The radiopharmaceutical theranostics market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
•In recent times, the size of the radiopharmaceutical theranostics market has undergone rapid expansion. Its size is projected to increase from $2.88 billion in 2024 to $3.27 billion in 2025, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.7%.
This uptick during the historical period can be credited to the progress in radiopharmaceutical development, advancements in clinical research, increased investment in research, regulatory approval, and the evolution of nuclear medicine.
The radiopharmaceutical theranostics market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size of radiopharmaceutical theranostics is predicted to undergo significant expansion in the subsequent years, rising to a value of $5.76 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.2%.
Factors contributing to this increase during the forecasted timeframe include advancements in biomarker identification and verification, genomics and proteomics, specific development of radiotherapy, interdisciplinary partnerships, as well as patient advocacy and assistance. Key trends foreseen in the coming period comprise of ethical and legal aspects, the integration of telemedicine with theranostics, a more patient-focused approach to care, personalization of radiopharmaceuticals, and developments in nano-theranostics.
The anticipated surge in cancer occurrences is set to fuel the escalation of the radiopharmaceutical theranostics market. Cancer is characterized as a complicated disease with irregular cell growth that potentially invades and spreads throughout the body. Radiopharmaceutical theranostics facilitates cancer treatment through precise and individualized methods. For instance, the American Cancer Society, a United States voluntary health organization, foresees that there will be approximately 1.9 million new cancer diagnoses, and roughly 609,820 cancer-related fatalities in the US come 2023. Additionally, it's projected that 88% of these diagnoses will involve individuals aged 50 years and above. Consequently, the increasing incidence of cancer is propelling the development of the radiopharmaceutical theranostics market.
