The global radiation oncology market size reached USD 8.6 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 14.9 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3% during 2025-2033. Technological advancements, rising cancer incidence, increasing awareness regarding oncology radiation, government initiatives, and collaborations, regulatory approvals for new therapies, and the trend towards personalized medicine are some of the factors fostering the market growth.
Major Market Drivers: The radiation oncology market growth is fueled by the factors, including the surging prevalence of cancer across the globe. The high demand for effective and accurate treatment methods prompts the development of image-guided radiation therapy and proton therapy, which is further stimulating the market growth. Another trend is also the rise in the number of geriatric population that is statistically more prone to cancer. In addition, investments in the development of medical centers, especially in developing countries, and availability of government and private cancer screening and prevention initiatives are driving the radiation oncology market share. In line with this, research institutions and companies are actively joining forces for the development of innovative radiation therapies, which is favoring the market growth.
Key Market Trends: One of the key radiation oncology market trends is the shift toward hypofractionated and ultra-hypofractionated therapies, in which higher doses of radiation are given over few sessions. This approach is convenient for patients and reduces medical expenditures. Moreover, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in treatment planning systems is growing, producing more tailored administration patterns which deliver radiation more precisely to the affected location than traditional systems while reducing damage to surrounding healthy tissue, which is accelerating the market growth. Furthermore, multimodality treatments continue to provide a boon, combining radiation therapy with other treatments like surgery, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy, which further improves therapeutic outcomes. Apart from this, the growing trend towards therapeutic scheduling that minimizes the impact of the therapy on the patient's quality of life is driving the radiation oncology market growth.
Geographical Trends: At present, North America is at the forefront of the world's radiation oncology market. Several factors contribute to this region's dominance, including the advanced healthcare infrastructure, high healthcare spending, and the presence of prominent device manufacturers. The region's strong market position also stems from research being pursued aggressively and high rates of new technology adoption, such as proton therapy centers. Moreover, Europe's market expansion is driven by stringent healthcare policies and large-scale public health programs that stress the importance of cancer treatment quality and accessibility. As per the radiation oncology market analysis, the Asia-Pacific is an up-and-coming region. Healthcare spending is on the rise, and cancer awareness is growing. The healthcare facilities are becoming more advanced in countries such as China and India.
Competitive Landscape: The competitive landscape of the market is characterized by the presence of key radiation oncology companies, such as Accuray Incorporated, Becton Dickinson and Company, Canon Inc., Elekta, Hitachi Ltd., Icad Inc., Ion Beam Applications, Isoray Inc., Mevion Medical Systems Inc., Nordion (Canada) Inc. (Sotera Health), P-Cure Ltd., Varian Medical Systems Inc. (Siemens Healthineers AG), ViewRay, etc.
Challenges and Opportunities: The radiation oncology market faces challenges such as high costs associated with advanced radiation therapy systems, which can limit market penetration in less affluent regions. Regulatory hurdles also pose significant challenges, as gaining approval for new technologies can be time-consuming and costly. Moreover, there is a shortage of skilled professionals in emerging markets, which hampers the adoption of advanced therapies. However, these challenges also present opportunities. For example, the development of cost-effective radiation therapy machines can help penetrate low-income markets. Educational initiatives and training programs for oncology care providers can alleviate the shortage of qualified professionals.
Technological Advancements
One of the major factors influencing the global radiation oncology market is the continually advancing technology. Technological development, including the creation of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT), have redefined the treatment of cancer, enabling more accurate targeting of tumors with minimal damage to other healthy body cells. For example, IMRT employs varied intensities in the radiation doses it administers. This technology enables oncologists to conform the radiation beams according to the complicated shape of the tumor with minimal destruction of surrounding healthy tissues. IGRT, on the other hand, utilizes specialized imagining such as CT scans or MRIs to identify the tumor's exact location before each treatment session. In addition to producing high quality images of the tumor, IGRT offers test position verification and treatment carrying out several mechanized radiation beams. Further, lateral therapy advancements have resulted in the invention of proton therapy. This therapy administers radiation with high-energy protons instead of traditional x-rays, allowing superior dose concentration with minimal side effects. For instance, in 2024, a powerful irradiation system called the Flash was designed by a Chinese research group mainly from nuclear weapons related scientific institutions. The system is capable of administering ultra-high energy radiation and has the potential to transform conventional radiotherapy.
Rising Incidence of Cancer
The global radiation oncology market is primarily fueled by an increase in cancer occurrence across the world, mainly in developing countries. According to the most recent report on the global occurrence of the disease by the World Health Organization (WHO), there were over 14.1 lakh new cancer instances and more than 9.1 lakh cancer-related deaths in India in 2022. Breast cancer was the most frequently identified measure of global occurrence of the disease, accounting for more than one-tenth of all new illnesses. The prevalence of cancer rises as people age; moreover, a change in long-known chances and the presence of longstanding environmental are additional growth factors. The radiation oncology demand is also boosted by the growing number of cancer patients, which is predicted to be one of the most common causes of death internationally.
Increasing Awareness and Government Initiatives
Rising knowledge about the importance of early cancer diagnosis and treatment, as well as public sector proactiveness and allocation of resources to ensure that cancer patients receive high-quality care, are driving the growth of radiation oncology globally. Several public awareness programs and campaigns are being implemented by various non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and international organizations to boost patient awareness of cancer and the rising need for radiation therapy services. Government health agencies are also investing in cancer control, facilities development, and payment schemes to enhance access to radiation services and reduce the cancer burden, which is further driving the radiation oncology market outlook.
External beam radiation therapy (EBRT) accounts for the majority of the market share
North America leads the market, accounting for the largest radiation oncology market share
The market research report has also provided a comprehensive analysis of all the major regional markets, which include North America (the United States and Canada); Asia Pacific (China, Japan, India, South Korea, Australia, Indonesia, and others); Europe (Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, Russia, and others); Latin America (Brazil, Mexico, and others); and the Middle East and Africa. According to the report, North America accounted for the largest market share.
