According to Technavio’s market research report, the global radiation survey meters market will grow at a steady rate and post a CAGR of more than 5% during the forecast period. The increasing use of nuclear energy for electricity generation will drive the growth prospects for the global radiation survey meters market during the projected period. The market is witnessing a huge shift from natural gas or coal for the generation of energy towards the use of nuclear energy because the use of natural gas or coal produces a huge amount of carbon dioxide. Continuous energy production, high performance, and resisting the volatility in the prices of other fuels such as diesel and petrol are some of the benefits of using nuclear power plants for the generation of energy. Consequently, the demand for safety equipment like radiological survey meters to ensure the safety of people and environment will increase from various countries that highly depend on nuclear energy.
In terms of geographic regions, North America accounted for the maximum shares of the radiation survey meters market during 2016. The huge demand for radiation detectors and radiation meters from the homeland security and defense sectors will be a major factor fueling the demand for radiation survey meters in this region. According to this market research and analysis, this region will continue to dominate the radioactive detector market throughout the predicted period as well.
The global radiation survey meters market is characterized by the presence of well-established vendors and is highly competitive. The major vendors focus on acquiring highly-specialized companies that offer services to various sectors such as medical or nuclear power. The radiation meter manufacturers provide radiation measurement services for various application industries such as defense, healthcare, nuclear plants, academia, and research. New product launches and the introduction of products with additional features such as background noise calibration will intensify the level of competition among the market players in the radioactive detector market.
Key vendors in this market are -
Other prominent vendors in the market include Polimaster and Thermo Fisher Scientific.
During 2016, the healthcare segment accounted for the largest share of the radiation survey meters market and will continue to dominate the market until the end of the forecast period. Since the healthcare industry involves a high degree of radiation therapy exposure for the treatment of cancer, a large number of healthcare units increasingly rely on survey meters for radiation sterilization. Computed tomography (CT), fluoroscopy, and nuclear medicine are the three major sources of radiations in the healthcare segment.
The scintillation detector segment accounted for the majority shares of the radioactive detector market during 2016. The production of scintillation detectors is inexpensive and their performance is highly-efficient. This propels the application of scintillation detectors among various end users. Additionally, benefits such as radiation protection, high-speed performance, quick readings, and tolerance towards high magnetic field, will also fuel the demand of scintillation detectors.
