On the basis of type of radioactive isotope, the report segments the global radiopharmaceuticals market into Mo-99/Tc-99m generators, Sr-82/Rb-82 generators, Ge-68/Ga-67,68 generators, W-188/Re-188 generators, and Sr-90/Y-90 generators. So far, Mo-99/Tc-99m generators have dominated the overall market owing to their established marketing channels. However, during the forecast horizon, it is expected that other segments of the market will witness growth at double-digit CAGRs.
Depending on application, the report categorizes the global radiopharmaceuticals market into diagnosis and therapy. The usage of radiopharmaceuticals for diagnosis includes the techniques of SPECT and PET, wherein radiopharmaceuticals are applied for the diagnosis of cardiovascular disorders, cancer, neurological disorders, thyroid diseases, and gastrointestinal disorders. The usage of radiopharmaceuticals for therapy includes various isotopes used in oncology, neurology, and cardiology. Oncology dominates the overall market for radiopharmaceuticals. While treating cancer, these radioactive agents target the cancerous areas in the body to destroy the affected tissues.
