Radiation Shielding Materials Market Size, Share, Competitive Landscape and Trend Analysis Report by RADIATION TYPE, by Material and by END-USER : Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2023-2032

Radiation shielding is a process of directing the effects and level of entrance of radioactive beams, according to the type of radiation involved. Radiation shielding can minimize the effect of radiation by blocking particles through a barrier material. Various materials are used for shielding application that include Plexiglas, depleted uranium, tin, antimony and others. Shielding capacity of a material depends on the thickness of the material that is required to absorb half of the radiation. This thickness of the material is called half-thickness.

Factors such as increase in use of nuclear energy, growth in use of radiation therapy, rise in number of diagnostic imaging centers, surge in safety awareness among people, growth in the healthcare industry worldwide, increase in usage of nuclear medicine, and rise in number of nuclear energy plants are driving the growth of the global radiation shielding materials market. However, high cost of MRI systems and radiation shielding equipment hamper the growth of market. Improving healthcare infrastructure in emerging countries is anticipated to create lucrative growth opportunities for the market in future.

The global radiation shielding materials market is segmented into radiation type, material type, end-user, and region. Based on radiation type, the market is categorized into electromagnetic radiation, particle radiation, acoustic radiation, and gravitational radiation. According to material type, the market is segmented into ceramicrete, Plexiglas, depleted uranium, tin, antimony, tungsten, bismuth, lead, rubber, PVC, and others. On the basis of end-user, it is classified into diagnostic centers, hospitals, oncology department, nuclear energy plant, radiography centers, and others.

Based on region, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA. Among these regions, Asia-Pacific dominates the market due to rise in adoption of radiation therapy, increase in number of hospitals, and surge in awareness about radiation safety in countries such as India and China.
