Particle Therapy Global Market Report 2026

Particle therapy is an advanced cancer treatment that employs charged particles, such as protons or heavier ions, to administer radiation therapy directly to cancerous tumors. This method primarily targets energetic ionizing particles at the tumor location, aiming to improve treatment outcomes for patients with various types of tumors, particularly those that are difficult to treat using conventional radiation therapy.

Two primary types of therapies fall under the umbrella of particle therapy, proton therapy and heavy ion therapy. Proton therapy is a specialized form of radiation therapy employed in cancer treatment. It encompasses both single-room systems and multi-room systems, providing versatility in its application. Proton therapy is utilized for the treatment of various cancers, including but not limited to pediatric cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, and cancers affecting the brain and spinal cord. The primary end users of particle therapy are hospitals, academic institutions, and research centers. Particle therapy offers a targeted and precise approach to cancer treatment, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues and enhancing the therapeutic effectiveness of radiation.

Tariffs are impacting the particle therapy market by increasing costs of imported accelerators, beam delivery systems, superconducting magnets, imaging components, and control electronics required for proton and heavy ion therapy systems. North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on specialized imported equipment, while Asia-Pacific faces higher capital costs for new installations. These tariffs are raising upfront investment requirements and extending project timelines for new therapy centers. However, they are also encouraging local manufacturing partnerships, regional assembly capabilities, and long-term innovation in cost-efficient particle therapy system design.

The particle therapy market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.36 billion in 2025 to $1.53 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising cancer incidence rates, early adoption of proton therapy technologies, expansion of specialized oncology centers, increasing clinical evidence supporting particle therapy, investments by academic research hospitals.

The particle therapy market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.44 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expansion of personalized cancer treatment approaches, increasing healthcare spending on advanced oncology care, growing demand for precision radiation therapies, technological advancements in accelerator systems, rising adoption in emerging healthcare markets. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of pencil beam scanning systems, rising deployment of single-room particle therapy centers, growing use of carbon ion therapy, expansion of precision treatment planning capabilities, enhanced focus on pediatric oncology applications.

The increasing prevalence of cancer is anticipated to drive the growth of the particle therapy market in the future. Cancer is a complex and varied group of diseases marked by the abnormal growth and multiplication of cells in the body. Particle therapy effectively treats cancer through precise radiation delivery, utilizing positively charged particles (protons) that are accelerated to high speeds and focused on the tumor. For instance, in April 2024, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), a France-based intergovernmental agency, reported that nearly 20 million new cancer cases were recorded in 2022, resulting in almost 10 million deaths. Projections based on demographic trends indicate that the annual incidence of new cancer cases could reach 35 million by 2050, representing a 77% increase from the 2022 figures. Therefore, the rising prevalence of cancer is a key factor driving the growth of the particle therapy market.

Key companies in the particle therapy market are intensifying their efforts to develop innovative therapies, with a particular focus on proton therapy solutions, to gain a competitive advantage. Proton therapy technology, a sophisticated form of cancer treatment utilizing protons and positively charged particles, delivers precise and targeted radiation to cancer cells. For instance, in April 2023, P-Cure, an Israel-based high-med-tech company, obtained clearance from the United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) for its Adaptive Proton Therapy Solution, allowing sales in the USA. This affordable proton therapy technology is designed for targeted cancer treatment with significantly reduced treatment-related side effects. P-Cure's innovative upright solution, the world's first FDA-approved methodology for patient positioning, enables seated treatment, enhancing both patient comfort and clinical outcomes.

In February 2025, Ion Beam Applications S.A. (IBA), a Belgium-based provider of particle accelerator technology and proton therapy solutions, partnered with the Asian Institute of Gastroenterology (AIG) to enhance cancer care in South Asia through advanced proton therapy. Under the partnership, IBA will supply its ProteusONE compact proton therapy system to the new Oncology Centre at AIG Hospitals' Gachibowli campus in Hyderabad, India, supporting the expansion of state-of-the-art proton therapy capabilities in the region. AIG Hospitals is an India-based healthcare institution specializing in gastroenterology and comprehensive cancer care services.
