Treatment Planning Systems And Advanced Image Processing Market Growth & Trends

The global treatment planning systems and advanced image processing market size is expected to reach USD 3.0 billion by 2028, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 7.8% from 2021 to 2028. The increasing prevalence of cancer and rising product development pertaining to cancer research undertaken by key players are driving the market growth. According to estimates published by GLOBOCAN in 2020, 19.3 million new cancer cases were diagnosed and 10.0million cancer-related mortalities recorded.

As per the WHO, cancer is the leading cause of death globally and claims one in every six lives. According to Novartis, there are more than 200 types of cancers prevalent in the world and each requires a unique diagnosis and line of treatment. The growing cancer burden is expected to boost the demand for advanced oncology therapies with accurate and efficient results, thereby aiding the market growth.

Moreover, the oncology space is witnessing innovations and investments by market leaders to develop novel technologies that possess the potential to alter the treatment regime drastically. Advancements in healthcare infrastructure and the unraveling of opportunities in emerging markets are contributing to growth. Governments around the world are promoting public-private collaboration to accelerate product development.

Recent developments in the field of imaging technology have found wide-scale adoption in treatment planning, treatment simulation, and image guidance in radiotherapy processes. For instance, in January 2021, OncoLens raised USD 7.3 million in a Series A funding round. Additionally, General Atlantic invested around USD 200.0 million for launching OneOncology, a company designed for helping community oncology practices with technical data, innovation, and research. Furthermore, Purdue Pharma L.P is investing in its oncology R&D to diversify scientific research in high unmet medical need areas and thereby establishing a potential portfolio of delivering new cancer therapies to patients over the forthcoming years.

Furthermore, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are witnessing increased adoption in oncology software systems to improve diagnosis, treatment plan, simulation, and management. The amalgamation of AI/ML has significantly improved diagnosis and imaging segments of oncology care. One such highlight of these deep learning algorithms was detecting skin cancer based on skin photographs.

AI used in cancer screening and detection further aids in treatment planning processes and prevents collateral tissue/organ damage. For instance, the American College of Radiology founded the Data Science Institute to promote collaboration amongst radiologists, private and public agencies to adopt and develop Ai-based imaging solutions. Similarly, the American Society of Clinical Oncology and American Society for Radiation Oncology initiated CancerLinQ and the National Institute of Health founded Big Data to Knowledge initiative. Additionally, the increase in investments in AI for oncology is contributing to market development and growth.
