Improved Testing Capabilities Help Eliminate Issues of Low Emittance Beam Generation
The business of electron beam linear accelerator machines is estimated to reach US$ 1 Bn by the end of 2030. However, equipment manufacturers need to address issues of low emittance beam generation and electron cloud collective instabilities. Manufacturers in the electron beam linear accelerators market can achieve this by increasing their testing capabilities to create availability for quality machines.
Companies in the electron beam linear accelerators market are increasing their focus in remanufacturing and repairing of machines. For instance, Altair— a manufacturer of linear accelerators (LINACs), is offering custom solutions to innovate in electron beam linear accelerators. In order to gain a competitive edge over other manufacturers, companies are delivering turnkey solutions in machines that deploy various energy outputs. Investments in testing and tuning facilities are emerging as a recurring trend of established market players.
Cost Efficient Electron Guns Emerge as Alternative to Electron Beam LINACs
The electron beam linear accelerators market is predicted to expand at a moderate CAGR during the forecast period, as alternate and cost-efficient solutions such as electron guns are replacing electron beam linear accelerators. As such, the technology of electron guns is yet to gain widespread acceptance by medical professionals. Depending on the expenditure capacity of hospitals in lower middle income countries (LMICs) and high income countries (HICs), manufacturers in the electron beam linear accelerators market should strategically target their product offerings.
Leading cancer physicians are increasing their service in Intraoperative Radiation Therapy (IORT) for cancer patients during surgery. Hence, IntraOp Medical Corporation is gaining popularity as one of the well-known innovators for portable electron-beam Intraoperative Radiation Therapy (IORT) with the help of their flagship product—the Intraop® Mobetron®.

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.
