United States Scintillator Market

Market Overview:

The United States scintillator market size reached US$ 184.0 Million in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 272.5 Million by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.3% during 2024-2032.

Scintillators are materials that absorb high-energy photons and incident particles to emit pulses of light. These materials convert gathered energy into the ultraviolet (UV) range of photons, which ensure detection by photomultipliers and photodiodes. They also help in determining the energy and time of incident radiation efficiently. Moreover, they are more sensitive to deposited energy as compared to other types of radiation detectors. Consequently, they are used in nuclear plants, medical imaging, high-energy particle experiments and national security in the United States.

Scintillators are integrated into medical devices, such as X-ray machines, computerized tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET) and single-photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) scanners. The rising prevalence of cancer, along with the increasing utilization of radiation therapy, represents one of the significant factors bolstering the growth of the market in the United States. Additionally, stringent homeland security measures in the country are further impelling the market growth. For example, the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is supporting the development of solid organic scintillators for detecting radioactive substances and preventing radiological threats under the Exploratory Research and Small Business Innovative Research programs. Apart from this, scintillators are used in several industries for monitoring contamination and analyzing thermal neutron activation during the manufacturing processes.
