Report Highlights

Radiation therapy can be used for prophylactic, palliative, or curative treatment. It can also be used as monotherapy or as an adjuvant with surgery, immunotherapy, and chemotherapy. The wide range of applications of radiotherapy has increased its adoption by physicians. The latest advancements in radiation therapy allow the delivery of a high amount of dose to the target area with minimum damage to nearby healthy tissues. This has increased the chances of localized tumor control and has improved cure rates, leading to an increase in demand for radiation therapy.

Key segments analyzed in this study are Low-Dose Rate (LDR) and High-Dose Rate (HDR) brachytherapy. HDR held the largest market share in terms of revenue in 2020. New product introductions and technological improvements are anticipated to bode well for overall market growth over the forecast period.

Prostate cancer held the dominant market share in 2020 due to the promising applications of brachytherapy in cancer treatment. On the other hand, breast cancer brachytherapy treatment is expected to witness the fastest CAGR over the forecast period due to increasing prevalence globally.

Recent advances in imaging technology have made this therapy more effective. In HDR brachytherapy, patients receive five weeks of external beam radiation therapy, followed by one to three sessions. In the treatment of prostate cancer, it allows safe escalation of the dosage to the tumor, while minimizing the dosage to surrounding healthy organs. 

North America held the largest market share in 2020. Brachytherapy is widely used in North America due to the advantages it offers over traditional methods as it is comparatively safer and efficient cancer treatment. According to the American Cancer Society, in 2018, more than 2 million new cancer cases will be diagnosed in the U.S. The healthcare reforms in the U.S. have improved access and coverage for the population and they aim at increasing the efficiency of the health care system.

In Canada, Health Canada ensures the safety of medical devices and it verifies the specifications of medical devices mentioned by manufacturers. Health Canada has established the Canadian Patient Safety Institute (CPSI) to ensure patient safety. While the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) ensures that the radiation received by the patients is under the supervision of qualified medical practitioners.
