Scintillator Market worth $479.16 Million by 2020, According to a New Study on ASDReports

Friday 10 October 2014, Amsterdam

The elements behind the rapid upsurge in the scintillator market are the innovative and advanced technologies, government funding for increased R&D, wide need of radiation detection instruments across application markets, and development of high performance products at a low cost. In addition, depletion of Helium-3 for neutron detection in security operations, advancements in medical imaging and nuclear medicine, and increasing number of nuclear power plants is also believed to provide a further impetus to the growth of the scintillator market.

Till 2013, the ‘Americas’ held the largest revenue share followed by Europe— in scintillator materials, and related solutions. However, the APAC, with a CAGR of 9.56%, will be close to Europe in terms of the scintillator market revenue by 2020. The foremost factors accountable for the expansion of the scintillator market include improved resolution and performance requirement while optimizing the cost, increasing awareness for radiation safety measures, and demand for radiation safety devices.  APAC is the fastest growing and most promising market for scintillators due to the increasing number of upcoming nuclear reactors, high industrial growth, supportive government policies, and financial investment by the governments in R&D. The major companies operating in this market are Saint Gobain (France), Ludlum Measurements (U.S.), Zecotek Photonics Inc. (Canada), and Mirion Technologies (U.S.), among others.
