In 2016, the global market for medical cyclotrons was worth USD 118.2 millions. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR in excess of 10.9 percent over the forecast period. Market growth is driven by the rising incidence of cancer and a growing preference for nuclear scans to provide accurate diagnosis. There are also cost advantages over outsourced radioactive tracers, as well as technologically advanced diagnostic tools.
Radiotherapy is one the most technologically advanced techniques used to diagnose and treat cancerous cells. The World Nuclear Association estimates that around 40 million procedures worldwide are performed each year using nuclear medicine, which has a growth rate of 5% annually.
One-tenth of the population in developed countries is treated with radioisotopes and nuclear medicine. Because of their accuracy, nuclear diagnostics are expected to grow in popularity, which will give rise to a substantial market.
The market is expected to grow with the introduction of PET cyclotrons, and the closure of nuclear reactors like the Tomari nuclear power plant in Japan. These devices are becoming more popular due to technological compatibility and a built-in shield. Market growth is expected to increase due to the increasing acceptance of cyclotrons.
The market can be divided into four segments based on product: 10-12 MeV to 16-18 MeV to 19 -24 MeV to 24 MeV and beyond. The market was dominated by cyclotrons between 16 and 18 MeV, which accounted for over 55.0% of total market revenue in 2016. This segment's growth can be attributed to the rising demand for nuclear scans and the increasing incidence of cancer. A significant share of the market is also held by cyclotrons with a range between 10-12 MeV. They are used in hospitals and diagnostic centers that perform nuclear scans.
The cyclotrons that are in the 10-12 MeV range are smaller than other particle accelerators. There are two options available for healthcare professionals: shielded and unshielded. Dual-particle capability is provided by these devices, which are capable of absorbing dual-target radiations such as a proton beam current between 60 and 130?A or a deuteron beam current 60??A. Asia Pacific is home to the most cyclotrons within the 16-18 MeV range, due to the higher demand for nuclear scans at hospitals and diagnostic centers.
The cost-effective solution for producing PET and SPECT radioisotopes is to use cycltrons with a range of 19-24 MeV. These accelerators can be used to produce large quantities of SPECT radioisotopes such as Ga-67, Ge-68 and I-123. Customers have many research, diagnostic and treatment needs that clotrons between 19-24 MeV are most suitable for. From 2017 to 2025, the 19-24 MeV segment will see the greatest revenue growth.
The demand for medical cyclotrons will rise due to increasing acceptance of PET-associated medical accelerators in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. The demand for nuclear scans is increasing due to increased awareness of cancer. The global medical cyclotron market is expected to grow due to increased demand for nuclear scans, and an increase in awareness about cancer.
In 2016, the Asia Pacific region accounted for the largest market share. Due to the increasing demand for nuclear scans, and the growing number of cancer patients, the region will continue to dominate the market throughout the forecast period. The region's market is also growing due to increased investments in healthcare infrastructure, the shutting down of nuclear reactors and the increasing demand for cost-effective solutions.
Japan was the APAC market leader as of 2016. Japan will remain the country's largest revenue contributor, with an estimated 77.0% share by 2025. The availability of radioactive tracer is expected to lead to an increase in nuclear scans throughout the forecast period.
Japan shut down its last nuclear reactor at Tomari's nuclear plant in 2012. This nuclear plant was the main source of radioactive radioactive isotopes that were used in radioactive tracers for medical diagnosis. Japan saw the installation of the most number of particle accelerators, and it is expected to add 49 more accelerators by 2025. The market for medical cyclotrons is expected to grow at 11.6% annually due to the high demand in Asia Pacific.
Over the forecast period, the European market will experience a CAGR in excess of 11.1%. Europe is expected to have the second-largest volume share during the forecast period. Due to high cancer prevalence, rising awareness about nuclear scans, and increasing awareness, the region will continue to be a major market player.
The International Atomic Energy Agency is an international regulatory body that allows the installation of particle accelerators. The IAEA has strict regulations that must be followed when installing these devices in any European nation. These clearly defined regulatory guidelines are important to ensure patient safety around radioactive devices.
Few key players dominate the market, including IBA, GE Healthcare, Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc., Advanced Cyclotron Systems, Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd., and TeamBest (Best Medical International, Inc.).
Due to the oligopoly of the market, there is fierce competition between existing players. Manufacturers are faced with high market entry barriers, strict regulatory compliance, and higher manufacturing costs. There are very few companies that have a greater market share than others. TeamBest, however, is working on an innovative product that has a 400 MeV power limit for particle therapy with heavy Ions. This will allow for more precise diagnosis and treatment.
