ブラキセラピー装置は、放射性線源を腫瘍の内部またはごく近傍に直接設置する内部放射線治療の一形態であるブラキセラピーに使用される特殊な医療装置を指します。この装置は、周囲の健康な組織への被ばくを最小限に抑えながら、腫瘍に高線量の放射線を照射するため、特に限局したがんに対して的を絞った効果的な治療となります。ブラキセラピーは、さまざまな種類のがんに対して効果的で的を絞った治療法を提供します。治療精度の高さ、副作用の軽減、治療期間の短縮により、局所がん患者にとって貴重な選択肢となっています。
世界のブラキセラピー装置市場は、がんの有病率の増加、技術の進歩、低侵襲治療への嗜好の高まりなどの要因によって、大きな成長を遂げています。例えば、International Journal of Radiation Oncology, Biology, Physicsが実施した調査によると、8,500人の女性のうち36%がEBRTのみを受け、64%がEBRTに加えてブラキセラピーを受けています。2003年から2004年にかけて急落した後(2003年の最低率は44%)、ブラキセラピーの使用率は着実に増加し、特に2018年から2020年にかけては76%に達しています。
促進要因と抑制要因
がん有病率の上昇
がんの有病率の上昇がブラキセラピー装置市場の成長を大きく牽引しており、予測期間中も市場を牽引すると予測されます。ブラキセラピーは、前立腺がん、乳がん、子宮頸がん、皮膚がんなどの限局がんに特に有効です。この方法は、高線量の放射線を腫瘍に直接照射するため、周囲の健康な組織へのダメージを最小限に抑えることができます。例えば、国立衛生研究所によれば、世界における主な死亡原因のひとつはがんです。世界全体では、2022年には約2,000万人の患者が新たに発生しました。2040年には2,990万人が新たにがんにかかると予測されています。
ブラキセラピーは、限局性前立腺がん、特に早期腫瘍の治療に適していると考えられています。膀胱や直腸などの近傍臓器への損傷を最小限に抑えながら高線量を照射することができるため、この増加する患者群にとって非常に効果的な治療法となっています。例えば、米国がん協会の推計によると、米国では2024年に約299,010人の前立腺がん患者が新たに発生します。
ブラキセラピーに伴う高コスト
ブラキセラピーに伴う高コストは、ブラキセラピー装置市場の成長を妨げる重要な要因です。装置への初期投資、継続的なメンテナンス、放射性物質のコストなど、このコストにはいくつかの側面があり、特にヘルスケア予算が限られている地域では、普及の障壁となっています。例えば、HOSPIDIOによると、インドにおけるブラキセラピー費用は2,000ドルから4,500ドルで、これは約16万から37万インドルピーに相当します。
アフターローダー、アプリケーター、治療計画システムなどのブラキセラピー装置の購入費用は、数十万米ドルから数百万米ドルに及びます。例えば、最新のブラキセラピーで一般的に使用されている高線量率(HDR)アフターローダーは、機種や技術によっては高額になることもあります。
例えば、米国国立衛生研究所(NIH)によると、HDRアフターローダーは2020年には平均で20万米ドルから35万米ドルの費用がかかり、年間の定期点検と線源交換費用は20,000米ドルをはるかに超えるといいます。
The global brachytherapy devices market reached US$ 1,024.1 million in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ 1,902.7 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 7.2% during the forecast period 2025-2033.
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.
