orbital rhabdomyosarcoma and retinoblastoma. Radiotherapy is a scientifically sophisticated way to diagnose and treat cancer. According to the National Cancer Institute, the US government spent US$ 208.9 billion on cancer treatment in 2020 The increase in the development of artificial radionuclides, the surge in the number of therapies, and the rise in the prevalence of cancer are driving the growth of medical cyclotron market.
Based on type, the medical cyclotron market is segmented into ring cyclotron and azimuthally varying fields (AVF). The ring cyclotron segment to hold the largest share of the market in 2022. The same segment is estimated to register the highest CAGR during 2022–2028. Cyclotron therapy is commonly used to treat several types of cancer. The prevalence of cancer is increasing every year. Proton beam therapy is used to treat tumors that do not spread in the body and, thus, do not require brain surgery. The procedure is suitable for children as it prevents harm to healthy, growing tissues. Ring cyclotron is used for proton therapy; it utilizes high-energy beams of accelerated protons to treat cancer. A ring cyclotron is used for proton therapy and is designed with a CC-18/9 cyclotron used as an injector. As the ring cyclotron delivers high-intensity radiation, it targets only cancer cells and does not hamper non-cancerous cells. It takes nearly 10 to 20 microseconds for the acceleration of proton therapy. Thus, it helps control the beam by turning and switching off for low energy and the end of the therapy session. Proton therapy targets only cancerous cells and maintains the biological property of other cells. Therefore, it is expected to increase the demand for ring cyclotrons in medical applications. Also, the growing incidence of cancer worldwide is likely to influence the market's growth during the forecast period.
