The global brachytherapy market is expected to exhibit a solid 10.9% CAGR over the forecast period, according to a new market research report from Market Research Future (MRFR). The report presents a detailed analysis of the global brachytherapy market’s projected growth rate and valuation on the basis of the market’s historical performance figures and an analysis of the key trends moving the market.
Brachytherapy is a type of radiation therapy performed with the source of radiation being placed near the site of treatment. The growing demand for cancer treatment is likely to be the major driving factor for the global brachytherapy market over the forecast period. The growing prevalence of various types of cancers has become a major concern for healthcare organizations around the world and the field of cancer research has gained considerable funding in the last few years from governments and private agencies alike, leading to growing demand for effective treatment methods such as brachytherapy. The high treatment rates of brachytherapy have been the key driver for the global brachytherapy market over the last few years, with the surgery gaining increasing popularity thanks to its consistent performance.
The growing prevalence of various types of cancer is likely to be the dominant growth driver for the global brachytherapy market over the forecast period. The growing prevalence of prostate, breast, lung, and colorectal cancers in the developed and developing world is likely to lead a growing demand from the global brachytherapy market over the forecast period. Rising awareness about cancer treatment is also likely to play a key role in the global brachytherapy market’s growth over the forecast period, as the awareness about cancer is lacking in some parts of emerging regions such as Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Africa. Growing availability and increasing affordability of cancer treatments in these relatively impoverished regions is also likely to be a major growth driver for the global brachytherapy market, as brachytherapy treatment would have been too expensive for most customers in these regions a few decades ago.
