The global Gamma Knife Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 239.1 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.4% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Gamma Knife is a non-invasive surgical procedure that uses high doses of gamma radiation to treat brain tumors and other brain-related disorders. It utilizes multiple beams of gamma rays that converge at a focal point to destroy or disable diseased tissue while surrounding healthy tissue remains largely unaffected. Gamma Knife is majorly used in the treatment of conditions such as brain tumors, vascular disorders like arteriovenous malformations and aneurysms, trigeminal neuralgia and functional disorders. With advanced precision and minimal invasion as compared to conventional surgery, Gamma Knife offers faster recovery time and lower risk of complications.
Market key trends:
One of the major trends in the Gamma Knife market is the technological advancements in Gamma Knife systems. Key players are focusing on developing next generation Gamma Knife systems with upgraded features such as real-time visualization, wireless connectivity, integrated imaging capabilities and improved dose planning software. For instance, Leksell Gamma Knife Icon by Elekta features advanced imaging for high precision treatment planning and delivery. Moreover, increasing preference for non-invasive procedures among geriatric population who are more prone to brain-related disorders is expected to drive the demand for Gamma Knife over the forecast period.
Porter’s Analysis
Threat of new entrants: Low, as gamma knife technologies requires high capital investments and well-established distribution networks.
Bargaining power of buyers: Moderate, as there are few alternative treatments for brain tumors and patients have inelastic demand.
