Therefore, the increasing disease prevalence in the region is expected to create growth opportunities for players to introduce oncology treatments and expand their presence. Market players are focusing on strategies such as acquisitions and mergers in order to strengthen their market share in global intensity modulated proton therapy market. For instance, in January 2020, Ion Beam Application S.A, a leading provider of proton therapy solutions, announced that the company has signed a contract with International Charity Foundation Cartu, the largest charity organization in Georgia. The contract includes clinical use of Proteus ONE solution for scientific research in campus of Kutaisi International University, in Georgia.

Furthermore, the increasing number of healthcare facilities offering intensity modulated proton therapy in Asia Pacific is expected to favor growth of the global intensity modulated proton therapy market in the region. For instance, in 2019, Apollo Hospitals Enterprise Limited, an Indian hospital chain, started the Apollo Proton Cancer Centre (APCC) in India equipped with intensity modulated proton therapy and image guided radiotherapy.
