Breast Cancer Brachytherapy Market To Reach $1.3 Billion By 2030

Breast Cancer Brachytherapy Market Growth & Trends

The global breast cancer brachytherapy market size is estimated to reach USD 1.3 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 6.9% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The increasing prevalence of breast cancer is expected to accelerate market growth. For instance, the Breastcancer.org reported that as of January 2020, there were more than 3.5 million women suffering from breast cancer in the U.S.

In addition, the rising adoption of brachytherapy by academic medical centers, oncology centers, and hospitals is expected to boost the market growth. For instance, in October 2018, Navicent Health adopted the Xoft Axxent Electronic Brachytherapy (eBx) System developed by iCAD, Inc. for the treatment of breast cancer in Georgia. Furthermore, in October 2018, SUNY Upstate Medical University also adopted the Xoft Axxent Electronic Brachytherapy (eBx) System to provide treatment for early-stage breast cancer.

Moreover, government hospitals in developing countries are installing advanced systems to provide better quality treatment for their patients. For instance, in August 2018, Eckert and Ziegler BEBIG delivered and installed SagiNova HDR afterloader at BP Koirala Memorial Cancer Hospital of Nepal. SagiNova is suitable for interstitial breast implants. Hence, the use of such brachytherapy systems by hospitals is expected to fuel market growth.

Market players entering into strategic initiatives such as collaborations and partnerships are anticipated to propel the demand over the next few years. For instance, in July 2018, RaySearch partnered with Eckert and Ziegler BEBIG to integrate SagiNova with the RayCare oncology information system and RayStation treatment planning system to improve treatment outcomes during brachytherapy.

An increase in funding initiatives for HDR units in medical centers by organizations is estimated to drive the market. For instance, in April 2019, OSJ Charities Trust Fund collaborated with the National Federation of Italian Canadians to donate SagiNova for Santo Spirito Hospital as an alternative to external beam radiation therapy for a targeted approach and shorter treatment time.

Favorable reimbursement policies for oncologists, surgeons, and hospitals are expected to fuel market growth. For instance, HDR brachytherapy offers USD 11,000 as Medicare reimbursement for five days treatment period according to the coding issued by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
