Image Guided Radiotherapy (IGRT) Market to Escalate to Furthered heights by 2023

Pune, India, October, 2018 /press release/- Market Research Future Published a Half-Cooked Research Report on Image Guided Radiotherapy Market Research Report.

Image Guided Radiotherapy or IGRT is a type of conformal radiotherapy involving the use of different scans and X-rays to treat a specific area of cancer growth. Image-guided radiation therapy integrated with a technique called intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), enables to shape the radiation beam to the outline of tumors in real time, even as they move in the body. This treatment targets tumors with pinpoint accuracy, and minimize the side-effects caused by damage to healthy tissue.

At the same time, the treatment allows scientists in the Centre for Cancer Imaging (ICR’s) to push boundaries with the very latest in single and combined imaging technologies to visualize tumors precisely and study their behavior, physiology, and growth. All these commutatively add up to deliver effective outcomes in the treatment of various types of cancer such as skin cancer, lung cancer, lung cancer, and others.

Therefore, the image-guided radiotherapy is considered as a proven, effective cancer treatment which is allowing its market to accrue vastly. Certainly, technological advancements transpired in the medical science and biotechnology is a major driving force that escalates the market on the global platform, improving the outlook for cancer treatments and sufficiently controlling the spread of the diseases.

Recognizing the traction, the market is witnessing globally; Market Research Future (MRFR) in its recently published study report asserts that the global image guided radiotherapy market will register a CAGR of 15.8% during 2017 – 2023, accruing pervasively by 2023. 

Cancer cases are increasing rapidly, worldwide, and the changing lifestyle is the main culprit.  Improving economic conditions are playing the main role in increasing the purchasing power of people, increasing access to the modern lifestyle. Addictions such as tobacco and alcoholism are again some of the dominant risk factor helping the cancerous cells and tumors to develop.

Additionally, factors such as increasing population, heredity reasons and genetic mutations (abnormal changes), exposures to harmful radiation along with the increasing per capita health care expenditures are substantiating the market growth. Besides, increasing governmental initiatives are supporting the market growth, spreading the awareness among people.

Conversely, the high cost of the treatment & devices, along with the side effects of the therapy and long approval time for the clinical trials are obstructing the market growth, slowing the market growth over the forecasted period. However, unavailability of comprehensive treatments especially in the developing regions is expected to provide the ample scope to the market to evolve further, prompting substantial investments for R&D to bring more novelty and betterments in the image-guided radiotherapy.
