The growth of the radioligand therapy market is majorly driven by increasing approvals and label expansions of RLT products, manufacturing scale-up, particularly for Lu-177 supply, rising adoption of PSMA and SSTR PET imaging for patient selection, and expanding reimbursement coverage supporting broader patient access.
By target, the prostate-specific membrane antigen segment accounted for the largest market share in 2024.
Based on target, the market is categorized into Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA), Somatostatin Receptor (SSTR), and other targets. The Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA) segment accounted for the largest share of the market in 2024. The large share of this segment is attributed to its high expression in prostate cancer cells and its minimal presence in normal tissues. This makes PSMA an ideal biomarker for precision oncology, enabling accurate patient selection and effective therapy delivery. The success of PSMA-targeted treatments, such as Pluvicto (lutetium-177 vipivotide tetraxetan), has reinforced its dominance, particularly in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).
By product, the Lutetium-177 vipivotide tetraxetan segment accounted for the largest share of the market in 2024.
By product, the market is segmented into Lutetium-177 Vipivotide Tetraxetan, Lutetium-177 Dotatate, Radium-223 Dichloride, [LU-177]-PNT2002, 225AC-PSMA-617, FPI-2265/ 225 AC PSMA - I&T, I-131-1095, TLX591 (177LU Rosopatamab Tetraxetan), Alphamedix (212PB-DOTAMTATE), 67CU-SAR-BISPSMA, and other products. In 2024, the lutetium-177 vipivotide tetraxetan segment accounted for the largest share of the market. Developed and commercialized by Novartis, Lutetium-177 vipivotide tetraxetan (Pluvicto) targets Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA), a protein highly expressed in prostate cancer cells, making it a precision therapy for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Since its FDA and EMA approvals, the therapy has become widely adopted due to its ability to extend survival and improve quality of life in patients with limited treatment options. Its use of lutetium-177 enables targeted beta radiation delivery, sparing surrounding healthy tissues while maximizing tumor control.
By region, the Asia Pacific market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
The market is segmented by region into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. The Asia Pacific region is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The key factors contributing to market growth include the rising cancer incidence, improvements in healthcare infrastructure, and increasing awareness of precision oncology solutions. Countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, India, and Australia are witnessing the growing adoption of nuclear medicine, which is supported by expanding diagnostic capabilities and investments in theragnostic. Governments & private institutions are actively investing in isotope production facilities, addressing long-standing supply challenges for key isotopes like lutetium-177 and actinium-225, essential for commercialized and pipeline RLT products. Regulatory authorities in the region also show greater receptivity to radiopharmaceutical approvals, creating a favourable environment for clinical development and faster patient access.
