Proton therapy has become a subject of considerable interest in the radiation oncology community and it is expected that there will be a substantial growth in proton treatment facilities during the next decade. Proton therapy, one of the most intriguing developments in cancer treatment, carries a price tag as intimidating as its size. At a cost of US$ 125 Million, and sometimes much more, today's centers usually fill a city block. Building and equipping a facility carries financial and logistical challenges that dwarf nearly any other capital project. Even health care systems with deep pockets might not have sufficient land available, particularly in urban areas.

For the year 2013 actual Proton Therapy market of United States and Japan was in Million US$, whereas; potential Proton Therapy market for United States was in double digit Billion US$ and of Japan it was in single Billion digit US$. In Unites States Actual numbers of patients for Proton Therapy is in Thousands whereas; its potential numbers of patients is in Millions. IBA & Mitsubishi dominates the proton therapy market in United States and Japan respectively. However other players like Varian, Mevion, Hitachi etc. have also started to make their presence felt in the market.

Renub Research study titled "United States and Japan – Proton Therapy Market, Patients & Forecast" provides a comprehensive assessment of the fast-evolving, high-growth of Proton Therapy Market. In this report we have studied the market in two parts a) Actual Market and b) Potential Market. The report also talks about list of all operational and future Proton Therapy centers; Economics of proton therapy including reimbursement policies. This 75 page report with 22 Figures and 9 Tables studies the Proton Therapy of 6 Companies.

Note: *Actual Market is the current market which is already present

**Potential Market is the market which can be achieved; but it has yet not been achieved due to demand and supply gap. At present only a few proton therapy centers are available that can treat a limited number of patients each year, but the potential candidate demand for more proton therapy centers are very high.
