Scintillator Market by Composition of Material, Application, End Product & Geography - Global Forecast and Analysis to 2020
M2 - Thu Aug 21, 3:48AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/l2b92x/scintillator) has announced the addition of the "Scintillator Market by Composition of Material, Application, End Product & Geography - Global Forecast and Analysis to 2013 - 2020" report to their offering. The Scintillator market is expected to reach $479.16 Million by 2020, at an estimated CAGR of 5.62% from 2014 to 2020. A scintillator is a material that identifies nuclear particles and radiation by re-emitting the incident radiation in the form of light photons, which are further converted to electric signals by photomultiplier tubes. Initially, applications of these materials were limited to medical and visual counting purposes, but in the recent few years, scintillators have made a radical shift towards security, high energy physics, astrophysics, nuclear power plants, and scientific applications. Though inorganic compounds are the most dominant materials leveraged for radiation detection in radiation monitoring and measurement devices, many new compound scintillators have evolved due to the surge in research initiatives by the private and government sectors; such as cerium doped lanthanum halides, Europium doped strontium iodide, LSO, LYSO, and others. These continuous developments are driven by the emergence of new applications and due to the growing need of hand held and portable radiation detectors. Scintillators have a huge growth potential, especially, in markets that are characterized by low cost, and high resolution and performance in terms of the radiation monitoring equipment. The main driving factors responsible for the explosive growth of the overall market include application driven research activities, need to find alternatives for neutron detection, supportive regulations, government funding, and radiation exposure related safety concerns. Among all the application sectors, healthcare, nuclear power plants, and homeland security account for the largest market share. Moreover, healthcare, including medical imaging and nuclear medicine, homeland security, and nuclear power industry are estimated to grow exponentially in the coming future.
