Description

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Radiopharmaceutical market size was valued at US$ 6871 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 11060 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 7.1% during review period.

Radiopharmaceuticals are radioactive compounds administered to the patient, and monitored via specific imaging devices, for diagnosis and therapeutic purposes. It is composed of a radioisotope bond to an organic molecule. The organic molecule conveys the radioisotope to specific organs, tissues or cells. The radioisotope is selected for its properties. Radiopharmaceuticals are used in the field of nuclear medicine as radioactive tracers in medical imaging and in therapy for many diseases (for example, brachytherapy). Many radiopharmaceuticals use technetium-99m (Tc-99m) which has many useful properties as a gamma-emitting tracer nuclide.

The radiopharmaceutical market is driven primarily by the growing prevalence of cancer and cardiovascular diseases, which require precise diagnostic tools for early detection and treatment. The increasing adoption of nuclear medicine imaging techniques, such as PET and SPECT scans, has further fueled demand for radiopharmaceuticals. Additionally, technological advancements in radiopharmaceuticals, along with the development of new radioisotopes for more targeted therapies, are expanding the applications of these drugs, making them critical in personalized medicine.

Despite the promising growth, the radiopharmaceutical market faces significant challenges, including the high cost of production and the short half-life of many radioisotopes, which complicates distribution and storage. Regulatory hurdles are another barrier, as radiopharmaceuticals require stringent approval processes due to their radioactive nature. Moreover, limited availability of specialized infrastructure and the shortage of trained professionals in nuclear medicine also hinder widespread adoption, especially in developing regions.

There is widespread awareness of the use of radiation and radioisotopes in medicine, particularly for diagnosis (identification) and therapy (treatment) of various medical conditions. In developed countries (a quarter of the world population) about one person in 50 uses diagnostic nuclear medicine each year, and the frequency of therapy with radioisotopes is about one-tenth of this.

Nuclear medicine uses radiation to provide information about the functioning of a person's specific organs, or to treat disease. In most cases, the information is used by physicians to make a quick diagnosis of the patient's illness. The thyroid, bones, heart, liver, and many other organs can be easily imaged, and disorders in their function revealed. In some cases radiation can be used to treat diseased organs, or tumours.

Over 10,000 hospitals worldwide use radioisotopes in medicine, and about 90% of the procedures are for diagnosis. The most common radioisotope used in diagnosis is technetium-99 (Tc-99m) accounting for about 80% of all nuclear medicine procedures and 85% of diagnostic scans in nuclear medicine worldwide.Over 50 million nuclear medicine procedures are performed each year, and demand for radioisotopes is increasing.
