Global Silicon Drift Detector System Market 2025 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2031

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Silicon Drift Detector System market size was valued at US$ 45.2 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 66.7 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 6.1% during review period.

Silicon Drift Detector (SDD) is a type of semiconductor detector used to detect X-rays. It is a large area of ​​uniform pn junction prepared on the ray incident surface of a high-purity n-type silicon wafer, a point-shaped n-type anode prepared in the center of the other side, and many concentric p-type drift electrodes around the anode. When working, a reverse voltage is applied to the pn junctions on both sides of the device, thereby generating a potential well (for electrons) in the device body. Adding a potential difference to the drift electrode will generate a transverse electric field in the device, which will bend the potential well and force the signal electrons generated by the incident radiation to drift toward the anode under the action of the electric field, and reach the anode (readout electrode) to generate a signal. SDD is widely used in fields such as energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (XRF) or X-ray energy spectrometer (EDS) due to its high energy resolution, fast response and low noise, especially in X-ray detection occasions requiring high resolution and high sensitivity. The report focuses on the complete silicon drift detector system.

The global key Silicon Drift Detector System manufacturers include Ketek, Hitachi High-Technologies, Amptek (AMETEK), etc.

The market drivers of silicon drift detectors are complex and diverse. Here are some of the main market drivers:

Aging population: With the aging of the global population, the demand for medical services continues to increase. As a key component of medical imaging equipment, the market demand for silicon drift detectors has also increased. Especially in the field of medical imaging diagnosis, SDD provides doctors with more accurate diagnostic basis due to its high resolution and sensitivity.

Increasing government investment in medical and health care: Governments of various countries are increasing their investment in medical and health care to improve medical standards and the quality of medical services. This has promoted the updating and upgrading of medical equipment and provided strong support for the development of the silicon drift detector market. Government investment is not only used to purchase advanced medical equipment, but also includes the construction and transformation of medical and health infrastructure, which provides a guarantee for the market demand for SDD.

Scientific and technological progress promotes the research and development and application of new medical equipment: With the advancement of science and technology, the research and development and application of new medical equipment are accelerating. As a new generation of X-ray detectors, silicon drift detectors have many advantages that traditional detectors cannot match. Therefore, they have been widely used in medical imaging, material analysis and other fields.

Patients' pursuit of high-quality diagnosis and treatment experience: With the improvement of living standards, patients' requirements for medical services are getting higher and higher. They hope to obtain a more accurate, fast and comfortable diagnosis and treatment experience. Silicon drift detectors can meet this demand of patients due to their high resolution, fast response and low noise, thereby improving the satisfaction and reputation of medical services.

In summary, the market driving factors of silicon drift detectors mainly include the aging of the population, the government's increased investment in medical and health care, the development and application of new medical equipment promoted by scientific and technological progress, and the pursuit of high-quality diagnosis and treatment experience by patients. These factors have jointly promoted the rapid development of the silicon drift detector market.
