Global Superficial Radiation Therapy Market Research Report by Treatment Type, Application, Region - Growth Forecast from 2020 to 2029

Global Superficial Radiation Therapy Market Overview

"The Superficial Radiation Therapy Market size is expected to be worth around US$ xx Billion by 2021 from US$ X.xx million in 2031, growing at a CAGR of X.x% during the forecast period 2021 to 2031."

Superficial radiation therapy is a treatment method for non-melanoma skin cancer used at an early stage. It is a non-invasive procedure and is in use for more than a century. The low-dose therapy works by penetrating 5 millimeters into the skin and supplying calibrate and precise doses of radiation. Superficial radiation therapy is effective, less painful, and a cosmetic alternative to surgery for certain types of cancers. Cell division in abnormal cells is disrupted through radiation.

These abnormal cells are also known as tumor cells and divide rapidly, thus making them an easy target for radiation. Superficial radiation therapy also works for some benign conditions such as heterotopic ossification, Dupuytren's contracture, psoriasis, Ledderhose disease, etc. Superficial radiation therapy systems treat non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSC), i.e., squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and basal cell carcinoma (BCC).

Dynamics

An increase in the number of cancer patients around the globe is considered to be one of the primary reasons driving the global superficial radiation therapy market. Additionally, there is a rise in the inclination toward non-invasive treatment procedures, which enhances the market growth of superficial radiation therapy systems.

Non-invasive procedures are preferable as they are less painful and reduce the trauma that patients go through during the course of treatment. Superficial radiation therapy eliminates the risk of infections after the surgery and other complications. Designing systems that provide accurate penetration of radiation is essential for providing exceptional treatment. The development of such technology in the near future will have a positive impact on the global superficial radiation therapy market.

The lack of medical professionals capable of performing superficial radiation therapy is one of the factors restraining the growth of the global superficial radiation therapy market. Along with that, the procedure is expensive, making it difficult for people to access the treatment. Businesses and vendors in the superficial radiation therapy market will be required to devise strategies that can overcome these restraints.
