Inorganic Scintillators Market Size Worth $491.0 Million By 2025

The global inorganic scintillators market size is expected to reach USD 491.0 million by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing market penetration of scintillating materials in medical imaging devices is expected to result in propelling market expansion over the forecast period. Cesium iodide and sodium iodide thin film imaging plates have witnessed a surge in demand over the past few years on account of its low cost and superior performance as compared to phosphorus plates. 

The increasing trend of using low-cost scintillating materials for the purpose of radiation detection has been a critical factor for growth. The demand for inorganic scintillating materials was USD 324.0 million in 2015. Growing demand for domestic security materials has resulted in pushing the demand for inorganic scintillators industry.

The medical imaging sector has also witnessed an increasing trend of using radiation detection materials owing to their superior properties. Emerging economies including India and China are improving their security systems including stations, ports, and airports by installing radiation detection systems.
