The global irradiation apparatus market size is estimated to reach USD 11.14 billion in 2030 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.0% from 2025 to 2030. Irradiation apparatus produces radiation in the form of high-speed neutrons, gamma rays, X-rays, electrons, and alpha–beta particles. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) through the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act (FDAMA) recognizes various X-ray imaging standards. The combination of laser beam along with rotary laser irradiation apparatus enables uniform width irradiation, a phenomenon called linear welding. Using conventional irradiation apparatus was expensive and inconvenient, and at the same time portable irradiation apparatus made a breakthrough by working on these restraints. X-ray has its applications in metal detection, securing against terrorist attacks, and body scanners; while advances such as linear accelerators and accelerator electrons have made their mark in medical and research industries, medical, veterinary, research purposes, dental, and podiatric diagnosis.
