Report Scope and Market Segmentation

Market Definition

Intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) is an advanced radiotherapy technique used in the treatment of various forms of cancer. IMRT is designed to deliver highly focused and precise doses of radiation to cancer cells while minimizing exposure to healthy surrounding tissues.

Global Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Increasing Cancer Incidence

The rising incidence of cancer globally is a significant driver for the IMRT market. As the number of cancer cases continues to grow, the demand for effective and targeted radiation therapy methods like IMRT is also increasing. Thus, the market for intensity-modulated radiotherapy market is being driven by a number of factors, including the adoption of IMRT, which is growing in emerging markets due to increased healthcare spending and the expansion of healthcare infrastructure.

• Rising Geriatric Population

The rising cancer incidence and population ageing are two of the most important factors driving market growth. Globocan predicts that the number of new cancer cases will rise by 47% from 2020 to 28.4 million over the next two decades. Furthermore, the elderly are more vulnerable to cancer, and life expectancy in developing countries has surpassed 80 years. These are the certain factors which help the market to grow.

• Favourable Reimbursement Policies

In many developed countries, there are favourable reimbursement policies for radiotherapy treatments, including IMRT. This financial support encourages patients to opt for advanced and effective treatments like IMRT.

Moreover, increased awareness about the benefits of IMRT among patients, healthcare professionals, and referring physicians has led to greater acceptance and adoption of this treatment modality. This further accelerate the market growth. 

Opportunities

• Increasing advancements in radiation therapy technologies to improve treatment

Ongoing advancements in radiotherapy technology, including improvements in imaging, treatment planning software, and delivery systems, have enhanced the precision and effectiveness of IMRT. These advancements are attracting both patients and healthcare providers. Image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) involves the use of advanced imaging techniques, such as cone-beam CT scans and MRI, to precisely locate and track tumors in real time during treatment. This allows for adjustments in radiation delivery based on the tumor's position, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues. This precise targeting minimizes radiation exposure to healthy tissues, making it especially useful in complex tumor shapes and locations, which can, in turn, will create lucrative market growth opportunities.

Moreover, collaboration between technology companies, healthcare institutions, and research organizations has led to the development of more innovative IMRT solutions, which will also work in the favour of the market.

Restraint/Challenge

• High Installation Cost of Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy Equipment

The acquisition and installation of IMRT equipment can be expensive. This cost can pose a significant barrier to healthcare facilities, particularly in resource-constrained regions, limiting the availability of IMRT services which is expected to obstruct market growth. Moreover, lack of highly skilled radiation oncologists, medical physicists, and radiation therapists that can be simply is projected to challenge the intensity modulated radiotherapy market in the forecast period of 2024-2031.
