Increasing funding to support preclinical research and the rising usage of radiopharmaceuticals for diagnostics spur the growth of the market. The US and Canada are major radiopharmaceuticals markets in the region. The North American radiopharmaceuticals market is estimated to continue its dominance over the global market throughout the forecast period.

Europe stands second in the global radiopharmaceuticals market. The market growth is driven by the increasing funding and initiatives from governments and support from regulatory authorities for the development of radiopharmaceuticals in the region.  Moreover, increasing demand for innovative and easy-to-use imaging agents in the medical sector has increased the size of the market.

Furthermore, growing healthcare expenses, the resurging economy, and spreading awareness about radiopharmaceuticals' modalities in the region positively impact the regional market. The European radiopharmaceuticals market is expected to register around 9.67% CAGR during the forecast period.

The Asia Pacific radiopharmaceuticals market is growing rapidly. The region attracts foreign investors due to its raw material advantage and cost-competitive workforce. As a result, many radiopharmaceutical companies are expanding their footprints in the region, especially in rapidly developing countries like China, Singapore, and India.

Moreover, factors such as the growing penetration of imaging technology for medical imaging purposes, improving healthcare sectors, and rising healthcare spending increase the radiopharmaceuticals market size. The APAC Radiopharmaceuticals market is projected to create a substantial revenue pocket over the assessment period.

October 2023: Eclipse and GE HealthCare led an oversubscribed $56 million Series A funding round for Nucleus RadioPharma, which is the first fully integrated development, manufacturing, and supply chain organization for radiopharmaceuticals. Other investors included Echo Global, Fox Chase Cancer Center, Granger Management, Mayo Clinic, Mercy Health, and the University of Missouri. In order to research, manufacture, and distribute radiopharmaceuticals, Nucleus RadioPharma will use the proceeds from this round of fundraising to open various new production sites around the country, notably in Rochester, Minnesota, close to the Mayo Clinic. Nucleus RadioPharma will not only help create the future of manufacturing, but also of a new supply chain network that will help move, track, and distribute products to patients more quickly and effectively. Target molecules will be identified, remedies will be tested, regulatory approvals will be supported, and finally, medicine will be delivered to patients with the help of this network.

October 2023: Pluvicto (lutetium vipivotide tetraxetan) sales increased by 220 percent, and Novartis expects this trend to continue as a result of a positive data readout. This income gain was also 12% higher than the same period last year when adjusted for the impact of foreign exchange rates. Novartis has released its first quarterly financial results after severing relations with Sandoz, a generics medication business it formerly owned. If Novartis hadn't encountered supply problems that limited patient access for much of 2023, Pluvicto's sales increase would have been much more impressive.  In addition to Pluvicto, Novartis also sells the radioligand treatment Lutathera (lutetium Lu 177 dotatate), which is used to treat some types of neuroendocrine tumors. Sales of Lutathera were $159 million in the third quarter of 2023.
