North America Radiotherapy Market Analysis

Radiation therapy or radiotherapy is a type of cancer treatment. Intense energy beams are used in this treatment to eradicate cancer cells while shielding surrounding healthy tissues from radiation exposure. X-rays are often used in radiation therapy. However, many other forms of radiation therapy, such as proton radiation, are also gaining traction.

Players in the market should expect to see a broad range of growth opportunities due to the improving reimbursement scenario and growing government and private investments to meet the growing demand for cancer treatment. For example, 3.05 million Americans received radiation therapy in 2016, and that number is predicted to rise by ~37% to 4.17 million by 2040.

North America Radiotherapy Market Drivers and Opportunities

Increasing Number of Conferences and Symposiums to Boost Awareness About Radiation Therapy

In the last few years, there has been an increase in investments in research activities focused on early detection of cancer, as well as the development of new technologies for cancer treatment and management. The education & research centers, healthcare authorities, and market players actively participate in numerous conferences and symposiums to share knowledge and showcase new technologies. In addition, such programs are prominently contributing to the spread of awareness about radiation therapy. The Ivy Brain Tumor Center at Barrow Neurological Institute held a radiation therapy symposium in March 2024 to offer attendees a chance to extend their knowledge and proficiency in the most recent procedures and therapies associated with radiation oncology and other related fields. Further, the American Society of Radiologic Technologists will announce its plan to propose Radiation Therapy Conference 2024 in September 2024. Leading radiation oncology professionals across the globe, including radiation therapists and medical dosimetrists, will attend the ASRT Radiation Therapy Conference to discuss innovation and the future of the field. The conference will allow the therapists to share their ideas and new aspects of radiation therapy. In addition, in July 2022, the University of Maryland School of Medicine conducted a symposium on practical AI in radiation oncology. Such conferences and meetings boost innovation and new product developments across the globe. Thus, the increasing number of conferences and symposiums to boost awareness about radiation therapy drives the North America radiotherapy market

Cancer Screening Programs and Implementation of Standard Guidelines

The implementation of preventive healthcare and disease diagnosis programs is growing across North America. For instance, all provinces in Canada have breast cancer screening programs for women aged 50–74 years. The Provincial Health Services Authority of British Columbia has a breast cancer screening program that offers simple, inexpensive tests to a large population base; the program mainly aims toward the early diagnosis of breast cancer. Moreover, in November 2020, the WHO announced the initiation of a strategic program to accelerate the elimination of cervical cancer. The organization announced three key steps to achieve the objective: vaccination, screening, and treatment.

Further, the CDC is one of 19 national organizations that are members of the Comprehensive Cancer Control National Partnership (CCCNP). Its main goal is to support comprehensive cancer control coalitions in states, territories, tribes, and U.S. Pacific Island jurisdictions. Such programs will likely boost cancer detection, supporting a favorable environment for adopting radiotherapy across the region.

Governments and healthcare organizations are focusing on implementing strategic guidelines and policies. For instance, in March 2021, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the WHO collaborated to issue new guidelines for procuring radiotherapy to improve access to radiotherapy worldwide. These new technical guidelines focus on selecting radiotherapy equipment, its utilization, and quality maintenance by healthcare facilities. The organizations issued these guidelines to increase the adoption and awareness of radiotherapy in low and middle-income countries.

Thus, cancer screening programs and the implementation of standard guidelines are projected to serve as lucrative opportunities for the growth of the North America radiotherapy market during the forecast period.
