Global Fiducial Markers Market Size (2023 to 2028)

The global market size for fiducial markers is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.93% from 2023 to 2028 and be worth USD 241.5 million by 2028 from USD 199.18 million in 2023.

A fiducial marker is a radiotherapy device to indicate the surgical location and delivers the exact radiation dosage. The fiducial marker can assist the doctor in pinpointing the exact position of the tumor and administering the appropriate dose of radiation to the patient without causing tissue damage.

Impact of COVID-19 on the global fiducial markers market:

The latest coronavirus outbreak has had a significant impact on the global healthcare landscape. Important healthcare corporations are speeding their efforts to create viable vaccines and treatments as global hospital infrastructures come under increasing strain. Despite this, due to the continuous availability of cancer treatment, the market for fiducial markers remained strong. In recent months, the use of radiation therapy has skyrocketed. Initially, surgeons were concerned that because radiation therapy is administered in fractions, patients would have to return to the hospital several times, increasing their infection risk. Because of this, hospitals and other healthcare providers have begun to schedule virtual consultations and postpone in-person sessions when they are not required. Only those who need to be operated on for life-threatening conditions travel to hospitals and hospital outpatient facilities, which keeps the need for fiducial markers high. The global fiducial markers market is predicted to realize its full potential over the period since constraints and the spread of COVID-19 infection has diminished.

MARKET DRIVERS:

As cancer rates rise worldwide, the global market for fiducial markers is likely to grow.

Increased awareness of fiducial markers due to an accurate cancer diagnosis will boost the growth of the global fiducial markers market. Technological advancements associated with an advanced navigation system will aid in accurate product placement and rising investments and funds by private and public organizations in cancer research will fuel the global market growth of fiducial markers. In addition, the development of the ultrasound modality has been aided by technological improvements and an increase in demand for minimally invasive surgeries. The market for fiducial markers will rise as a result of this.

Medical Technologies assist in locating the target to put the fiducial marker for radiation or excision properly. This technology generates a report with a 3D image of fiducials for accurate diagnosis and treatment. Adopting fiducial markers is expected to be aided by increased awareness of targeted radiation procedures such as image-guided radiotherapy, intensity-modulated radiotherapy, and stereotactic radiosurgery. Because of the problems and side effects of chemotherapy and targeted medication therapy, radiation is likely to increase in popularity during the forecast period significantly. As the demand for fiducial markers in radiotherapy develops, manufacturers and suppliers will see greater demand in the coming years.

MARKET RESTRAINTS:

On the other hand, the growth of the global fiducial markers market is being stifled by a scarcity of competent and experienced oncologists in emerging nations and the delayed adoption of modern technologies. In addition, product implantation problems and post-procedure side effects may limit the deployment of fiducial markers. Utilizing fiducial markers has several drawbacks. Because of the invasive nature of this procedure, it is not suitable for everyone. Furthermore, fiducial markers degrade image quality during scanning, making it challenging for tumor detection. Alternative therapy choices and complications with product insertion and use, on the other hand, may hamper the market to some extent.

This research report on the global fiducial markers market has been segmented and sub-segmented based on product, cancer type, end-user & region.

Fiducial Markers Market – By Product:

  • Metal-based Markers
    • Pure Gold
    • Gold Alloys
    • Other Metal-based Markers
  • Polymer-based Markers
  • Other Fiducial Markers

The metal-based markers segment is expected to expand in popularity based on the product due to several advantages associated with this form of marker. Gold markers, gold combination markers, and other metals such as platinum and tungsten are metal-based markers. Using gold markers in radiation processes leads to increased accuracy, stability, and efficiency in MRI. In addition, these gold markers can be used with other metals to improve imaging modalities' visibility. As a result of the benefits associated with the markers, there will be a significant demand for cancer therapies, boosting the segment's growth.

Fiducial Markers Market – By Cancer Type:

  • Lung Cancer
  • Breast Cancer
  • Gastric Cancer
  • Prostate Cancer

Based on cancer type, the prostate cancer segment had the most significant share in the global fiducial markers market in 2022 and it is expected to grow at a robust CAGR during the forecast period. The primary element driving the segment's growth is increasing product use in the treatment of prostate cancer.

Fiducial Markers Market – By End-User:

  • Hospitals & Outpatient Facilities
  • Independent Radiotherapy Centers
  • Cancer Research Centers

In the past, the hospital and outpatient facilities segment had the most significant share in the global fiducial markers market in 2022. The segment's expansion is projected to be aided by the availability of modern radiation equipment in these healthcare settings.

Fiducial Markers Market – By Region:

  • North America
  • Europe
  • Asia-Pacific
  • Latin America
  • Middle East and Africa

Manufacturers have a multitude of opportunities in Germany, which is the center of Europe's largest market for fiducial markers. The demand for fiducial markers is fast increasing as the rate of cancers such as lung cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, and others rises. Breast and colorectal cancers are the most common because of the aging population and rising obesity rates. Furthermore, rising CE approval of various fiducial markers will aid regional market expansion. Virtualization of appointments, home blood sample and medicine administration, and intravenous therapy should all be used to give special attention to a patient with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The market for fiducial markers in Europe is growing due to all of this.

China is well ahead of the rest of the world regarding cancer diagnosis and treatment. For makers of fiducial markers, incorporating new technology in cancer radiation has made it exceedingly profitable. As a result, the Asia Pacific is predicted to grow quickly during the forecast period. The region's growth is likely to be boosted by unmet clinical needs and an increase in cancer care programs, particularly in China and India.

North America is expected to hold a significant market share in the global fiducial markers market due to rising cancer prevalence, the presence of many major players, increasing research and development expenditure, raising patient awareness and preference for radiotherapy, reimbursement policies, and technological advancements. In North America, the United States holds the most significant proportion of the fiducial markers market.
