The Asia Pacific region is expected to be the fastest-growing market for Li-NCT, driven by rising cancer incidence, unmet clinical needs, and rapid technology adoption in nations such as Japan, South Korea, and India. The primary driver is the expansion of advanced radiotherapy infrastructure supported by public health initiatives and growing private investment. Countries like Japan are already pioneers in Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT), creating a technological base adaptable for lithium isotopes. However, regulatory heterogeneity across the region is a notable restraint, slowing market entry. A major trend is the emergence of multi-nation cancer research collaborations and government-funded pilot centers for neutron therapies. The region also benefits from cost-effective isotope production and a large talent pool in nuclear medicine. Asia Pacific presents an ideal ground for scaling Li-NCT commercialization beyond the research stage, particularly for brain, liver, and pancreatic cancers. With strong pipeline momentum and increasing medical tourism, the market is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 16.8% over the next five to seven years.
