Global Radiotherapy Patient Positioning Accessories Market to Grow at a CAGR of 4.1% During 2024-2032, Aided by the Growing Incidence of Cancer Across the Globe

Global Radiotherapy Patient Positioning Accessories Market Overview

Radiotherapy patient positioning accessories are used to position and immobilize patients to deliver radiation therapy to the intended area precisely. These add-ons lessen movement and safeguard nearby healthy tissues. Cancer diseases pose a major burden with an estimated 2.3 million new cases globally each year. Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers in the world. The market growth is driven by increasing preference for new immobilization solutions like thermoplastic masks and sheets, markers, vacuum bags and cushions, along with other patient transfer system among others.

Key Findings

• The demand for radiotherapy patient positioning accessories is on the rise, intended to combat the cancer diseases associated mortality rates. Approximately 2.3 million new cases of breast cancer, 2.2 million cases of lung cancer and 1.4 million cases of prostate cancer including other cancers occur worldwide.
• The North American region is likely to experience notable growth in the forecast period. The high prevalence of cancer, significant investment in healthcare infrastructure, and the growing demand for customizable positioning solutions play a critical role in boosting the radiotherapy patient positioning accessories market value.
• In May 2023, BIONIX LLC. launched IsoMark as the next generation of radiation oncology tattooing equipment to help patients get tattoos in preparation for radiation therapy treatments. IsoMark's fixed-depth needle prevents over-insertion into the patient's skin, guaranteeing precise tattoo placement and size for more precise procedure alignment. Furthermore, IsoMark provides a user-friendly, ergonomic device that is pleasant for the practitioner to grasp and operate. This product launch has enhanced the product portfolio of the company, improving its global position in the patient positioning market.

Global Radiotherapy Patient Positioning Accessories Industry Demand Drivers

The advancements in materials that improve patient stability and comfort during lengthy surgeries and lower the risk of pressure are increasing the demand for patient positioning tools. In May 2022, BIONIX LLC. certified its product “SecureVac” an immobilization system for MRI use. Previously, radiation therapists found that the SecureVac Immobilization System was a reliable, reusable method for consistently positioning patients receiving radiation therapy and now it has been ensured for patients and healthcare professionals that it is safe to use in MR environment as well. This certification has helped the company to widen its product application area for radiation therapy treatment.

Segment Analysis

Market Segmentation Based on Product Type Areas is Anticipated to Witness Substantial Growth

Based on product type, the market segmentation includes couch tops & overlays, immobilization solutions, patient transfer systems and other products. Accurate patient positioning is becoming increasingly important with the increasing use of advanced radiotherapy techniques like intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), and image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT), which is further impacting the radiotherapy patient positioning accessories market growth significantly.

Diagnostic & Imaging Application is Expected to Lead the Market Share Based on Application

On the basis of application, the market constitutes surgeries, diagnostic and imaging, and cancer therapy. With the growing use of imaging technologies for accurate tumor localization and the planning of therapeutic interventions, diagnostic and imaging technologies are gaining high popularity. Imaging technologies such as PET, MRI, and CT scans are essential for tracking a patient's response to treatment, mapping the location of tumors, and making cancer diagnoses. To guarantee that patients maintain a constant and accurate position throughout imaging procedures, the use of patient positioning accessories is required.

Competitive Landscape

In September 2023, Klarity Medical declared a long-term partnership with Leo Cancer Care, a leader in upright radiation therapy solutions. Klarity's dedication to offering cutting-edge immobilization devices that improve patient comfort and support during cancer treatment marks an exciting turn with this partnership. With Klarity's experience in creating superior immobilization devices, Leo Cancer Care's distinctive upright patient positioning and CT imaging system marks a substantial advancement in enhancing the treatment experience for patients. This collaboration has resulted in enhanced patient care for radiation therapy.

In July 2020, BIONIX LLC received an innovative technology contract for its radiation therapy planning product “Accu-Tatt” from Vizient, Inc., the largest member-driven healthcare performance improvement company. Accu-Tatt is a sterile, single-use, all-inclusive medical device for patient marking before radiation therapy treatment. This contract between the two companies helped in assisting the oncologists at Vizient member hospital and resulted in excellent patient care.

Other major players involved in the industry are Orfit Industries, Best Medical International, Inc., CDR Systems, Halma plc (IZI Medical Products), Klarity Medical, CQ Medical, Medifa, STERIS, and Hipac.
