Radiosurgery Systems Market Size, Share, Competitive Landscape and Trend Analysis Report, by Type, by Condition, by End User : Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021-2031

Radiosurgery Systems Market Research, 2031

The global radiosurgery systems market size was valued at $2.10 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $3.98 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 6.7% from 2022 to 2031.Radiosurgery is a type of external radiation therapy that uses a special device to position the patient and precisely delivers a single large dose of radiation to the tumor. Although it is called surgery, radiosurgery does not involve actual surgery. Instead, highly focused beams of radiation (gamma rays, X-rays, or protons) are used to treat cancerous tissues without surgical incision or opening. It destroys the DNA of tumor cells, making them unable to reproduce and grow. It also called stereotactic radiosurgery, is a precise form of radiation therapy. Medical conditions such as brain tumor, spine tumor, cancer require radiosurgery to treat malignant or benign tumor. The types of radiosurgery systems are gamma knife system, linear accelerator systems, and proton beam therapy.

Growth of the global radiosurgery systems market size is majorly driven by rise in number the number of chronic diseases such as cancer, technological advancement in healthcare sector and increase in the number of product launch and product approval for radiosurgery systems. Majorly, radiosurgery is used in brain tumor and spine tumor. Thus, rise in the prevalence of brain tumor and spine tumor anticipated to fuel the demand of radiosurgery systems for treatment purpose which boots the market growth. For instance, according to American Cancer Society, in 2021, it was estimated that, 83,570 individuals will be diagnosed with brain and other CNS tumors in the U.S. Among these cases 24,530 malignant tumors and 59,040 nonmalignant tumors. As per the same source, 18,600 is estimated number of deaths due to cancer. Moreover, radiosurgery is minimally invasive surgery which associated with many benefits. Thus, rise in the awareness about effectiveness of minimally invasive among population boots the growth of radiosurgery systems market. There are various benefits of minimal invasive radiosurgery such as faster recovery, lower morbidity and mortality, and shorter hospital stay, support their adoption. As a result, these devices replace conventional invasive procedures. Furthermore, the growing interest in these devices among patients suffering from arteriovenous malformations, epilepsy and Parkinson's disease is estimated to provide a significant boost to the market in the coming years.  

Advancement in the technology for radiosurgery systems anticipated to fuel the growth of market. Rise in the number of product launch for radiosurgery systems boosts the  radiosurgery systems market growth. For instance, in May 2022, Elekta, a leading innovator of precision radiation therapy solutions, announced launch of new radio surgery system known as Elekta Esprit, this is next generation Gamma Knife radiosurgery system. Moreover, increase in the adoption of key strategies such as collaboration, agreement, acquisition, and business expansion by radiosurgery industry boosts the radiosurgery systems market trends. For instance, in October 2020, Accuray Incorporated, a pioneer in the robotic stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), announced collaboration with Brainlab, a Munich, Germany based market leader in digital surgery and precision radiotherapy. This collaboration is for enhancement and expansion of Accuray CyberKnife treatment platform for the neuro-radiosurgery market.

On the other hand, the advanced technology of radiation therapy is prohibitively expensive in most developing countries, which hinders their ability to expand economically. Thus, this factor attributed to hinder the growth of market. Larger radiation machines require sufficient room. The lack of infrastructure in nations with low healthcare spending is one of the most important limiting factors.
