Report Code: HCR 1064 Report Format: PDF + Excel

Overview

The Proton Therapy Market is estimated to reach revenue of $2.51 billion by 2025 from $1.32 billion from 2018, growing at a CAGR of 13.5% during the forecast period 2019-2025. The growth of the proton therapy market is owed to the ability or potential to lower the risk of side effects arising from the drugs in the market. Increased demand for proton radiotherapy has led to a significant increase in cancer centers in the world to establish proton therapy treatment. The report covers Proton Therapy Market size by applications, Proton Therapy Market share by top 5 companies and also the market share by start-ups during the forecast period.

Key Takeaways

  • Proton Therapy is the most accurate and precise form of radiation therapy used in treatment of cancer. Particle therapy facility used has numerous limitations and Proton therapy overcame all the defects arises.

  • Proton radiation can be delivered using scattered proton technique where protons enters on a relatively constant scattered radiation dose. Earlier synchrocyclotron was used to deliver the energy protons. Now, Isochronous cyclotrons is used which delivers high energy protons for therapy. Proton therapy includes external beam radiotherapy that uses ionizing radiation. Because of ionization, the radiation damages molecules within the cells, especially the DNA.

  • Major players in the Proton Therapy market are Ion Beam Applications, Varian Medical Systems, Fermilab Scientists, Optivus and Hitachi.

  • Proton Therapy obtain huge advantage over conventional radiation therapy due to the limited side effects and the painless treatment mechanism which helps to maintain the better quality of life for the patients.

  • It allows physicians to deliver higher treatment dosages that eliminates the major tumor cells without affecting surrounding healthy tissue or organs.

  • Introduction of LIGHT, which is the first commercial 3GHz linac system for proton therapy for active spot scanning mechanism using beam detection methods.

By Application - Segment Analysis

On the basis of Application, lung cancers segment is estimated to be the major segment due to the huge increase in lung cancer deaths in 2018 and accounted to a growth rate of 7.1% during the forecast period 2019-2025. According to WHO, Lung cancer is responsible for the largest number of deaths (1.8 million deaths, 18.4% of the total), followed by colorectal cancer and prostate cancer.

Geography - Segment Analysis

North America is estimated to hold highest share, of 36% in the market in 2018 due to the rising ageing population and the increasing number of cancer patients. As the awareness and adoption of proton therapy increases, the market became widened. To develop this, the facilities and availability of centers for treatment have also increased. According to The National Association for Proton Therapy, there are 25 centers and 11 centers are under construction in U.S. providing proton therapy treatment across the United States which consists of labs, therapy centers etc.

Drivers - Proton Therapy Market

 Increasing Cancer Prevalence:

The market is driven by increasing number of cancer patients worldwide which further increase the demand for proton therapy in the market. According to WHO, The global cancer burden is estimated to have risen to 18.1 million new cases and 9.6 million deaths in 2018.

Higher Aging Population and Awareness among the public

The demand for this form of treatment is expected to make a huge rise as an increasing number of medical professionals and patients are eager to know more about the proton therapy treatment process. And the rise in generic population further propelled the growth in the market. According to ‘Our world in data’ article approximately 70% of known cancer cases occur in those aged over 50, with 43 percent aged 50-69 and 27 percent aged over 70 years old.

Challenges – Proton Therapy Market

  • Strict regulations prevailed in the market and barriers for implementation of the therapy procedures makes investors hesitant to enter in the market.

  • High Therapy costs and insurance coverage issue became a lethal issue for companies to invest in the market. Insufficient clinical evidence to state that proton therapy is superior to traditional radiation therapy is the major reason that restricts insurance coverage.

Market Landscape
