Proton Therapy Systems Global Market Report 2026

Proton therapy systems represent advanced medical equipment utilized in radiation therapy for cancer treatment. These systems are designed to deliver proton beams with pinpoint accuracy to tumor locations, thereby minimizing harm to adjacent healthy tissues. In comparison to traditional radiation therapy approaches, proton therapy offers superior treatment precision and decreased adverse effects.

The primary variants of proton therapy systems include those equipped with robotic positioning tables, integrated CT scanners, and integrated PET scanners. Proton therapy systems featuring robotic positioning tables incorporate advanced robotic technology to ensure precise patient positioning during treatment, facilitating the accurate delivery of proton beams to targeted areas. This not only enhances treatment efficacy but also improves patient comfort. These systems are available in single-room and multi-room configurations suitable for treating various types of cancer, such as brain and central nervous system cancer, head and neck cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, among others. End-users of proton therapy systems encompass hospitals, proton therapy centers, and other medical facilities.

Tariffs are impacting the proton therapy systems market by increasing import and component costs for superconducting magnets, gantry structures, imaging modules, and high-precision electronic assemblies used across robotized tables, CT-integrated, and PET-integrated proton therapy platforms, resulting in higher manufacturing and capital procurement expenses for hospitals and proton therapy centers. The effects are particularly evident in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific regions that rely on cross-border sourcing of accelerator components and detector systems for brain, prostate, and head and neck cancer applications. These higher landed costs have contributed to extended project timelines and deferred purchasing decisions in cost-sensitive facilities; however, tariffs are also encouraging localized fabrication, regional supply-chain partnerships, and near-shoring initiatives, generating selective positive outcomes for domestic radiotherapy equipment producers.

This proton therapy systems 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 proton therapy systems market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.43 billion in 2025 to $1.58 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising incidence of cancer requiring advanced radiation therapy options, increasing installation of multi-room proton therapy facilities in hospitals, early clinical validation of proton beam delivery for pediatric and critical tumor sites, expansion of oncology infrastructure and dedicated proton therapy centers, growing awareness of reduced toxicity and side effects compared to conventional radiation.

The proton therapy systems market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.22 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for image-guided and adaptive proton therapy solutions, rising adoption of compact and single-room proton therapy systems, growing treatment volumes across lung breast and gastrointestinal cancer indications, expanding access to proton therapy in emerging healthcare markets, rising investment in precision oncology and advanced radiotherapy technologies. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of proton therapy for high-precision cancer treatment, increasing utilization of image-guided proton therapy with integrated ct and pet scanners, growing preference for single-room and compact proton therapy system installations, expansion of proton therapy applications across brain head and neck and prostate cancers, increasing deployment of proton therapy centers within hospitals and specialized facilities.

The rising prevalence of cancer is expected to drive the growth of the proton therapy systems market in the coming years. Cancer comprises a group of diseases characterized by abnormal cell growth that can invade and spread to other parts of the body. The growing incidence of cancer is attributed to factors such as aging populations, lifestyle changes, environmental exposures, and advancements in detection and diagnostic techniques. Proton therapy systems are widely used in cancer treatment because they enable precise targeting of tumors with high doses of radiation while limiting exposure to surrounding healthy tissue, which can reduce side effects and enhance treatment outcomes. For example, in January 2023, according to the American Cancer Society, a US-based nonprofit cancer advocacy organization, the number of cancer cases reached 1,958,310 in 2023, representing an increase of 3.16% from 1,898,160 cases reported in 2022. As a result, the growing prevalence of cancer is contributing to the expansion of the proton therapy systems market.

Companies operating in the proton therapy systems market are increasingly focusing on developing more compact and accessible solutions, such as self-shielded proton accelerators, to address challenges associated with facility space constraints and installation complexity. A self-shielded proton accelerator improves safety and streamlines installation by minimizing the need for extensive external shielding structures typically required in conventional proton therapy systems. For instance, in September 2024, ProTom International, a US-based medical equipment company, introduced the Radiance 330 C proton therapy system. Designed as a compact, modular fixed-beam solution, the system can be installed within or adjacent to existing linear accelerator (LINAC) vaults. It incorporates advanced pencil beam scanning technology, options for upright patient positioning, and integrated diagnostic-quality CT imaging at the treatment isocenter. The Radiance 330 C is intended to enhance the flexibility and accessibility of proton therapy by lowering facility requirements and enabling future adaptive and image-guided treatment workflows.

In June 2024, Atlantic Health System, a US-based nonprofit healthcare network, partnered with Mevion Medical Systems as part of its plan to acquire and install the MEVION S250-FIT Proton Therapy System. Through this partnership, Atlantic Health System seeks to improve the quality and accessibility of cancer treatment by leveraging advanced proton therapy technology. Mevion Medical Systems is a US-based company that specializes in the development and manufacture of proton therapy systems.
