Global Radioactive Source Market Research Report 2024(Status and Outlook)
Report Overview
A radioactive source is a known quantity of a radionuclide which emits ionizing radiation; typically one or more of the radiation types gamma rays, alpha particles, beta particles, and neutron radiation. Sources can be used for irradiation, calibration of radiometric process and radiation protection instrumentation. They are also used for industrial process measurements, such as thickness gauging in the paper and steel industries.
As an irradiation source they are used in medicine for radiation therapy and in industry for such as industrial radiography, food irradiation, sterilization and vermin disinfestation. At the same time, they have high research value and are widely used in chemical experiments.
The global radioactive source market was valued at USD 1024.44 million in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 1364.62 million by the end of 2028, growing at a CAGR of 4.11% between 2022 and 2028.
The market for radioactive source is on the rise owing to several factors. First of all, advantages of the radioactive sources like mature technology secure market position. Moreover, usage of radioactive sources in various industries amplifies the market growth. The vast usage of these sources has increased the global demand for the product. Lastly, more ways to reduce radioactive source contamination will help the industry grow in a sustainable way. Meanwhile, the market also face some challenges, among which the COVID-19 pandemic has obvious negative impact. The effect of lockdowns and strict social distancing norms on it was immense. Due to the pandemic, conducting experiments, observations and research proved to be very difficult. The production also stopped during the pandemic bringing down the market share. Those has limited the market growth. Other challenges include adoption of alternative technologies, rising concerns on environment and health, etc. However, overall market outlook is still good.
Segment by type, the Radioactive Source can be split into Mo-99, Co-60, Ir-192 etc. In 2021, Mo-99 occupies the most dominant market share, accounting for 46.23%, followed by the Co-60 ( 24.31% ) and Ir-92 ( 10.75% ). The radiation produced by cobalt-60 is crucial to the medical community for cancer treatments and sterilization of medical devices. Cobalt-60 is widely employed by the healthcare industry to sterilize medical devices such as sutures, gloves, and syringes. In Cobalt-60 market, the Medical Devices segment holds an important share in terms of application.
From the perspective of application scenarios, medical field is the most important use of Radioactive Source and it contributes to 61.60% of the market share. It is expected to continue dominate the market, with the predicted market share of 61.41% in 2022. Another important use of Radioactive Source is in industrial area with 23.58% market share. It can be used to produce industrial fixed gauges, industrial radiography cameras, well logging devices.
On basis of geography, the Radioactive Source market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, Middle East and Africa, etc. The same status will remain for several years. In 2021, Europe's sales accounted for approximately 36.54% of the global market, while North America accounted for 31.62%. Asia Pacific is estimated to be an important region in the global radioactive source market in the near future. At the same time, North America is likely to lead the market in the next few years. Several countries in the region, such as China, India, and Japan, are investing more in this area. The Radioactive Source market in Latin America, Middle East & Africa is expected to expand steadily during the forecast period.
