Analysts’ Viewpoint
Although the overall philosophy of radiotherapy practices remain the same, technical and operational aspects for the radiation oncology department need to be revised for COVID-19 infection control. Manufacturers in the electron beam linear accelerators market are increasing their focus in proprietary technologies to capitalize on business opportunities in skin cancer. However, linear accelerator failure rates are high in LMICs such as Nigeria and Botswana. Hence, manufacturers should adopt a data-driven approach to re-engineer machines that avoid issues of downtime and failure. Safe, reliable, and portable electron beam linear accelerators are eliminating the need for costly shielding renovations or retrofits, thus offering a cost advantage to hospitals.
Electron Beam Linear Accelerators Market: Overview
- The global electron beam linear accelerators market was valued at ~US$ 331 Mn in 2019 and is projected to expand at a moderate CAGR from 2020 to 2030. Increase in incidence and prevalence of skin & breast cancer, adoption of electron beam intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) for treatment of breast cancer, favorable insurance coverage for electron beam linear accelerators, surge in recommendation for electron beam therapy are anticipated to propel the global electron beam linear accelerators market.
- Electron beam linear accelerators are widely known as medical linear accelerators (LINAC), which utilize high energy X-rays or electrons to locate and confirm the tumor shape. This device is widely used for external beam radiation treatment, preferably for cancer. Electron beam linear accelerators deliver high energy X-rays to the patient tumor area, thereby destroying the cancer cells. Electron beam linear accelerator targets all body sites. Electron beam linear accelerators use microwave technology to expedite electrons to collide with the heavy metal to produce high energy X-rays.
- High energy X-rays provide the shape, while exiting the machine to conform the patient’s tumor by directing the customized beam to the tumor. The electron beam comes from the accelerator known as gantry, which is rotated around the patient.
