According to FutureWise analysis, the medical cyclotron market in 2025 is US$207.52 million, and is expected to reach US$531.8 million by 2033 at a CAGR of 12.48%. The medical cyclotron market is experiencing significant growth, primarily due to the increasing demand for diagnostic imaging, especially PET scans, in fields such as oncology, cardiology, and neurology. This growth reflects the rising need for diagnostic imaging and the production of radiopharmaceuticals, particularly in oncology and cardiology. Additionally, advancements in compact and energy-efficient cyclotrons are promoting their use in hospitals and research institutions. Investments in nuclear medicine infrastructure and improvements in healthcare access in emerging markets are also fueling the expansion of this market. The adoption of radioisotopes for targeted imaging and therapy, coupled with the development of cost-effective cyclotrons, is further contributing to this growth. Moreover, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases and the global emphasis on early disease detection are driving demand for these technologies. A medical cyclotron is a type of particle accelerator used to diagnose and treat chronic conditions, such as cancer and heart disease. It employs a magnet and high electrical voltage to accelerate charged particles in a spiral motion. When these particles collide with a target, nuclear reactions occur, resulting in the production of radioactive isotopes. Due to their short half-lives (for instance, Fluorine-18 has a half-life of approximately 110 minutes), these isotopes decay quickly after being produced. Consequently, many research and diagnostic institutes have built their own medical cyclotrons to generate radioactive isotopes for various medical applications. These cyclotrons, often referred to as isotope-producing machines, generate radioactive atoms with short half-lives that are utilized in medical imaging and research. Chemical compounds, typically glucose, are combined with these isotopes to create injectable radioactive tracers for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans and other diagnostic techniques. During a PET scan, a radioactive tracer is injected into the patient's body. In recent years, functional or metabolic imaging has largely replaced traditional anatomic imaging. PET, a diagnostic technique, produces high-resolution images showing the location of radionuclides that release positrons in the body. It is well established that diseased cells first exhibit functional abnormalities before undergoing structural changes. Identifying these functional changes early on helps in developing more effective treatment plans, ultimately reducing morbidity and mortality. Ultra-short-lived radioisotopes, which have half-lives ranging from a few minutes to a few hours, are used in PET scans, and a medical cyclotron is necessary to produce these isotopes. Medical cyclotrons are circular accelerators that propel charged particles to high speeds in a vacuum tank before bombarding a specific target material. While cyclotrons can accelerate both positive and negative particles, negative ion cyclotrons are typically used globally to create positron-emitting radionuclides. Currently, there are about 25 medical cyclotron facilities in India, with several more cyclotrons and PET/computed tomography (CT) facilities planned to be operational in the near future.
