The medical irradiation market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The size of the medical irradiation market has seen a swift expansion in the past few years. A growth from $1.69 billion in 2024 to $1.97 billion in 2025 at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 16.7% is expected. Factors contributing to the growth in the preceding period include an increase in cancer cases, the growing preference for radiation therapy, a rising elderly population, a surge in demand for non-invasive treatments, and the development of healthcare infrastructure.
The medical irradiation market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the coming years, a rapid growth is anticipated in the medical irradiation market size, reaching $3.33 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.1%.
Various factors contributing to this growth during the projected period include government efforts to enhance cancer care, increased public awareness of early diagnosis and therapy, improved disposable income, heightened emphasis on precision medicine, and the growing demand for targeted cancer treatments. Major trends happening during this forecast period consist of the incorporation of artificial intelligence into radiation therapy, online adaptive radiotherapy, the rising popularity of hypo fractionated radiation therapy, the use of proton therapy for accurate cancer treatment, and moving towards image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT).

The rising instances of cancer are set to boost the expansion of the medical irradiation market in the future. Cancer, characterized by unregulated cell growth, impacts various organs, leading to considerable morbidity and mortality globally. Medical irradiation, an essential cancer treatment method, leverages targeted radiation to harm or eliminate cancer cells while reducing the impact on healthy tissues. For example, a study by the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, a US non-profit health organization, projected that in 2023, 184,720 individuals in the US will be diagnosed with leukemia, lymphoma, or myeloma. Also, around 1,958,310 new cancer diagnoses are anticipated in the country in 2023, with leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma accounting for 9.4% of these cases. Hence, the rising cancer prevalence is fuelling the expansion of the medical irradiation market.

Leading organizations in the medical irradiation market are striving to outperform their competitors by introducing creative solutions like the Premium Dual-Energy Mobile System. This high-grade medical imaging device employs dual-energy technology to improve diagnostic capabilities and can be transported across different clinical environments, delivering frontline imaging solutions. For example, KA Imaging, a manufacturing company based in Canada, launched its Reveal Mobi Pro dual-energy mobile X-ray system in July 2023. The system is a all-in-one mobile X-ray solution, incorporating SpectralDR technology with KA Imaging's Reveal 35C detector. The ability to produce dual-energy and traditional images at the same time, using a single exposure at the patient's bedside, not only enhances patient and hospital outcomes, but also protects revenue by reducing expenses.
