Proton Therapy: The Global market reached $630 million in 2013

April 23, 2014 - PRLog -- Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, and Lalaye, France

MEDraysintell, the expert in strategic intelligence for the medical radiation industry, publishes today a white paper providing some information about the global Proton Therapy market in 2013-2014.

The world Proton Therapy market size in 2013 is valued at US$ 630 million, yet 2013 was not the year of proton therapy that we hoped for. A few things have been delayed by a year or so.

In 2014, the market is expected to grow by about 30%, driven by the expected opening of 18 new particle therapy facilities in 7 countries for a total of 41 treatment rooms. 2014 will be the first year in the history of particle therapy to see so many new centers opening their doors. In comparison, the year 2012 saw only two facilities starting to treat patients in a total of eight treatment rooms.

Proton therapy remains a niche market, it has been subject to substantial interests in the past decade and it is expected that there will be a significant growth in proton treatment facilities around the world in the foreseeable future. The race is now on to develop smaller and cheaper PT systems. Almost all proton therapy vendors already have or are developing a compact PT system.
