Global proton therapy 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 2019 as "coronavirus disease 2019" 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 drugs from one place to another.

The outbreak of COVID-19 on proton therapy had a positive effects on the market. The wide spread of the coronavirus with rising infection and reduced number of patients visiting the hospital for treatment. Imposed rules in the region from the government during COVID-19 led to a decrease in the production and manufacturing of proton therapy. The post-pandemic situation in proton therapy with increased demands from the customer for radiation therapy and enhance developments in proton therapy during the forecast period. COVID-19 appears to have the worst results in lung cancer patients. Lung damage or reduced lung capacity can be caused by the disease itself or by cancer treatments such as radiation and surgery. For instance, in May 2020, according to The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center a comprehensive cancer center in the U.S., the screening of cancer patients gradually decreased during the pandemic, which tends to show a reduction in the use of proton therapy for cancer and also affected the gradually count of cancer patients.

Global proton therapy market: Key Developments

In April 2022, The Connecticut Office of Health Strategy (OHS), which develops health policy that improves health outcomes, announced that it had approved, with conditions, the Certificate of Need application to allow Harford HealthCare Corporation, a provider of healthcare services and Yale New Haven Health Services Corporation, a nonprofit healthcare system to establish proton therapy services through a newly established joint venture, Connecticut Proton Therapy Center, LLC.

In March 2022, Tractebel, a global engineering compan, and IBA Radiopharma Solutions, designs, builds, and operates PET centers that produce radiopharmaceuticals for cancer treatment, announced that it has signed a partnership agreement to strengthen their cooperation in the field of proton therapy, an advanced form of radiation therapy designed to kill cancer cells. The agreement provides that IBA will promote Tractebel’s engineering services to its prospective customers to help them design and build proton therapy facilities.

In March 2021, Mevion Medical Systems, a provider of proton therapy systems for use in radiation treatment for cancer patients, announced that it has signed a partnership agreement with Children’s Hospital of Fudan University in Shanghai and Shanghai Fosun Healthcare (Group) Co., Ltd. to establish the first pediatric proton therapy center in China. Under the agreement, the three parties will collaborate on the proton therapy center’s development, clinical services, training, and research activities.
