South Africa represents a unique mix of opportunity and constraint in the Li-NCT market. On one hand, the country has a well-established nuclear research base, such as the SAFARI-1 reactor, which provides a technical advantage for future Li-NCT deployment. The high prevalence of cancer, coupled with limited access to targeted treatment options in rural and underserved regions, highlights the pressing need for innovative cancer therapies. However, economic constraints and unequal distribution of healthcare infrastructure remain key hurdles. The market also faces a slow pace of regulatory reforms specific to neutron-based cancer therapies. Despite this, rising awareness about precision oncology and academic research interest in lithium-based radiopharmaceuticals are notable trends. With gradual policy alignment and foreign investment, the South African market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% through the forecast period.
