Brachytherapy devices refer to specialized medical devices used in brachytherapy, a form of internal radiation therapy where radioactive sources are placed directly inside or very close to a tumor. The devices deliver a high dose of radiation to the tumor while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues, making it a targeted and effective treatment, especially for localized cancers. Brachytherapy offering an effective and targeted treatment method for various types of cancer. The precision, reduced side effects and shorter treatment times make it a valuable option for patients with localized cancers.
The global brachytherapy devices market is experiencing significant growth, driven by factors such as the increasing prevalence of cancer, technological advancements and a rising preference for minimally invasive treatments. For instance, according to the study conducted by International Journal of Radiation Oncology, Biology, Physics, of the 8500 women, 36% underwent EBRT alone, and 64% received brachytherapy in addition to EBRT. After a steep fall in 2003-2004 (with the lowest rate of 44% in 2003), the brachytherapy usage rate steadily increased, particularly from 2018 to 2020 (76%).
Market Dynamics: Drivers & Restraints
Rising prevalence of cancer
The rising prevalence of cancer is significantly driving the growth of the brachytherapy devices market and is expected to drive the market over the forecast period. Brachytherapy is particularly effective for localized cancers like prostate, breast, cervical and skin cancers. The method delivers high doses of radiation directly to the tumor, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue, which is crucial for patients suffering from these increasing cancer cases. For instance, according to the National Institute of Health, one of the main causes of mortality in the globe is cancer. Globally, there were about 20 million new cases in 2022. It is anticipated that there will be 29.9 million new cancer cases year by 2040.
Brachytherapy is considered a preferred treatment for localized prostate cancer, particularly in early-stage tumors. Its ability to provide a high radiation dose with minimal damage to nearby organs, such as the bladder and rectum, makes it a highly effective treatment method for this growing patient population. For instance, according to the American Cancer Society's estimates in the United States in 2024, about 299,010 new cases of prostate cancer.
High cost associated with brachytherapy
The high cost associated with brachytherapy is a significant factor that hampers the growth of the brachytherapy devices market. Several aspects of this cost, including the initial investment in equipment, ongoing maintenance and the cost of radioactive materials, present barriers to widespread adoption, particularly in regions with limited healthcare budgets. For instance, according to the HOSPIDIO, brachytherapy cost in India can range from $2000 to $4500, which is equivalent to approximately 1,60,000 to 3,70,000 Indian rupees.
The cost of purchasing brachytherapy equipment such as afterloaders, applicators, and treatment planning systems can range from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars. For instance, a high-dose rate (HDR) afterloader, which is commonly used in modern brachytherapy procedures, can cost high depending on the model and technology.
For instance, according to the National Institute of Health (NIH), an HDR afterloader will cost between USD 200,000 and USD 350,000 on average in 2020, with recurring yearly servicing and source exchange expenses of well over USD 20,000.
The global brachytherapy devices market is segmented based on dosage type, product type, technique type, application, end-user and region.
The High-Dose Rate (HDR) brachytherapy segment is expected to dominate the brachytherapy devices market share
High-Dose Rate (HDR) brachytherapy allows for the delivery of a high dose of radiation in a short period, enabling precise targeting of the tumor. This results in better tumor control with minimal damage to surrounding healthy tissue. HDR brachytherapy sessions are typically much shorter than those of Low Dose Rate (LDR), which makes it more convenient for both patients and healthcare providers. HDR treatments can be completed within a few minutes per session, whereas LDR treatments can span several days.
High-Dose Rate (HDR) brachytherapy is widely used in the treatment of localized prostate cancer. In prostate cancer treatment, HDR has shown comparable, if not superior, outcomes to LDR in terms of tumor control, with a shorter treatment duration.
For instance, in July 2024, GE HealthCare's MIM Software introduced MIM Symphony HDR Prostate to support high dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy. By offering direct tumor visualization from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images during live ultrasound operations for HDR prostate treatments, this novel technology seeks to boost clinician confidence and contribute to better patient outcomes. By providing MRI guiding and correcting MRI alignment during HDR prostate treatments, MIM Symphony HDR Prostate distinguishes itself in the industry.
