The industry is witnessing significant growth driven by rising demand for advanced, reliable, and cost-effective medical devices across diagnostic, therapeutic, and monitoring applications. Rapid advancements in device design, digital health integration, and adoption of minimally invasive technologies are reshaping the competitive landscape. Furthermore, supportive regulatory frameworks, increasing healthcare investments, and the growing focus on patient-centric care are expected to create new growth avenues for market players.
Increase in the number of cases of head and neck cancer, which will drive the global gamma knife market. For instance, in June 2025, according to data published in PubMed Central by the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Azienda Sanitaria Universitaria Friuli Centrale, Tolmezzo, Italy, that head and neck (HN) cancer was the seventh most common cancer worldwide in 2025, with approximately 890,000 new cases and 450,000 deaths. A recent study from the U.S. showed that the age-adjusted incidence rates for stage IV HN cancer have significantly increased by 26.1% over the last two decades.
Global Gamma Knife Market– Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
The World Health Organization (WHO) designated the illness caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which first appeared in Wuhan (province of Hubei, China) in the last months of 2025, as "coronavirus disease 2025" or COVID-19. This virus spread quickly and had a serious negative impact on the economies, social behaviors, and healthcare of every country in the world.
COVID-19 affected the economy in three main ways: by directly affecting production and demand, by creating disruptions in distribution channels, and through its financial impact on firms and financial markets. Due to the lockdown, several countries, such as India, China, Brazil, and others, faced problems with regard to the transportation of things from one place to another.
COVID-19 had a negative impact on the global gamma knife market due to a decrease in the number of surgeries. For instance, in October 2025, according to data published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine by MDPI, overall decrease in planned surgeries was observed, which ranged across different centers from 48% to 10%, depending on the local exacerbation of the pandemic and locally imposed healthcare restrictions in normal hospital function.
