Robotic radiotherapy is an innovative cancer treatment technique that integrates robotic technology with precise radiation delivery to target tumors with sub-millimeter accuracy. It utilizes real-time imaging and motion tracking to adjust to tumor movement, such as that caused by breathing, ensuring minimal harm to surrounding healthy tissues. This method enables non-invasive, highly tailored treatments, enhancing patient outcomes and minimizing side effects.
The primary products in the robotic radiotherapy market include radiotherapy systems, software, and 3D cameras (surface-guided). Radiotherapy systems are advanced medical devices and technologies used to treat cancer and other conditions through radiation. These systems include technologies such as linear accelerators, conventional linear accelerators, MRI-linear accelerators, stereotactic radiation therapy systems, cyberknife, gamma knife, particle therapy, and proton beam therapy. These systems are used for treating various cancers, including prostate, breast, lung, head and neck, and colorectal cancers. The key end users of these products are hospitals and independent radiotherapy centers.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the healthcare sector, especially in the supply of essential medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and pharmaceuticals. Hospitals and healthcare providers are grappling with higher costs for imported surgical tools, imaging systems, and consumables like syringes and catheters, many of which have limited domestic substitutes. These escalating expenses are putting pressure on healthcare budgets, prompting some providers to delay equipment upgrades or pass increased costs on to patients. Furthermore, tariffs on raw materials and components are disrupting the manufacturing of vital drugs and devices, leading to supply chain delays. In response, the industry is adopting diversified sourcing strategies, expanding local production where feasible, and pushing for tariff exemptions on critical medical products.

This robotic radiotherapy market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The robotic radiotherapy market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.06 billion in 2024 to $1.17 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the improvement in robotic system accuracy, integration of AI in treatment planning, increased healthcare accessibility, rising focus on patient-specific treatments, growth in private healthcare sector investments.
The robotic radiotherapy market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.74 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.5%. The growth in the forecast growth in increasing global aging population, advancements in machine learning for treatment planning, growing preference for outpatient treatments, expansion of robotic-assisted surgical systems, increasing collaborations between healthcare providers and technology companies. Major trends include advancements in motion management systems, growth of cloud-based radiotherapy platforms, integration of wearable technology for patient monitoring, development of smaller and more efficient robotic systems, rise in use of stereotactic radiosurgery techniques.
The forecast of 10.5% growth over the next five years reflects a slight reduction of 0.1% from the previous projection. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Tariff barriers are expected to hamper the U.S. by increasing the cost of robotic radiotherapy systems sourced from Sweden and Japan, thereby delaying precision cancer treatments and elevating oncology department expenditures. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The increasing demand for minimally invasive procedures is anticipated to drive the growth of the robotic radiotherapy market. Minimally invasive treatments, which are characterized by smaller incisions, quicker recovery times, and fewer complications, are gaining popularity due to technological advancements, patient preferences, and healthcare providers' desire to improve clinical outcomes while reducing costs. Robotic radiotherapy, which offers highly targeted radiation to tumors, exemplifies the benefits of minimally invasive treatments. By precisely directing radiation doses to cancerous tissues while sparing healthy surrounding areas, robotic radiotherapy minimizes damage, reduces recovery times, and enhances patient outcomes. A report from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons indicated a 7% increase in minimally invasive procedures in 2023 compared to the previous year, underscoring the growing trend and highlighting the potential for robotic radiotherapy to contribute to this market expansion.
Key players in the robotic radiotherapy market are focusing on integrating cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance precision and accuracy in cancer treatment. AI-powered robotic systems reduce human error, improve consistency, and accelerate recovery times by utilizing advanced sensors, actuators, and algorithms. For instance, Tampa General Hospital introduced the CyberKnife S7 in January 2024, a state-of-the-art AI-powered radiosurgery tool. This innovative technology enables precise, non-invasive cancer treatments, targeting tumors with minimal damage to surrounding tissues. The CyberKnife S7 is an example of the advanced technologies that are making robotic radiotherapy an increasingly effective and patient-friendly treatment option for both benign and malignant tumors, as well as neurological disorders.
In May 2022, Brainlab AG, a German medical technology company, expanded its radiotherapy capabilities by acquiring MedPhoton GmbH, an Austria-based company specializing in robotic imaging solutions.
