Brachytherapy Market

Brachytherapy Market Research, 2031

The global brachytherapy market was valued at $0.83 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $1.6 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 7.1% from 2022 to 2031. Brachytherapy is a procedure used to treat certain types of cancer and other conditions. It involves placing radioactive material inside the body. This is sometimes called internal radiation. Brachytherapy is an innovative cancer treatment that places radiation directly inside the tumor, or at the surgical margin allowing for a highly targeted treatment dose to be delivered to the target region, while limiting dose to surrounding, critical structures.

COVID-19 outbreak is anticipated to have a negative impact on the brachytherapy market in the fiscal year of 2020. In the fiscal year 2020, companies have faced a reduction in their revenues. Major market players have witnessed a decline in sales of brachytherapy devices, which proves that the market was significantly affected by COVID-19 and declined the growth of the brachytherapy market in 2020. The COVID-19 and the associated restrictions and lockdowns affected overall sales of brachytherapy products, owing to the cancellation of appointments, the huge number of medical colleges and hospitals across the globe were reconstructed to increase hospital capacity for patients diagnosed with COVID-19 and the shortage of supply chain.
