Market Research Report Proton therapy Global Market research Report,Asia | Page 2

At present Asia has about 15 proton therapy centres and it is expected that this number will
increase to almost double in the coming years. This is because many facilities for proton
therapy are either in under-construction or in the planning phase. Japan dominates the Asian
proton therapy market and has the second largest market share globally. South Korea is the
second largest provider of proton therapy in Asia. China and Korea have been increasing
their contribution to the industry every year.
IBA, Varian Medical Systems and Elekta are some of the biggest companies that are present
in the proton therapy industry globally.The leading company in Japan for proton therapy is
Mitsubishi. However, there are many other companies who have managed to make a mark on
the Japanese market like IBA, Hitachi, and Sumitomo etc. China has the largest population in
the world and consequently the number of cancer patients is gigantic. This provides a huge
market opportunity that has been identified by companies well. IBA already has one
operational proton therapy centre in China and four more centres are in development phase.
Two proton therapy centres are under development in India and are scheduled to start in 2018
and 2019.
Around 60% of the total world population lives in Asia and it is home to nearly half of the
cancer patients. This provides a lot of potential to grow and expand for the proton therapy
industry. There is a huge gap between the demand and supply of proton therapy. The cases of
cancer have been increasing rapidly and the demand for the therapy is high but the number of
patients that can be treated is relatively low due to the limited availability of proton therapy
centres. One of the major hindrance in the proton therapy industry is the cost and size of the
particle accelerator, synchrotron. It requires high initial investment and is quite outsized too.
Many companies have been trying to enlarge accelerators that are smaller. Some of the
technologies that are being considered include ultra-compact synchrotrons, linear particle
accelerators, super conducting synchrocyclotrons and dielectric wall accelerators.
