The Radioligand Therapy (RLT) Market involves the use of radioactive isotopes linked to ligands to target and treat specific cancer cells, minimizing damage to healthy tissue. This form of targeted radiotherapy is primarily applied in prostate cancer, neuroendocrine tumors, and other oncology indications.
Rising cancer prevalence, advancements in personalized medicine, and growing adoption of theranostic approaches (combining therapy and diagnostics) are driving the demand for radioligand therapies. The market is also supported by increasing clinical trials, regulatory approvals, and technological innovations in radiopharmaceutical development.
The global radioligand therapy market is expected to grow from USD 9.78 billion in 2022 to USD 14.91 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 5.42% during the forecast period 2022-2030.
