Global Industrial Radioisotope Market Research Report 2024(Status and Outlook)
Report Overview
A radioisotope is the unstable form of an element that emits radiation, which is easily traceable, and are used in industry to test, trace and measure industrial processes and operations. Radioisotopes are used in many sectors of industry and for scientific research and development. This includes radioactive tracers, as nuclear measurement systems for process monitoring, and as non-destructive testing for quality control of materials and structures as well as integrity testing.
The application of radioisotopes is progressing rapidly. At present, the research hotspots of industrial application of isotope technology in the world focus on γ-CT non-destructive testing, radiation imaging safety inspection, research and development of new nuclear measurement and control instruments, environmental pollution monitoring and control, radiation processing, etc.
With several major international reactors for radioisotope preparation nearing the end of their lives and increasing emphasis on nuclear non-proliferation constraints, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) are focusing on HEU production Alternative technologies for the fission product molybdenum-99 include direct reactor production with low-enriched uranium and accelerator production. At present, the Netherlands (construction of reactors), Germany (construction of reactors), Australia (expansion of production capacity), Belgium (research on low-enriched uranium technology), South Korea (construction of special isotope reactors), and Canada (use of accelerators) are carrying out related work.
The global Industrial Radioisotope market size is projected to reach US$ 1496.23 Million by 2029 from US$ 810.76 million in 2022 at a CAGR of 9.32% during 2023-2029. Rising Demand for Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is the Radioisotope Market Growth core driving force. Radioactive materials can be used to check the integrity of metal parts and welds in a variety of industries. Industrial gamma radiography exploits the ability of various types of radiation to penetrate materials to varying degrees. Increased safety and quality assurance concerns in industries such as oil and gas, manufacturing, aerospace, and construction are driving the adoption of nondestructive testing techniques using industrial radioisotopes.
Additionally, industrial radioisotopes play a vital role in studying material flow rates, identifying inefficiencies and locating leaks, thereby aiding in process optimization. This provides material benefits to the industry, driving its demand. The increasing application of industrial instrumentation is also an important contributing factor. The use of industrial radioisotope gauges is expanding into industries requiring precise level measurements of gases, liquids and solids. These meters provide non-contact measurement capabilities, especially in challenging environments, and aid in process control and quality assurance. Factors such as the rapid development of food irradiation processing, the increasing adoption rate of emerging industries, and the gradual improvement of industry regulatory mechanisms will also play an important and positive role in the development of the industrial radioisotope market.
At the same time, factors such as limited public awareness of nuclear technology applications, regulatory compliance requirements, cost and accessibility, and the emergence of alternative technologies may hinder the rapid development of the industrial radioisotope market.
Segment by Type, the Industrial Radioisotope can be split into Tc-99m, Cobalt-60, Iridium-192, Cesium-137, Uranium-235, Carbon-14, Tritium (H-3), Cd-109, Others. Current Tc Two types of radioisotopes, -99m and Cobalt-60, are the most used and already account for 31.54% and 14.88% of the market in 2022, respectively. Tc-99m In addition to its extensive use in diagnostic imaging procedures in nuclear medicine, Tc-99m can be used in industrial radiography, flow visualization studies, environmental monitoring, and industrial research. The gamma radiation emitted by Tc-99m creates high-resolution images that aid in quality control and safety assurance in industries such as manufacturing, construction, and oil and gas. On the other hand, Cobalt-60 is widely used in industrial applications such as radiation therapy, sterilization of medical equipment, and food irradiation. It emits gamma radiation with high penetrating power, which makes it suitable for these applications.
Segment by Application, the Industrial Radioisotope can be split into Food Industry, Crack Monitoring, Inspection, Others. In 2022, the three industries of Food Industry, Crack Monitoring, and Inspection have occupied 26.04%, 27.54%, and 32.85% of the market share respectively. Radioactive isotopes such as Cobalt-60, Iridium-192, and Cesium-137 emit gamma rays and are used in radiographic testing (RT) and gamma-ray spectroscopy to detect defects, material thickness, and elemental composition. Radioisotope detection technology provides efficient and accurate results for the rapid detection of defects, inconsistencies and irregularities in materials and products. This helps ensure compliance with quality standards, minimize defects and increase product reliability. The use of industrial radioisotopes in the food industry is primarily driven by food irradiation applications. Radioactive isotopes such as Cobalt-60 and Cesium-137 are used in food irradiation to control pests, pathogens and spoilage microorganisms to improve food safety and extend the shelf life of various foods.
On basis of geography, the Industrial Radioisotope market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, Middle East and Africa, etc. Currently, the Asia-Pacific region contributes the highest revenue to the market. During the forecast period, the market size of the Asia-Pacific region will still expand at the highest CAGR of 12.81%. The Asia-Pacific region is experiencing rapid industrialization and infrastructure development, especially in emerging economies such as China, India, and Southeast Asian countries. This growth has driven the demand for radioisotopes in various industrial applications, including crack monitoring, inspection, and quality control in manufacturing, construction, and energy, among others. Moreover, the food industry in Asia Pacific is large and growing due to its population size and changing dietary patterns. The demand for radioisotopes in the food industry in Asia Pacific is expanding amid growing concerns over foodborne illnesses and the need for effective food preservation techniques.
According to our calculations, in 2022, the two indicators used to measure market concentration, CR5 and HHI, were 55.34% and 6.92% respectively. This means that the concentration of the global industrial radioisotope market is low, and the manufacturers in the market are still in the midst of fierce competition. There are numerous manufacturers operating at regional and global levels. This fragmentation is due to the ownership of radioisotope production facilities by different countries, including government agencies, research institutions and private companies. The existence of multiple manufacturers competing for market share prevents high concentration and fosters a competitive environment. Major players in the market include Eckert & Ziegler Strahlen, Nordion, IBA Group, Rosatom, ANSTO, China Isotope and Radiation Corporation (CIRC), NRG, NTP Radioisotopes, IRE ELiT, Polatom, FSUE Mayak PA, LANL (Los Alamos National Laboratory) , Board of Radiation and Isotope Technology.
