Radiotherapy Motion Management Market Overview

This Radiotherapy Motion Management market study offers a comprehensive analysis of the business models, key strategies, and respective market shares of some of the most prominent players in this landscape. Along with an in-depth commentary on the key influencing factors, market statistics in terms of revenues, segment-wise data, region-wise data, and country-wise data are offered in the full study.

This study is one of the most comprehensive documentation that captures all the facets of the evolving Radiotherapy Motion Management market.

During delivery of radiation dose to patient, tumor motion due to respiratory motion may result in varied dose to the target volume and the normal tissue surrounding it. Thus there is a need to control or mange the motion of the tumor during the treatment. Radiotherapy motion management systems are products that offer solution to the tumor movement management.

Traditionally radiotherapy motion management was done by the breath holding method. However this method is not as effective as the latest technology available to controls the radiation to the target site. Primarily patient immobilization systems are used to restrict the motion of patients. Thermoplastic are one of the most common products used to restrict patient moment.

However, these patient immobilization systems are not sufficient to control the moment of tumor. This because technology is advancing to increase the precision of the radiation dose to the target. Thus, even small movement of the tumor such as 5mm could also adversely affect the radiation treatment to the target tissue.

These small movement is caused due to involuntary movement of the body and organs such as breathing movement. Thus there is a need for advanced radiation motion management systems such as intrafraction radiotherapy motion management system. Movement caused due to cough, breathing and bowl peristalsis can be controlled using intrafraction radiotherapy motion management.

Abdominal compression systems, respiratory grating systems and spirometric motion management systems are some of the intrafraction radiotherapy motion management systems that are popularly used for thoracic and abdominal tumors.

Radiotherapy Motion Management Market: Drivers and Restraints

Rise in adoption of radiation therapy, expansion of external treatment options for cancer, rise in number of installation of radiotherapy systems, increase in incidence of cancer globally are some of the factors that drive the growth of the radiotherapy motion management market.

However, some factors such as strong competition among players reducing the cost of consumables due to pricing pressure may hinder the growth of the radiotherapy motion management market. Furthermore, need for customization and compatibility with radiotherapy systems increases the cost of the intrafraction radiotherapy motion management systems could affect the growth of the market during the forecast period. 

Radiotherapy Motion Management Market: Overview

The radiotherapy motion management market is categories based on product type as patient immobilization systems and intrafraction radiotherapy motion management systems. Patient immobilization systems is further categorized as thermoplastics, vacuum cushions and others.

The Intrafraction radiotherapy motion management systems is categorized as abdominal compression devices, respiratory grating systems and spirometric motion management systems. Patient immobilization systems are the most common and basic method of restricting the motion of patients during radiation therapy.

However, due to the high cost of the Intrafraction radiotherapy motion management, it is expected to lead the radiotherapy motion management market among the product type. Hospitals and radiation therapy centers are expected to occupy the maximum share of the radiotherapy motion management market.

Radiotherapy Motion Management Market: Regional Outlook

North America is expected to occupy a dominant share in the radiotherapy motion management market. This is primarily due to the high adoption of latest technology, increased R&D spending, rise in adoption of radiation therapy, and increased cancer diagnosis rate. Owing to the rising incidence of cancer in the Asia Pacific region, the growth of the radiotherapy motion management is expected to be maximum in this region.
