Global $30+ Billion Radiation Therapy Quality Assurance (QA) Phantoms Market to 2024: Enhanced Patient and Machine Quality Assurance in Radiation Therapy

DUBLIN, Oct. 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Global Radiation Therapy Quality Assurance (QA) Phantoms Market: Focus on Technology, Therapies, Regions, Data - Analysis and Forecast, 2019-2024" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global market was estimated at $23.13 million in 2018, and is estimated to reach $30.26 million by 2024.

The global radiation therapy quality assurance phantoms market is expected to grow at a single-digit compound annual growth rate between the years 2018 and 2024, aided by the enhanced machine and patient quality assurance in radiation oncology, increasing the burden of cancer, and use of tissue-equivalent phantoms.

Radiation oncology is one of the medical specialties which involve the use of radiation for cancer treatment. Radiotherapy units such as clinical linear accelerators, cobalt-60, low-dose, and high-dose radiation therapy units are widely used for cancer treatment. The phantoms are used for quality assurance procedures, where the machines are tested on a daily, monthly, and annual basis. Beam calibration, dose calibration, treatment planning system, and patient positioning, among others, are some of the common features tested during quality assurance with the use of phantoms. The global radiation therapy quality assurance phantoms market is expected to be witnessing an impressive growth of 4.59% in the forecast period 2019-2024.

North America (34.89%), followed by Europe (29.17%) held the major share of the global market (in terms of revenue) in 2018. North America and Europe are expected to retain the leading positions throughout the forecast period, accounting for shares of 33.74% and 28.21% respectively of the total market in 2024. Enhanced use of radiotherapy units, increasing demand for patient and machine QA, rising burden of cancer, and growing demand for tissue-equivalent phantoms for QA, have resulted in the rise and enormous demand for QA phantoms. The demand for phantoms is increasing in the developed economies pertaining to the process efficiency and resulting radiation exposure to the patients.
